http://www.rs-flag.com/ We will be WORLDS No.1 JAPANESE USED CAR EXPORTER!! RISING-SUN FLAG TRADING continues to play an important role in the field of export. ja Copyright 2009 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:58:22 +0900 It was blessed with the opportunity to test-ride Jaguar XF in Monaco before the debut in Japan. The ability of the new generation jaguar clothed in hi-technology is how. We will send a Tatsuya Kushima reporter's account of a trial ride to you. The mid size saloon of the jaguar announced by the Frankfurt auto show of autumn last year and XF were released at last. Because this car has debuted as a concept car of the name of C-XF also by the Detroit auto show of the 2007 year beginning of the year, it serves as the impression ..., at last. However, it is [ big ] reasonable in having appealed that in teaser. They are the sluggish sales in the main market North America on account of [ which a jaguar has ] conservativeness. Then, it is existence of the new model which incorporated a new concept, and the hope for a jaguar needed to be instigated. This technique is used also with the new model XK of precedence. And the 2nd phase is this XF. Only to 4 door saloon which serves as volume zone at a handy price from XK, the degree of expectation is high also as a jaguar side. Probably that sales trend influences this future brand, but it will be good. The chassis of XF is an evolved type of XK. Although aluminum is not used abundantly like XK, the weight saving is fully attained. The prejudice to 空力 is also strong. Use the low tail of jaguar tradition as a high tail, and downforce is earned, and also the angle of the window of order was made almost equal, the lift difference was brought close to zero, and the splendid numerical value of the Cd value 0.29 is produced. a result -- XF -- a jaguar in history but the 空力 characteristic -- having excelled -- a model -- becoming -- てい . The exterior design which has pushed forward newness is valued in the portion in which DNA of the jaguar also hid. It is said that according to a design director, Mr. Ian Callum, it is a line into which E type flows, and it is the purity of a mark 2 and is the proportion of XJ6 series 1. Incidentally, although the front mask referred to the mark 2 at the beginning of development, since it is too retro, it is said that it referred to XJ6 for 68 years. Although it is a digression, Mr. Ian Callum is the person who designed van quiche by アストン Martin before the jaguar transfer. Also in the utility, XF is finished well. The angle of improvement in the 空力 characteristic to the rear window became equivalent to a front window, but even so, the head was not obstructed in a backseat. It is more impressive by the benefit of a long wheel base that the step was felt large than by it. In S class, it is also the feature of this car that the high dashboard became low. Thereby, of course, the front field of view from a backseat greatly opened the front seat. I want to observe this dashboard also in the height of design nature (refer to photograph flash). The retro modern effect which makes the design of mid-century furniture consider could be called true value of a new jaguar. He has a premonition which has big influence on the interior design of a future car. He visits a dealer by all means and I want to confirm by my eyes. A trial ride vehicle is two sets, the natural aspiration (NA) of V8, and this unit + supercharger (SC), 4.2l. The former is [ 298ps and the latter of a horsepower output ] 416ps. In addition to this by Japanese specification, V6 [ 3l. ] is prepared. It fights there with an output called 238ps. NA and SC became and drive Feer was sporty. A lighter accelerator and the engine response to it are sensitive, and push out XF in front lightly. The reaction of a steering is also quick. That is not right, either, if sporty this much and a degree of comfort is also called slight hardness or ?. There is no rough pressure from below etc. and it lets a level difference go past flexibly. This neighborhood is carried out to although put, can be bought and can be. Probably, it is a thing with a strange arrangement. The jaguar customer's "cat leg" is living. Of course, SC loading car called SV8 demonstrates supreme performance. Although it is the degree which attached the mouth involuntarily as "? [ being quick ] which elapse and is not", correspondence of a brake to power is performed enough. When above-mentioned Mr. Ian Callum was interviewed by Tokyo Motor Show last autumn, he had said, "If not only a design but this car runs, it is uncannier ...." Indeed, I feel that I understand, so that it passed enough for the meaning by this trial ride. Evolution of a jaguar and its directivity became clear now. Though a heritage is valued, it is going to take in spirit of innovation and a sporty run positively. The "jaguar sense" which adopted touch sensing, the "starting sequence" which a start button turns on like the beat of the heart, etc. are the equipment which is not until now, and can be expected that such technology will become standard in the industry from now on. By the way, a sale start in Japan consists of May 16. A price is entry model 3.0 luxury and is from 6,500,000 yen. Therefore, SV8 of a top end is the difference of about 3,500,000 yen 9,950,000 yen. according to 3l. performance -- super- -- it may become 得な shopping. However, a larger wheel suits this car well. The style of SV8 which wore 20 inches will be best matching. Jaguar XF SV8 ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/jaguar_xf_sv8.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/jaguar_xf_sv8.html Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:58:22 +0900 SR was set additionally to the セルボ series of Suzuki. It is said that this grade that combined CVT with the direct injection turbo is finished on the car by which economical efficiency and the environmental performance matched the pleasure which runs splendidly. Now, how is it in practice? It decided to get in instantly. It is positioning of セルボ which is an upper class and does not change an individual and オシャレ car from ancient times rather than alto. Reigning as an upper grade also in it is SR. A grade called SR existed in the old generation's セルボ, and セルボ SR which was added this time also serves as a model which belongs to the lineage. SR is the abbreviation for sporty & リファインド -- " -- the implications by which" of fine quality is inherited from the old generation although it is sporty. However, although the direction of the sport route was emphasized a long time ago, a place called [ new generation ] イイ also in run and イイ けど fuel consumption serves as the point. Now, although it is a design of the セルボ SR, an aero bumper and a front grille for exclusive use are adopted, and sportiness is directed. The power sauce carried is a direct injection (DI) turbo, and, as for missions, CVT with 7 速 manual mode is put together. This combination becomes the first in Japan. Incidentally at the time of the addition of SR, partial improvement of other grades is also performed. Although it is セルボ SR used as sporty appearance, interior design is what added the high-quality feeling to sportiness. The leather steering to which the panel and silver stitch of the piano black but arranged on the instrument panel center as other grades with same シボ of S character instrument panel of a design with a motion and atmosphere which was deleted with the graver were given is setting the high-class feeling adrift. That the semi sport bucket seat is prepared for the front seat also makes firm support performance taste by no one but [ RS ]. As for the specification of leather & artificial suede, the sheet is prepared. It is also good to have not made the backseat neglectful. A right-and-left independent reclining type for exclusive use is adopted with reexamination of sheet form, and a rich degree of comfort is offered. It evolved into one wide-range set which is not only with the couple of a front seat and goes out also with a friend. the inside of the minivehicle of Suzuki -- most -- torque -- セルボ SR which carries a full engine. Although a base is the same direct injection turbo (DI) engine as RR grade of Wagon R, combine with CVT enough and the device which changing a 燃 pressure pump into a variable type etc. is based on a time, and raises fuel consumption and exhaust gas performance is given. The combination of this DI engine and CVT is the first in Japan (Audi A4 in which the first in the world appeared previously by the slim margin), and very congenial anyhow. No matter where it may step on from, how for power to be attached is good and a roar peculiar to CVT also has them. [ few ] It is the only green-auto-tax application in a 軽 turboengine car, and fuel consumption is イイ, that is, a big charm from NA. Although it is a valve of the developer of Suzuki with "the feeling delicious during a diet which is carrying out thing patience is disagreeable", at least it is touch called イイトコ picking. Of course all over a town, a little sport run of winding etc. can also run happily, thanks to CVT which continues choosing a delicious place with the powerful torque from a low rotation region. SR(s) are diameter[ of a large ]-izing (18->20mm) of front Strutt's diameter of a rod, optimization of damping force, adoption of a newly developed tire, etc., and have realized a pliant degree of comfort. In part, when セルボ before improvement carried out the run to attack, there was also a little unstable scene, but SR is the increase of a feeling of the hold of a road surface, and the thing which settled down as for the posture at the time of a cornering. Since direction of a car came to change, being sticky with ググッ, he feels easy, and the accelerator can be stepped on and it can die. Incidentally, improvement is performed about other grades and axle part offers the more comfortable run. The level of the run of the whole セルボ series went up by the appearance of SR. According to change of axle part, change is added also to power steering. Feer of electric パワステ became more natural by the favor. How depending on which direction of a car changes becomes a thing adapted to the feeling of the driver, and road surface trace nature is also improving. Unlike a sport grade called RR which Suzuki rather put on the peak of a run, it is SR grade which aimed at the best of the city sport to the last. Matching of DI engine and CVT is also good, and if 7 速 MT mode is chosen, it can run about more briskly with the feeling which suited itself more. So, I want to come to require wearing of a パドル shift. A feeling of rigidity is so strong that 軽 cannot be considered, and the high sheet of support nature is also charm. Even if he goes out for the longed live, pain is not felt at all. The cargo space of a margin for the backseat sheet which becomes a full flat to produce is also a delightful place. What liking is likely to be divided into designs. It is collected by the design which does not assert an aero part too much, either, and although the place adhering to the keyword that it is high-quality strictly is good, it is thought that possibly extrusion could be individually strong to a slight degree. Incidentally two colors of a spark black pearl and a mysterious violet pearl are carrying out the Shintou place of the body color.

Why was naming of Corolla entitled? Although voice is also likely to be very heard, it will be convinced if it rides. The usage easy which is the tradition of Corolla carries out there, and is full of こ. "Is it the big brother part appearance of bB!?" The design to the extent that he wants to come to say that it is square was finished in カタチ which makes Founder bB dim even when it is disagreeable. However, it is a thing [ more ] and ルミオンs are North American new style Psion XB (a predecessor is Founder bB in Japan), and the model developed jointly. From the predecessor bB user of the opinion that he wants the width of power and a load room from an American user to a slight degree to the 2nd generation in a full model change, and Japan "the original design of the new model bB has resistance. I want a car like Founder bB! The voice " was going up. It is the circumstances of the Corolla ルミオン birth that they became the talk ? if the 3rd following Fielder of the sedan and wagon which were planned from the time of だった et al. and the 10th generation Corolla appearing agrees and they should just make the both voice. It is said that it is a reason that having attached the name of Corolla wanted the car by which the thing of a concept different [ some ] rejuvenates the image of to have wanted and Corolla which the age group went up too much when saying clearly to the 3rd set of the Corolla series in spite of being a オーリス base. The concept considered as that for which Corolla which a young man takes is asked is "a relaxation." What the design thinly made as glass area was pushed with ギュッ was made so that it might understand even if seen from outside is what came from the purpose of taking out the relaxed feeling which does not care about a surrounding eye but can relax in inside. Although the interior of a room which surely was extensive can be relaxed enough, the waist line is high considerably by favor. When lowering a 1 morecm waist line, in spite of not having been caught in auxiliary mirror regulation, it adheres to the ratio of this body and a glass portion. Though regrettable, since it will come to the position where meter is ensconced at hand and A pillar wears to もろ at a corner if a front is seen, with 161.5cm my height, some are a little [ in field of view ] severe. Since it seemingly is not so much worrisome if it is incidentally a Japanese male, Americans will completely be no pro Bourem. It carried a full load of the play heart so that interior design might relax and he could enjoy himself. Since, as for the meter located in a line with 4 連 center layout, and ポケッテリア prepared abundantly, all are larger, storage power is quite high. Practicality and design nature serve splendidly, and it equips and says. Although it mentioned above that the base platform of ルミオン was Ore Rith, as for the power train system, the thing of Corolla is followed firmly. Displacement volume is 1.5l. and 1.8l. Transmission called super CVT-i is put there together. incidentally -- present [ of the 2nd generation ] -- I will hear that the quota is exactly made also around here since bB(s) are 1.3l. and 1.5l. 1.5l. is enough if it says that there is no difference to the extent that he is surprised at 1.5l. and 1.8l., although it cannot be overemphasized that it is [ that it is / way / power / 1.8l. truly ] generous, or it uses, riding ordinarily. Since the little shock at the time of the roar sound of CVT or a downshift is worrisome at the time of the high-speed longed live, generous 1.8l. is オススメ(ed), but 1.5l. is enough if it is ordinary town riding. Although there is incidentally also a grade equipped with the パドル shift in a 1.8l. model, unless it changes a gate to MT, a little regrettable place cannot operate it. It is more convenient to already have stretched and to have been able to operate it as it is to use engine braking suddenly. The run has not carried out モッサリ like 1BOX minivan, either, and is not brisk like the sporty compact car. It is a car of the riding taste as カタチ very much. Conversely, the place finished to the feeling which can ride automatically is a point of ルミオン, so that the size or form of a body are not given. Just this is just relaxed. Furthermore, although ESP which can ride in comfort is prepared as the option, it will be what the thing in which intervention is a little early also considers the character of a car for. He has a feeling with a little softer 1.5l. in degree of comfort. The hardness of a tire is somewhat worrisome when it equips with the 16-inch tire by which especially an option setup is carried out. ステアフィール is clearly different. Although 1.5l. is very smooth, although it is a little as heavier as 1.8l. was said to the woman with a grinding sound, their feeling of a response when cutting is thin. Brake Feer has high control nature at touch with equal both. when square カタチ is seen, it is a car on which many loads can be put -- I tend to think ? -- ルミオン is but made as a car of crew member priority to the last. Also in not having used a front seat as the bench seat, either, this is a reason. If a gearshift is brought to the position from which the hand was taken down automatically, it will become an instrument panel shift, and if it is made a bench seat, it will become the halfway thing which scooped out the portion. If it is right, it is selection of being separate. Even if it makes it a backseat, a slide is only an advance, without carrying out. However, it is イイ that the part backseat is made very greatly. A margin is in the upper backrest portion from the shoulder considerably to the extent that he will think whether to come out to the head if it ヘタ not to mention the shoulder will not come out from a backrest, if I sit down. I want to also observe the accessory case under a backseat bearing surface. Although the thing with height seldom enters, it can also be said that a thing not to be seen when putting in what is not used usually and also leaving a car just for a moment is thrown in here, and it prevents a vehicle top aim. He is a very much convenient thing. Toyota Corolla ルミオン 1.8S aero ツアラー ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/toyota_corolla_18s_aero_1.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/toyota_corolla_18s_aero_1.html Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:20:39 +0900 the new model A4 said to have been markedly alike and to have had the high sport performance by adoption of the new platform which makes front load small. It was made to get Mr. Kazuo Shimizu to check the performance. As for the new model A4 which becomes the third generation after A4 of the founder is born, the establishment meter of the platform is carried out. The segment leader with which these A4 belongs is three series of BMW. Quick handling considers the secret of popularity, and Audi. Then, Audi set about a bold reform so that FR premium of Mercedes or BMW might not be lost. Although it was Audi which developed クワトロ every symmetrical length until now based on FF layout, it came to take out transfer ahead from the side of the gear box at last. The tire was enabled to move ahead by this change, and it has had weight distribution and influence good for a style. The suspension was also improved sharply and the ultimate suspension compatible at a high dimension has completed a degree of comfort and dynamics. The spirit of innovation of Audi is not only it. Full use of electronic control was made and the mechanism which made quick nature of a suspension and a steering variable is also put in practical use. This opposes the active steering of BMW3 series. Like three series of a rival or the Mercedes C class, the 1825mm wide body over 1.8m gives, and the width of a body is らている. therefore -- or -- it would become the feeling of 車格 beyond a class, and will not change in the A6 [ present ] and indoor width. That is, A4 is large, so that A6 is made into a rival. By the style, since the front tire moved ahead, the tire became a style which is conscious of sporty FR arranged in the four corners. Isn't this a big advance on a design? Furthermore, Audi has the big feature in a front mask. Although the mask which is called a single frame and which was greatly vacant in the mouth goes in the direction where intellect is opposite in the worst-case scenario easily, it is the favor of the design refined to the details of the whole form, and the dignity and intellect of Audi are increasing increasingly. The merit of the elegance appropriate for Audi drifts to interior design. It is not so traditional as Mercedes and she is not so sporty as BMW. That is, it has succeeded in making atmosphere for a just right high-quality family car. Although the cockpit was a modern design, MMI (multimedia interface) with which the car navigation of boast etc. was unified is refined further, and its ease of using is increasing until now. It is also glad that the function (only 3.2l.) in which hardness, the steering characteristic, etc. of a suspension are replaceable is equipped as a function to assist a run. Although he can think that there is almost nothing about a meaning in the speed domain in Japan, it is a function effective for changing the run taste. The body to which it is flexibly cured like a luxury car and such various needs can be fulfilled to ride when you want to run like a sports car. Safety is one of the items of boast of the new model A4. Weight was calculated in the crew member's seating position, and it has succeeded in controlling the output of an air bag. The size of a crew member's body is not asked now, but the output of an always ideal air bag can be secured. It is proving that safety belongs only to neither Mercedes nor AB Volvo. A loading engine introduces two types (1.8l. and 3.2l.) into Japan. The mechanism of the same direct injection in a pipe as a diesel engine is adopted by both. Incidentally by Audi, the direct-injection engine of natural aspiration is entitled "FSI." 3.2l. was called FSI. 1.8l. of names of TFSI are attached. This is because it is the combination of a direct-injection engine and a turbo. Although it is the 1.8l. engine, the merit of the affinity of a direct-injection engine and a turbo was employed efficiently, and coexistence of good fuel consumption and high output is realized. It is an engine which deserves attention. Missions are also playing a role in the good fuel consumption of a 1.8l. vehicle. Infinitely variable CVT original with Audi is adopted. The place where the metal chain is used is the feature, and this CVT can be used also for the engine of big torque. However, actual user-friendliness somewhat lacks in a direct feeling compared with a torque converter AT or DSG, and may be non-well-matched just for a moment at the sporty run appropriate for Audi. On the other hand, a 3.2l. V type 6-cylinder FSI engine-loading vehicle is equipped with クワトロ of full time AWD. Since a gear box is combined with 6 速 torque converter AT, skilled [ of the smooth and forcible run ] can be carried out, and it makes the premium riding taste taste. Torque distribution in front and behind and weight distribution were optimized more compared with before, and the degree of sportiness of a run [ an AWD system ] was increasing.

Although it is the impression which textures raised further compared with a predecessor, it is said that the run shows the big improvement above all. It is a little just going to be worrisome. Smart who appeared in 1997. Because the attention in the world was attracted from the time of the concept car, the impact at that time was serious. It is that sale was started in Japan in December, 2000 three years after the. And it has become the center of attention from last year suddenly in urban areas, such as advance, Los Angeles, and NY and Chicago, also in the North America market. Such Smart became the first full model change. To じつ, the contents are Europe-like and are ripening contents without a dramatic change of appearance. But because the concept is solid, change may carry out this car and it may not have a way. I hear that the completeness of a basic frame is so high. Some newness was still poured into new style Smart. The body in which it is not impressed though a size rise is carried out, the 1l. newly developed 3-cylinder engine, AT with 5 速 manual mode to which the shift change became smooth, etc. By them, amenity and the movement performance have evolved clearly. Smart is chosen as the permanent collection of Museum of Modern Art, New York "MoMA" although it may seldom be known. The design of a style and a detail with high functionality was evaluated and elected. In the meaning, even if there is owner who decorates the garage as one object purely, there is no wonder. such a background -- it is -- the new model appeared by the keeping concept. The full length extended by about 180mm was changed by the circumference of a body. Expansion of the body was performed in order to increase improvement in amenity, and collision safety. It is a minimum measure for corresponding to the safe regulation which becomes severe worldwide every year. There is also desire to be earnest and sell smart フォーツー at the United States simultaneously. Also for the reason, Space Up in the car was indispensable. What he was most surprised to to sit on new style Smart's dry バーズ sheet may be design change of a dashboard. It is because the high-class feeling was equipped so that it was unexpected. If the impression is expressed at a word, it will be change with "chic" from "pop." The capacity whose ラゲッジ was 150l. conventionally is expanded to 220l. A tail gate is the same up-and-down halving type as the former. It is because a place is not taken in case of this system at the time of opening and closing. A lower lid hides the back side and the device of using as (?) storage space is given. A passenger seat can be utilized, when a seat back will become a flat and will load a long thing from ラゲッジ, if it pushes down in front. It is impressed in the height of the rationality of this neighborhood. Although it is the amenity of a dry バーズ sheet, even if 180cm I sit down as usual, there is no formality. If it is operating for a while, he will forget that the car which I myself am operating is smart, and it is the shortness of リア when turning round, and is touch that it comes to self. The power train containing an engine wants to observe most by new style Smart. As for the newly developed 1l. 3 cylinder engine made from all aluminum, the Max power is 71ps. Considering conventional 700 cc and 61ps, it becomes about 10 ps rise. if it incidentally considers that the horsepower outputs of the ブラバス specification which carries a turbo those days were 75ps -- a new model -- the チューンド engine average -- パワート -- 。 When actually run, he was surprised at that which the response to an accelerator says beyond anticipation from a low speed first. It seems that a displacement volume rise also has many benefits of variable valve control with last thing. This mechanism is useful also for 省燃費 at the same time it raises combustor efficiency and receives a response. Newly stacked AT with 5 速 manual mode is also good. the shock at the time of the gear which was the greatest conventional smart weak point -- completely -- と -- it was lost, so that you could say. Furthermore, vibration including pitching is also reduced and it has become the run which has admiration gently. In addition, the roll at the time of a high speed was also suppressed, and the fan run was able to be enjoyed. Seemingly if smart, it is Mercedes's member, and it is always told also about safety. The "Tori Dion safety cell" which is adopted from the former and which takes care of a crew member as firm husks is reinforced further, and an effort to conquer the fault of being hard to prepare a crumple zone in body size is made. Now, the smart lineup which temporarily suited the expansion route also became this フォー two coupe and フォーツーカブリオ by this full model change. Both power trains are one grades and both become only a right-hand drive in Japan. In this trial ride, it carried out skilled [ of the カブリオ ]. It is pleasant that a roof can be opened and closed with one switch during a run. Of course, if generous, a ディタッチャブル roof frame will be removed and it will be made full open. Considering the point, the predominancy of カブリオ is high. Although the price is 2,050,000 yen higher about 300,000 yen than 1,760,000 yen of a coupe, I feel that it is called a good match for it to think with an inexpensive feeling.

Although I hear that the height of the completeness was supported by many users, can it say that a wagon is also the same? The performance was checked focusing on C200 compressor avant-garde. Seemingly in fact as an in porter, although good sales are continued and home sales have been the Mercedes Benz C classes which have already broken through a total of 11,000 sets since the appearance in June, last year, it is dissatisfaction still more. Then, that expectation is applied is C class wagon newly added to lineup. Because it says that about twenty percent of sale of C class was formed in the predecessor, naturally the reason for expectation is not only it but that the addition of the number can be expected. In fact, it is because the user layer is rejuvenated with his 30-40's and グッ to the number of the centers of C Klas Sedan being 40-50 and the change ratio from other brands moreover reaches also to 60 percent. Of course, the degree of attention is high also for a general [ us ] user. For the young user layer which began to get interested in C class by the type-of-a-car deployment set focusing on the avant-garde of a sporty design, and the run which emphasized horse mackerel リティ (= quick nature),It is because some will greatly still thin surely if they are a station wagon if it is a sedan, hesitation, i.e., the image of being casually missing, of getting Mercedes who will remain. A highlight is a style first. The new model has started the angle in consideration of practicality to the predecessor model having thought fashionability as important and having put the rear gate to sleep strongly. However, the side view is not the aloof thing which gave priority only to practicality, and is a sharp and sporty atmosphere like a sedan. It is a point on a design to show the load room portion compactly because an arch-like roof falls gently-sloping toward back to the waist line which rose. Too, it rises in front fender back and the character line in which the taillight carried out the kick rise by the way as well as a sedan is playing a role in the production of a feeling of a lively motion. Although the angle of the rear gate is started to be sure, stylishness is never spoiled. Even the predecessor user charmed by appearance if it was this does not waver to a change. 450l. from which ラゲッジ capacity also usually increases by 20 of a predecessorl. by the time with the body size slightly enlarged with 30mm with 40mm and full at full length. Where a rear sheet is toppled, 1465l., the increase of 151 l., is secured very much. This figure far exceeds rivals, such as a BMW3 series touring and Audi A4 アバント. Moreover, the point which it pulls for eyes that it is not only large, but the rear sheet became foldable only by pushing down with back rest near at hand from the conventional double folding type. If capacity is pursued, it is at an advantage in a double folding type, but this one is easier for treatment, and while holding the load etc. especially in one hand, it is positively found useful. It is finished on the full-scale wagon which is not as stage properties for directing a life style, and is advertized also to the user that they will actually use carrying a full load of people or a load. Although lineup applies to a sedan correspondingly fundamentally,V Only C300 which carries a type 6 cylinders 3l. unit is not prepared for a station wagon, but an engine serves as 2.5l. of 6-cylinder V models of C250, and double-feature of the serial 4 cylinders 1.8l. supercharger of C200 compressor. Especially, C200 compressor avant-garde is regarded as a popular model, and this is this trial ride vehicle. Although 車重 is increasing about 60kg compared with a sedan, most power performances are equal. although the time of zero start etc. is also felt like [ so that weight may be felt for a mere instant after breaking in an accelerator until a car actually begins to move ] -- a difference -- to that extent . When having begun to run, practical torque was demonstrated by the favor of the supercharger which demonstrates the 過給 effect from a low-speed region, and, of course in one-person entrainment, it did not feel powerless by three-person entrainment, either. engine Feer -- high-quality -- even when -- V type -- although the direction of 6 cylinders excels, if it becomes most to load people and a load and to use on the inside of a town or a general way, it will be like [ to choose as here positively rather ]. Generally, in a sedan and a station wagon, it rides from 車重 and the difference of body rigidity, and a difference arises in a taste. Although this C class wagon is not that exception, either, that difference is small noisily. First, a degree of comfort. The station wagon is a little harder a little too. It is because the suspension of リア is hardened slightly in consideration of loading a heavy load in the second half of a body according to the increase of weight of a part. Handling also gives the weight of リア. Moreover, the noise which invades from back during a run was also felt large a little. This can be said only to the wagon which does not have a partition behind a rear sheet unlike a sedan as what is not avoided as for a certain grade. However, only this one set rides and it is not a hard thing which is impressed heavy with it being noisy. Each of all elements, such as a style, user-friendliness, and a run, is materialized at the high dimension. Not only those that are examining the wagon of this class but the man of a sedan aim is one set of the value ant of a glimpse.

A ? exterior, interior design, and run performance are thoroughly verified for where changed which. The 3rd generation Mazda Motor MPV which has attracted attention as a high-quality minivan with which the adult has relaxed since it was put on the market in 2006. By the minor change on the theme of the evolution and the improvement in textures in power performance, atmosphere has been changed entirely. chromium plating being treated by the front grille, the bumper opening, and the rear hatch portion, and being connected with the line which they apply to a van パーロア opening from A pillar,The vision effect of showing the center of gravity widely low has been acquired, and it has evolved into the sporty and dynamic countenance. moreover, the 18-inch aluminum wheel which used as the motif "Nagare (dropping off)" which is a design theme of Mazda Motor with which upper specification is equipped is soft from the conventional ゴツ い design -- みのある -- it is changed into the thing. A body color is a method of a prejudice which it is chic, and nine calm colors are set up, and is called fresh color in 5 of them colors. Although it is a minor change, the strong thought of Mazda Motor to this model is transmitted in view of the point that large change is given. Although two kinds of interior colors, black with interior design chic as usual and beige, are prepared, beige is that the floor mat was changed into the same color, and in the car has changed to the impression which gave a feeling of a spread brightly. The sheet of beige serves as a soft cut of a suede touch to the black of a sheet outer skin being a thick firm type. Furthermore, the leather sheet of beige is adopted as L package newly set up this time, and it is playing a role also in the production of a suitable high-quality atmosphere in the highest-class minivan of Mazda Motor. Can also see the comfortable nature of the 2nd row sheet and it cannot be missed. The amount of slides of a super relaxed sheet (option) is lengthened 80mm back, and room is given at a crew member's feet. Moreover, the horizontal slide function in which it was only left-hand side until now is added also to the right-hand side sheet. Adoption of the "nanoe" ion generating equipment of excelling the anion in the pure effect is also a selling point. By disinfection, deodorization, and the antivirotic effect, air in the car is kept clean, and it is a function delightful to a woman. Although 2.3l. NA engine and the direct injection turboengine are prepared for MPV, what was test-ridden this time is L package of 23T which carries a 2.3l. direct injection turboengine. This engine is not an exception, either, although a direct injection turboengine is reconciling environmental performance and forcible power performance and attention is attracted to the world target. A four standard emission gas star clearance and 15% of the fuel consumption standard in the Heisei 22 fiscal year will be attained in Heisei 17 with the strong man who generates about the same large torque as a 3.5l. engine with 2.3l., and green auto tax is supported. In the trial ride, when it ran 540km distance to the run of Tomei Expressway and a general way supposing the long-distance drive for one night and two days, a result of 8.7km per liter was brought with practical use fuel consumption. Although it was run Feer to worry, since it was called direct injection, the accelerator stepped on and good that it can blow going up of a response was shown to help. It is the feeling from which ジワー っ and forcibleness are obtained like a large displacement volume NA engine, without it seeming that disorder of a common posture is felt the moment a turbo begins to be effective. I will hear that that change is most felt by this minor change has arrived at the region of maturing of axle part. By the attachment rigidity of the suspension having been increased, it reacts linearly from the start of the steering end, and the tip of the nose changes direction obediently with スッ. Especially about a motion of リア, he feels easy about 舵角 of a steering with slight looseness towards the exit of a corner, and steps on and arranges an accelerator. A posture is prepared firmly. Moreover, it is also glad that a flat degree of comfort is acquired without its eyes blurring in a cornering. However, it is a problem of visibility that it is worrisome one. Since the sheet big in order to obtain a crew member's comfortable nature to a backseat is adopted, the headrest and the backrest have interrupted rearward visibility. I want to オススメ following Nabih having the front, side, and rear view monitor which become an option setup in such a meaning. By this trial ride, it was realizable that reexamination of fine portions, such as improvement of axle part and improvement in comfortable nature, shows the result certainly. Compared with the minor change front, the run and sense of security which have a direct feeling more could be enjoyed, and, as for the driver, the fellow passenger was also able to get the merit of the further degree of comfort, and comfortable space. It could be said that it became a minivan without spare time. Although 23T which is a trial ride vehicle had equipped with an 18-inch tire, the balance of the quick nature and a degree of comfort beyond the domain of the minivan was excellent. The point was able to have especially a favorable impression. the power rear gate which even the leather sheet and switch with which it is full of the high-class feeling of L package can come out of, open and close also has the feeling of a reception as an upper model -- many -- it can evaluate. Incidentally this specification was not prepared for a predecessor. Wasn't there any fuel consumption meter, if it dared have described the complaint, although it was new style MPV which had an agreeable impression in all? MPV23T L package ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/mpv23t_l_package.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/mpv23t_l_package.html Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:19:41 +0900 Peugeot SW which says that it made practicality and comfortable nature match splendidly. How does the Takeoka reporter look at the time as a matter of fact? I will make it have you show up in a car instantly. 207 SW, if it says quickly, it will be a wagon of 207. Although it becomes the series lineup following a hatchback and CC, a characteristic mask and a design identity are inherited and it is only larger [ +120mm in full length, and +40mm of all the quantities ] also in size than a hatchback. 1.6l. of models introduced into Japan are two grades of SW of NA, and GTi of a 1.6l. turbo, and, as for the price, the minimum price of the handy feeling is 2,690,000 yen. It is because the Peugeot user has data of 18% from 17% from 65% and Peugeot, and other import vehicles in the change from a domestic car and competition with a domestic car is expected. But the wagon of this class does not have the energy in a market. Even if it sees by 206, it is a rate called SW15% and CC12% hatchback 73% in 02 to 06 years. Probably, I want to count on 207SW handy also in size by a vivid rear design. If it is called a wagon, the design of リア is just going to be worrisome too. The large-sized rear window turned and crowded to the side is what imagined 矢羽, and feels the active motion. A roof rail is also a high product made from aluminum of design nature, and it is でわ if it is the France vehicle sensitive to オシャレ. The front seat is the same thing as a hatchback that has a backseat but original with SW fundamentally. The margin is made to the circumference of a knee by raising movement and a bearing surface for a sheet position 20mm to 15mm back. A パノラミック glass roof with an area of about 1.1 sq m is also likable. invigoration -- it is greatest. Since it is special processing glass which cuts about 99% of ultraviolet rays, and about 86% of infrared rays, there are also no worries about suntan. Electric サンシェード which can be opened and closed in about 10 seconds is convenient to come to avoid sunlight suddenly. And an opening-and-closing switch is equipped near the emergency brake of a center console, and it can be operated even from a backseat. It is consideration of the France vehicle no one but which respects not only appearance but functionality. As for the power train, the completely same thing as 207 hatchbacks or CC is adopted fundamentally. Although 1.6l. of these trial rides became only 4AT model of NA, the timing and the shock in variable speed of a shift have the improved admiration. The feeling of ギクシャク felt with 207 hatchbacks of the time of sale was wiped away fairly. An engine is a thing of BMW and joint development and is the same as what is carried in the mini. The place which can feel direct the power which cannot be considered is charm in 1.6l. Although GTi was not able to ride this time, it is what supplied racing spirit to the life style wagon. A roof rail is lost also in appearance, instead it is equipped with the rear spoiler. I hear that 17 inches also with a tire big 1 inch are carried out in 履, and a more aggressive run is enjoyed. As for a suspension, in a front, マクファーションストラット and リア adopt a torsion beam. Other friends and forms serve as Cheung only for SW in consideration of stacking the same overhang that became long but, and many loads, and running. By favor, it could run through winding, feeling a sense of togetherness, and handling was also very natural. Although a degree of comfort does not seem to have an appearance lever in data, it was thought that it was sticky from a hatchback. It will be because it considers putting a load. The height of consideration of a safe side is also a thing firm like other 207 series. The impact-absorbing shock absorber which enters between a rear chassis and an impact beam is only for SW, and no less than six air bags are preinstalled. However, there is also a place I want you to improve. The level difference of each pedal is large. It will care about a driving position from a Japanese woman's physique. It is a ラゲッジ space at the time of five-person entrainment, and it becomes 1258l. in the time of pushing down 337l. and a backseat on full. Although it is never a large space as a wagon, it will be made required and is the place of being enough. Incidentally, the cargo spaces of 206SW are a minimum of 313l. and a maximum of 1138l., and 207 hatchbacks are a minimum of 270l. and a maximum of 923l. The sheet arrangement has structure which a rear sheet falls a bearing surface by one action, and can be folded into a flat. It is convenient too that it can be operated in a domestic car, with a headrest stuck although it is already natural. Furthermore, the independent opening-and-closing type rear gate glass which can open and close only a glass hatch has high convenience. It is very convenient for stacking a load in a narrow place just for a moment. Rear パーセル シェルフ of 3 division chip box tatami type is also carried out, and it is a loan. A load can be accessed [ hatch / glass ] also from a rear sheet. That is, the ease of using as a short wagon is stuffed into 207SW with ギュッ. Peugeot 207SW ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/peugeot_207sw.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/peugeot_207sw.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:58:39 +0900 Now, it is said that about 40 percent of a car dealer of Japan is a minivehicle. It is Wagon R that popular ability is the yokozuna class in it. Although the full model change was performed in September, a place [ it worries the way of the evolution ]. It test-rides instantly. In 1993, the innovative model and it which established a new genre called expression and height wagon 軽 like the comet on the minivehicle community will be Wagon R. A square high roof and square high standardful of a body, surprising large space, and a sheet were equipped with functions, such as one-touch double folding, and it made a smashing success in an instant. The wagon R underwent the full model change into the 4th generation at last in September, 2008. They renew a platform, making appearance and functionality into a keeping concept. An exterior design prepares two types of the スティン gray clothed in Wagon R and the skeleton part of the standard which inherited the traditional vertical light. Although just form of an engine is the same, the turbo of NA of 54ps and 64ps is improved. Missions set up 5MT, 4AT, and CVT, and CVT with 7 速 manual shift manipulated in a パドル shift is carried in the turbo model of スティン gray. having made the immobilizer and the blowout repair kit into the standard on all the cars in respect of equipment, and also becoming a keyless push start except basic 2 grades -- the first cornering lamp corresponding to a 舵角 sensor in a minivehicle as an option -- loading It is having renewed the platform (a front's using with new development and a rear は palette in common correctly), and a wheel base expands further 2400 predecessor ratio +40mmmm and indoor length to +105mm 1975mm. Floor quantity is also 345mm low 30mm, and extensive 々室内 which is a big charm of Wagon R has accomplished grand evolution. A rear sheet step does not have a level difference of a center tunnel, it is a flat, and the distance with a front seat crew member is +140mm 985mm. This hit also contributes to the amenity rise. A design is having made it go around [ a bonnet tip ] etc., and its feeling of volume of the front mask increased. In metallic grill and スティン gray, Wagon R adopts a skeleton chromium grill. A headlight is also larger, a long ツリ eye type is horizontally adopted as Wagon R for the almond type light which reaches to a fender at スティン gray, and a character division is also a cinch. Moreover, intonation is attached to a side panel, a cubic effect is taken out, and an overall textures rise is also realized. However, it has left the tradition of the wagons R inclining forward, such as a wedge roof, and although it turns out to be Wagon R even if who looks at it, it serves as an exquisite design with new all. In it going indoors and being able to feel actually immediately, textures have risen with Gun by the プラック panel, a silver ornament, etc. The point which changed a lot is that became a functional instrument panel shift from the column shift to a predecessor, and the keyless push start button was equipped more than the middle grade. The multi-display as which it is a legible spontaneous light type, and a fuel consumption meter etc. is displayed regardless of [ 昼夜 ] meter is also equipped. When it becomes a turbo model of スティン gray, it is the impression which a パドル shift and automatic writing were also equipped standardly and was upgraded on the whole. Moreover, storage, such as an instrument panel box with a lid and an overhead console, also gathers abundantly as well as the sheet under box of the tradition from the founder. And having evolved further are amenity and getting-on-and-off nature. After the rear sheet in which a right-and-left independent reclining & slide is possible is enlarged, the amount of slides is also raised 25mm. Although a door is not a 90-degree difference, the level difference of an opening step is about 0, and getting on and off from a low floor is very smooth. Of course, traditional one-touch double folding and ラゲッジ vast in a flat are also living. When it rode and the new model was compared with the predecessor, the difference was large more than imagination. Acceleration of NA model is smooth from the stage of start first. This is having optimized cooling nature and an air intake system with the newly developed cylinder head, and low-speed torque raises it. Ripe 4AT and ripe CVT are congenial, and have realized acceleration which is extended with Sour Sour. If it is this, stress is not felt at all by the stop & go in a town. Fuel consumption is also top class in liter 23.0km and height wagon 軽 at a CVT model. Moreover, a turbo model announces smooth and the run whose punch was effective, applying a ring to NA. making a turbocharger new -- high supplemental payment -- it has upgraded with having got pressure to 64ps which is equal to the direct injection turbo to a predecessor. In スティン gray, the pleasure manipulated especially free at CVT with 7 速 manual shift is also likely to be added, and it rides on the Almighty from a high speed to winding. Moreover, the newly developed front suspension and the improved rear suspension are begun, there are also efforts for 液封-izing of engine mount, expansion of a dash silencer, etc., and, in addition to the sense of stability and suppleness which were made into ガッチリ, silence is also raised. Although each latest minivehicle is brilliant completeness and it thought that the big difference was lost, the 4th generation wagon R of this is the true performance which shows "a king's temper" also in it. Newness and tradition are exquisite サジ degrees and a design takes off its hat also to having extended further the interior of a room which was large enough also as for the predecessor. Moreover, seemingly it is also just going to be a new model to have wiped away the cheaper feeling of the interior design which was a weak point, and to have polished up the run of NA model. It is grade composition to feel change of a time. Although various variations may be added from now on, at present, it is only two, the standard wagon R and スティン gray, and the difference is clear when equipment is seen. For those who want to ride reasonably by equipment of there there as usual, it is bipolarized with スティン gray Wagon R and for those who want to ride by full gear even when it is slightly expensive conversely. Here, the correspondence to downsizing from an upper model and the formation of a first car of a minivehicle can be nursed and taken. The result which has already exceeded the frame of a minivehicle even if were seen from outside and it actually rode. It is one set I want even a family user to ride like crazy from a young layer. Suzuki Wagon R ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/suzuki_wagon_r.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/suzuki_wagon_r.html Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:44:28 +0900 The car by which STI performed full チューン based on legacy B4 is S402. I get it to test-ride ? motor journalist Hitoshi Sezai whether you give the further brightness to the Subaru brand which celebrated the 50th anniversary by the end of this year. From the スバルテクニカ International "STI" which is a motor sports special company of Subaru, the limited model S402 which gave exclusive Cheung based on a legacy wagon and legacy B4 came out. While evolving the merit [ a base vehicle ] of a run further, it is said that the "ultimate grand touring car" which also has the outstanding comfortable nature was made into the development theme. Gray of black and deep め is made into the keynote of an interior color as a prejudice to a grown-up performance car, and an exclusive leather material is used for a sheet outer skin. While the sheet itself extends a bearing surface by 30mm, the cushion material is also pursuing the merit of comfortableness using low rebounding urethane. In an exterior, the front fender for exclusive use which it expanded 20mm of right and left at a time for 18-inch wide tire wearing, the under skirt made from carbon, and the 18-inch forge aluminum wheel made from BBS attract attention. However, I think that the whole feeling of volume could raise more that it could do. The direction of it is because the presence as a model only for STI is more appealable. Although a smooth 2.5l. turboengine was newly added by 08 year model of legacy, it was only the out back's adoption at the regrettable thing. And a limited sale. That engine is thrown into these S402 this time. Although a 2.5l. turboengine was not adopted as the sedan B4 of a main stream, and the wagon but the question was felt for lineup being carried out to S402, the development person in charge got to know someone, and the question was able to be solved immediately. A boss of the experiment part, Tatsumi, who was developing each vehicles of Subaru in the Nuerburgring circuit in Germany transferred to STI last year, and he was in charge of vehicles development of STI. STI is realizing in lineup the tuning which was not completed in the catalog model of Subaru under Tatsumi as this S series like the relation called M company to AMGBMW to a vent. Probably, a 2.5l. turboengine will be good although it was preserved by eye others. and this engine was looked like [ the delightful thing ] and has evolved from the out back loading unit further. By adopting a piston for exclusive use, a twin scroll turbo, ECU, and an exhaust system, power was raised 20 ps and torque is raised 10% or more. Furthermore, maximum torque generating rotation is marked in the range as broad as 2000-4800rpm to 2400rpm of a base unit. If it rides, the effect can feel immediately. a clutch meat is very easy -- torque -- a full engine can be enjoyed fully. It is preeminent for the merit of relation when bringing forward on a high gear and putting in a little early especially, and is the ease of treatment which is on the natural aspiration engine of large displacement volume. a high gear -- トロトロ 走る -- things do not become pain at all, either, also when making it accelerate if compelled, thanks to a tenacious engine, ひ is estimated, it comes out and グイグイ speed is gathered. This direct feeling cannot be tasted by AT. A setup of only 6 速 MT could be called selection which was just to the point. In addition to the Bill Stein shock for exclusive use and adoption of a spring, the suspension shows the prejudice to the portion which is not visible to an eye, such as adding reinforcement of the circumference of various bushes or a body. Though it was the cause and a profound riding taste, it was touch that it also had a light heart of a legacy no one but. When attacking winding, while there is a light heart by which a front goes into グイグイ and a corner on the piece square of a steering faithfully, to where, the responses and the feeling of a grip at the time of a cornering are ジワジワ and the touch going up, and give sense of security to those who ride. Seemingly it is the suspension to which Tatsumi who got to know all the road surface situations of the Nuerburgring circuit of moreover changing quickly by the leading high speed in the world and high load adhered, and the back deep tuning which does not raise sound easily even if it attacks is given. Road surface flattery nature is so good that it does not seem to have equipped with the tire as big as 18 inches very much even if it encounters the rough road surface, and since vibration is also absorbed firmly, the body is always maintaining a feeling of a flat. The ease of riding in the inside of the town of S402 is the same feeling as having suppleness without Kad in town riding, although many cars in Europe are excellent in high-speed stability or the handling performance. Although the brake had also adopted a large-sized carry par and a large-sized rotor which produce an obviously powerful braking effort, the touch had the tenderness which reacts with ジワッ from the first stage also in a town riding range. Since it is not a car which runs a circuit, it can say that it is exaggerated in size, and the prejudice to this car of a developer is felt also for such a place. The base model has arrived at the region of completion only at the legacy which is already seeing a full model change year. The ultimate figure in which it tried ! and all possible means for the still in addition more good model is these S402. Making the serious car of Subaru and the prejudice not flaging and through which it runs and passes could say that this car was made through STI. So, although it thinks that a suitable premium car will be made into the peak of Subaru if there is an exclusive body in the meaning of ホント to be regretted although it can fully be convinced also to this price that exceeds 5 million yen, how is it? Subaru Legacy S402 Sedan ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/subaru_legacy_s402_sedan.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/subaru_legacy_s402_sedan.html Sun, 28 Dec 2008 12:00:30 +0900 ムーヴ which aimed at the niche layer on the theme of merit" of comfortableness Conte. Probably, the raison d'etre of this car that extracted the customer target simply just because it was the times which the needs for a car diversify will be large. What is called a multi-wagon called space system forms about 70 percent of the sales number of the present minivehicle. Although ムーヴ in the inside of it is the popular model which appeared subsequently to minicar トッポ and Wagon R, as for the present ムーヴ, a one motion form is adopted, and, seemingly, the user whose square ムーヴ of the predecessor was a favorite has some resistance. then, the brother type of a car of ムーヴ -- "カクカクシカジカ -- it will appear in a ボクシィ style as CM square ムーヴ Shintou place." Furthermore, there are the one more purposes in this style. I hear that it is advertized to a young layer. According to the data of Daihatsu Motor, seemingly it averages to young and old of both sexes, and the thing with the high degree of appeal has a result of a square body. Then, it is ワケ that the car which incorporated "space it is comfortable and personal [ comfortableness ] and simple" for which the measure against the ratio of the purchase layer of ムーブ aged 34 and below falling and the baby-boomers Jr. layer used as a main target ask was born. The name of conte originates from the place called a square container and a square script, a continuity with drawings, and conte imagined from a crayon. In exterior design, although simplicity and a modernity are aimed at, a bonnet can be seen by favor and the functionality of イイ in abandonment is also compatible. Interior design uses a red accent color for an instrument panel and a sheet, and has become what proposed オシャレ さ of イマドキ shown as チラッ. A place [ it is unique for this sheet to be that with which the French designer dealt, and for an angle to be cuted off the corners, and to have become sofa feeling ]. The rear sheet is also changed with ムーヴ. The result of riding by two front seats in many cases was drawn from the data of the user layer, when it was right, without making a rear sheet slide, a load room is securing at a load room, and the stationary type was adopted (couple ディス wardrobe 955mm). That is, it is a concept centering on a crew member considerably rather than the load. The same thing as ムーヴ is adopted as the engine of familiarity of the thick low-speed torque in which the power train of conte appeared from the essay with the feature, and a basic target called CVT to which it was supplied from ソニカ. An engine is powerful enough at moderate accelerator valve travel. Fuel consumption performance is [ top which is perfect to / out of a town / a high speed ] also quite high. By pursuit of comfortable nature, the measure against a noise is also performed firmly. The example of representation is the high frequency sound of CVT. At the time of ソニカ, since it was called the sports model, it was quite larger, but in adopting it as conte, an insulator is put in and silence is increased. In spite of standing A pillar considerably, the wind end sound of the circumference of A pillar is also stopped considerably. In order that the place with sufficient ムーヴ may make the comfortable space as a concept as it is, it is conte that brush up is achieved. The merit of comfortableness serves as a concept of a run like interior design. Therefore, comfortable nature is developed mainly anyhow. Although it is ムーヴ needless to say, if it says to ひ and a mouth, that it is a base says that it is softer than ムーヴ on the whole, or it serves as a コンフォータブル setup. In axle part, NA& turbo is shaken in the soft direction and ステアフィール is also the arrangement of an adult bundle. Since energy is full like ムーヴ RS and the motion to the part which is not brisk, and an input is also quiet, not only the merit of comfortableness but the beginner unfamiliar to operation can be operated in comfort. Because in addition to it a square body contributes and a bonnet can be seen from a driver's seat, in respect of sense of security, it will be a high point. The latest car has many スラント nose designs, and since the car whose bonnet can be seen is quite new, it is superb in the sensational ease of holding. The first driver's seat electric slide sheet in the minivehicle of Daihatsu Motor is mentioned to one of the eyeball equipment of conte. From the verification data of since in the case of a woman with a height of less than 160cm the reason this sheet was developed has many people who move a sheet back when getting on and off. Although he may not realize a large-patterned man right away, since a woman short in stature serves as [ a driving position ] quite this side, if it is going to get on and off as it is, a leg will hit a steering column. since -- a sheet is lowered one by one, it comes down, and if it gets in, the work of taking out in front is done. Although it may be moved by a small thing, a slide before and after a sheet serves as work which requires weight, and since a woman will drop in at much destinations in many cases once she goes out, getting on and off is fairly troublesome [ a woman ]. Then, the electric sheet set to the memory position out of which even the switch came, and which was set up arbitrarily when the button was pushed, and it falls to 80cm back and shows up in it is very convenient equipment.

However, it is a point important when the pleasure which runs also tells a car. Nissan has taken out one answer called X-Trail 20GT of clean diesel loading to this opposite subject. Although the oil price was settled temporarily, a sonority lever or the environmental problem of the talk with sufficient business was not necessarily lost in automobile relation, either. Although it also feels that it became small for a problem because the sales number of a car becomes fewer, even if change demand decreases, as long as many cars are already continuing running, it cannot let environmental performance out of sight. in order to continue selling a car from now on, the type corresponding to environmental performance is called for -- carrying out -- the fact and big one -- 3 is reported for the delay to have become fatal. Even if it sees a Japanese maker, Honda stopped F1, said that it distributed the talented person to environmental performance development, and has told the enthusiasm to the vehicle development corresponding to the environment already called the green car also by CM. It is the times very hard as the body where continued running, covered by a circuit or winding and the pleasure of the run has been reported. Under such circumstances, there is a set which has tackled environmental performance in different approach from a high Brit. It is X-Trail 20GT of clean diesel engine (with turbo) loading. X-Trail 20GT cleared the new diesel engine emission gas regulation "post-new long-term regulation" enforced in Japan in 2009 for the first time as a Japanese car. Post new long-term regulation is severe regulation of reducing by half the numerical value of nitrogen oxide (NOx) or a particulate matter (PM) to the conventional new long-term regulation, and serves as a quite high hurdle for the diesel car. Incidentally, only the engine which cleared post new long-term regulation can declare itself a "clean diesel." It is said that the パジェロ diesel corresponding to new long-term regulation cannot be said to be a clean diesel if it says strictly. Since an automobile inspection can be taken, of course and it will hear wholeheartedly that a new engine is also under development according to post new long-term regulation also after post new long-term regulation is performed if it writes about the パジェロ diesel, since it cannot go if misunderstanding is invited, the debut as a clean diesel of No. 2 is also impending. On the other hand, Honda froze clean diesel development and has announced that it extracts to a high Brit. In order to clear this severe regulation, various latest technology is supplied to X-Trail. The common-rail system which raises combustor efficiency by 1600-atmosphere very high pressure, ピエゾ type in ジェクター which bears the duty of precise injection of fuel,It is the Lean NOx trap catalyst which purifies the diesel particulate filter (DPF) which oxidizes the burner doubles ワール structure and the particulate matter PM (soot) which raise the efficiency of fuel mixture with hot emission gas, and removes 99% or more, and nitrogen oxide (NOx). First of all, a diesel engine is excellent in combustor efficiency, and the diesel engine can change about 40% into energy to a gasoline engine being about 25%. It has a great hope as a new generation's environmental engine because NOx used as a problem and PM were removable in addition to the merit of the combustor efficiency. A merit will come out in the direction of a diesel car, so that it rides for a long time by the merit of fuel consumption, although it is high about 360,000 yen to the 2.5l. gasoline engine (QR25DE) loading vehicle in price. It is not ashamed of spec. to the name of GT, and, as for power, 173ps / 3750rpm, and torque generate 36.7kgm / 2000rpm. Since a 2.5l. gasoline engine is the spec. of 170ps and 23.5kgm, the potential which extracts a group is given in X-Trail. When it actually test-rides, the forcibleness is a peculiar thing which cannot taste in a gasoline engine. Although it is a characteristic of a diesel engine that low-speed torque is thick, dependability has the thickness very much. If a throttle is opened, a brawny feeling of acceleration will await. The missions put together are only MT, and start is possible only by tying with Pons, without being conscious of a clutch work. Even if it carries out an unprepared meat from idol rotation in a slightly high pole low-speed region, it shifts to acceleration as if there was what [ no ]. In addition to the help of a turbo, that it can blow going up lengthens rotation smoothly without the favor of the high engine of a feeling of rigidity, and resistance. Although there was an impression which sets one beat of engine responses by operation in which rotation is united just for a moment at the time of a downshift, the reaction from the state to which loads, such as acceleration from a 定速 run, were applied has a very early thing all over the districts. Therefore, it was rare to have not taken pains over selection of a gear but to have carried out a downshift by passing. MT(ing), even so having been hard to treat and not having felt -- this very -- it is easy to treat and is the favor of a smooth engine. Since it is the torque exceeding 36.0kgm of R32 GT-R, this is also conviction. Because the front was slightly heavy in handling, although there was an impression that a motion was a little overdue to steering operation, it is that the roll has settled down with ジワッ, and the drive which settled down few as for a sudden posture change was able to be enjoyed. Although it is X-Trail 20GT with which only a close-up of cleanness tends to be taken, the merit of in fact a run is just the charm of this new engine. it turning out that it is compatible and running environmental performance and a run -- liking -- just for a moment -- foolish り -- it became delightful encounter. Nissan X-Trail 20GT ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/nissan_xtrail_20gt.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/nissan_xtrail_20gt.html Fri, 26 Dec 2008 13:35:22 +0900 It is beautiful, and is brawny and consideration of a utility is also size. Ferrari California blessed with the opportunity to test-ride with the delivery start near at hand in March, 2009 was finished in high Ferrari of unprecedented practicality. It will be F430 if it is called the popular model of Ferrari. V the supercar of an 8 engine + mid ship -- "-- be absorbed -- ぞ Ferrari -- " -- と -- about -- show an exciting run. Also now which has passed since sale for two years or more, it is proud of popularity high also in Japan, so that it will whisper in waiting for about two years. Reigning on it is 12-cylinder Ferrari. The lineup of 599 of 2 Sita is carried out to 612 スカリエッティ of 2+2 with FR package. A new model was added to such a Ferrari family. It is California. A photograph announcement was made from before more than half a year, and he removed the veil at last in the パリオート salon of the autumn of 08. California mounts V8 engine to フロントミッド. In the meaning, it can be called GT car position from Lacey F430. And it is a coupe & open model with the metal top. Incidentally, 250GT Spider California and 365 California where the name of California was put on the market in the 1950s and the 60s are roots. It did not leak to other examples but California was designed by Pininfarina's hand. somewhere -- nostalgic -- old -- him in whom having a school atmosphere got to know all Ferraris of all -- it is not found [ whether it is / no one but / also or ]. The taste of a design leads to once 250GT Spider California. Body size is 1308mm of full length 4563x full 1902x all quantities. In 1214mm of full length 4512x full 1923x all quantities, therefore, a size hierarchy does not have F430. Differing deterministically is the proportion of California. The feature of a FR package called the long nose & short deck is reflected in a style as it is. Therefore, the size of a bonnet is strangely conspicuous when it stands on the front of a car. It is quite デカイ although it does not say that it is to 599. And a tail serves as the high deck. This is for the top at the time of opening to dedicate to the suitcase upper part. The リトラクタブル hardtop does not understand where opens in closed 時. A coupe line is drawn finely, without a division line entering, since the area of a top part is small. The taillight serves as round shape 2 light of the inheritance from 599. the interior design of California -- the design of F430 -- a color -- it follows deeply. The image of a dash panel is arranged by the position almost same as four round air-conditioner jets as it is. A big difference is that car navigation is mounted by this car under a dash center from the start. On a steering, a starter button is attached to the lower left and GT マネッティーノ is attached at the lower right. The latter selects "COMFORT", "SPORT", and "CST", and a gear / suspension / traction control is controlled by each position. In "CST", トラコン will be in an OFF state. Meter is arrangement which tells speed to a tachometer and the right and says it to the left as the driver ズイン formation of a liquid crystal in the center. The scale of the tachometer was minced to 10,000 rotations. Seemingly a sheet layout is GT car and are 4 Sita of 2+2. And the rear sheet is very practical. Since it is a division 可倒 type of 50 to 50, suitcase through is realizable. Although not tried, a golf bag is likely to be put in perpendicularly. Being restored to フロントミッド is 4.3 l. V8 which demonstrates 460H.P. However, this eyeball also has performance in having been direct-injection-ized with last thing. Although 997 type 911 which carried out the minor change for 08 years is so, it says that direct-injection engine-ization of a high performance car is one trend. Of course, the purpose is clean-izing of an exhaust gas, and improvement in fuel consumption. Incidentally, when direct injection-ization of other models was asked to the engineer specializing in an engine, the answer that it might greatly be came on the contrary. If it becomes, it may also be a question of time that 12 cylinders switches to it. V The trial rides which make full use of 7 速 DSC (double clutch) missions for eight units are winding, a city area, and total about 300km from an expressway. In the meantime, just as one pleases [ the acceleration and deceleration in a high-speed region ]. A bit, it is not different in a パドル shift, a gear shifts, and speed is controlled. Even if a rotating meter exceeds 7000 rotations, the appearance around which it turns still more is the highlight. If the top is merely opened, involvement of a wind is suppressed, but various sound trespasses upon a cabin. A ruling is likely to go up to SL63AMG by the point. A direct injection gasoline engine, 7 速 DCT (double clutch) of a transformer axle system and it, リトラクタブル hardtop so and so, and California are full of news. It can be said to be a model clearly epoch-making for Ferrari. A direct-injection engine realizes Eko, the Hill hold facility is added and the double clutch serves as a result which everyone can operate in comfort. The main market in such California is the United States too. It thinks of California as an important base so that the name may also show. 08 years are full of the volume of sales, and it expects 2500 sets of reservation. Of course, if it lets one year pass in 09 and afterwards, 3000 or 4000 sets will clear. When it becomes, Ferrari may also become a 10,000-set maker per year at last. But a deep slump global now. Porsche is so and the cloud also hangs over sale of a super-luxury car, such as アストン Martin and Bentley. If it becomes, how is this California? Although already called waiting for two years, it cannot look aside on a future trend. Ferrari California ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/ferrari_california.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/ferrari_california.html Thu, 25 Dec 2008 11:59:38 +0900 The minivan had acquired citizenship from the first in the North America market. However, soon, a minivan serves as the recognition of "having become domesticated" and SUV began to be brought into the limelight. Lexus RX (the Japan name Harrier) became the active leader. When it was called SUV till then and was only the models which are inferior to comfortable nature for a track base, in スタイリッシュ, appearance greatly won popularity with the obtained comfortable nature by having made based on the platform of a passenger car. Although the technique of a three-row sheet was common to SUV in U.S. large-sized SUV, it has come to see also by a middle class around from the second half of the 90s. The pioneer is the Dodge デュランゴ. And the model which gave a three-row sheet appeared also in comparatively compact SUV successively. And also about leading SUV of each company sold in Japan, it asked for about the same utility as a minivan, and the model which has a three-row sheet with this class has appeared here and there. Out ランダー and a crossing load are so and the Van guard was also added there. The Van guard of new style high rank medium SUV which is the long body version of RAV4. It is the model which the long wheel base specification of RAV4 currently sold in Europe and America was arranged, and was introduced also into Japan. The crossing load which appeared before the half a year is the model which gave the SUV inner exterior design to the base for the stream which is a minivan. Although it is a difficult car of categorization, I think that "SUV" is most applied. The pioneer who gave a three-row sheet to crossover SUV of this class is out ランダー for the first time in Japan. It was a world-strategy car, and the history of the run was begun and it was developed in pursuit of the essence as a car. Comparison verification of the user-friendliness of the 3rd row sheet is carried out at a subject for three sets of the histories of middle class SUV of Japan with a three-row sheet. It is the long body version which extended the wheel base of RAV4 by 100mm, and sells as "RAV4" in Europe and America. In Japan, naming of the "Van guard" which means a "pioneer" was given. The style is expressing a strong feeling of advance from side window graphics, the whole silhouette, etc. However, the organic design which attached intonation to the body panel superfluously seems to be a trend of present Europe, and I feel that it is different for a while for it, considering liking of Japanese people. rough lineup -- an engine -- 3.5L V6 and 2.4L -- direct -- it is two types of 4, and it is alike, respectively and there are five-person riding and seven-person riding. As for a drive system, only 4 WD is. 3. In 5L and 2.4L, tire size and the existence of the colored exaggerated fender serve as difference in appearance. the concept [ run ] of "having targeted the layer broad from a young man to the senior layer which child-rearing finished" -- 則(ing) -- it is arranged by degree-of-comfort serious consideration rather than RAV4. This platform also puts high-speed cruising in Europe into a view from the first, and is developed, and スタビリティ performance is high so so. Moreover, although there was stiff feeling which suppresses a roll at the time of a cornering in RAV4, it is wiped away with the Van guard. The feeling of fine vibration felt in the backseat of RAV4 has also faded. About power performance, about 70kg of 車重 differ from RAV4 first. Even if compared with these two sets, it is heavier than a crossing load about 100kg, and comparable as out ランダー, but dissatisfaction in particular does not have 2.4L by the efficient benefit of CVT, either. While distributing the optimal torque to an order ring according to a run situation, equipment of the S-VSC+ active torque control 4WD cooperative control of carrying out cooperative control of power / steering / the brake is advantage. The exterior of the square SUV taste which made the straight line the keynote is made to wear the diameter tire of a large, and minimum ground clearance is made it at slight height. if three sets are put in order -- appearance -- a cross-country skiing taste -- a color -- it is quite obvious that are hammering out deeply and it is heterogeneous. Some body sizes are small and the impression that how kind, no less than three rows stored the sheet has a crossing load most in this package. Although the displacement volume can choose 1.8L and 2L, it will be appropriate to choose 2L, considering 車重. The thing with the center of gravity high compared with a stream is never straining itself for seasoning of a run but as seen. Having a light heart which leads to the stream which pursued the sporty run, it does not become sporty too much, but drive Feer can operate relaxedly. Although リア tends for a while to bound, the place where the whole degree of comfort is finished comfortably is an agreeable impression. A drive system carries out the lineup also of FF besides 4WD. About 4WD, fuel consumption is usually held down by FF and "real-time 4WD" of the standby type which transmits torque to a rear wheel if needed [, such as the time of a run on the snow, ] is adopted at the time of a start and acceleration. In the crossing load, the time lag is almost lost to the change of FF and 4WD by having added the one-way cam unit to the dual pump system which tells torque to a rear wheel. Out ランダー developed as a world-strategy car has larger body size considering a price, and there is an inexpensive feeling. The impression which seldom attached intonation to the body panel, but made the plain thing Yoshi rather. There is also an urbane image. The run which the new generation platform used for out ランダー brings about is very best, and proud of high comfortable nature, such as a degree of comfort and silence. It was also effective to have adopted the mono-tube damper as an aluminum roof and リア with the high car of vehicle height, and the high movement performance which suppressed the roll is realized. The comfortable nature of a degree of comfort is also high, and does not give the weight under a spring. As for a power train, 6 速 CVT is combined with the MIVEC engine of 2.4L. These feelings are also good and CVT brings the natural feeling of acceleration like AT to the engine which demonstrates torque exactly. It can have an electronic control 4WD system, and the three modes, 2WD, 4WD auto, and 4WD lock, can be properly used according to a use. Mr. 3 vehicle 3's style. The cross-country skiing taste in which the Van guard is the production of the individuality of the Toyota style, and a crossing load impresses a new challenge of Honda, the impression of the design for everybody which out ランダー felt refreshed. A bad place is seasoning seldom worried, and although each run is all a tall car, it is not likely to be necessary to catch it negatively. Five-person riding besides seven-person riding is also prepared for the Van guard. Although not escaping from the region of a エマージェンシー sheet cannot deny the 3rd row of seven-person riding and the fact is not fit for daily use including getting-on-and-off nature, either, about amenity, he is the top in these three sets of inside. The side sill is also stopped low. The 3rd row sheet of a 5:5 division 可倒 type can pull two straps in the luggage area side of the back of a backrest, and can store them under a floor. A backrest also becomes a flat, while a dive down is simply carried out only by pulling the lever of the shoulder and a bearing surface falls. Although it is not a perfect flat, about user-friendliness and loading nature, I think that it is a good place. If it is made such, the space can be used as a large luggage area. Probably, a user also actually finds it useful. Moreover, this will also mean that it is as heavy as operation of an arrangement cannot be easily performed unless the sheet has achieved right-and-left independence, and the so much firm sheet is equipped. The point that the backdoor serves as a horizontal difference is also characteristic. the floor of the 2nd row is a flat mostly -- near a center console -- a few -- a swelling -- to some extent . For the first time in size, the floor of a sheet is low and considerably excellent also about the amenity of the 2nd row sheet. 2. The place where 4L vehicles do not serve as lower positioning frankly compared with 3.5L vehicles is also an agreeable impression. Upper specifications like such 3.5L vehicles, such as electric leather sheet specification, are prepared also for 2.4L vehicles. Compared with that there is such specification itself and a comparison vehicle, it is advantage. By structure of the interior design of the straight line keynote, storage space is also set up abundantly. It seems to be user-friendly. Since a stream calls it a base rather than this hit and SUV, a minivan is impressed. An inner side and outer visual balance are also good. However, if the 3rd row gets in, are not necessarily so narrow, but it seems to be a setup called the object for emergencies to the last. Although the habitation space near a stream is secured, if the 3rd row sheet is used, a ラゲッジ space will almost be lost. Probably, it will be better for not a setup that it can use ordinarily at any time but the state where the 3rd row was stored to consider a standard. When the 2nd row and the 3rd row of the ラゲッジ space is pushed down, a utility side, such as installing a board so that the crevice between both seats may become even, is also considered well. It is easy to operate it in a simple arrangement, and easy to use. It can be called the structure [ Hideyasu / as the 3rd row ] used occasionally. The angle which a rear door opens is large. Although the space made with the 2nd row among the 3rd row is narrow, access nature is not necessarily so bad. The 2nd row is equipped with a very firm sheet, and the habitation space of the backseat of the 2-3rd row serves as a setup of space with which body size is compensated by the square form. Instrumental and a waist line are high, each window is set up with some erection, and a driver's seat serves as slightly wonderful feeling. It is only a crossing load in three sets of inside that front seat sidewalk through is made. It gives that it is a minivan derivation vehicle too, and usage actually in character with a minivan can also be done. If there is also storage space this much, it will be enough practically. As for out ランダー, the lineup of five-person riding and the seven-person riding is mostly carried out at this price. However, it is エマージェンシー specification also in space with the simple sheet of right-and-left one strictly. Usually, if it is shapely settled under the floor of a ラゲッジ space and causes if needed, it can be considered as the space of plus 2 justification. Probably, it will be better to catch foundations with five-person riding. The capacity of the ラゲッジ space itself is quite large. In the feature, that a tail gate can be divided into an upper and Roa and can be opened will also direct a pleasant time in a leisure scene etc. The 2nd row can carry out a tongue bull and an order slide by 6:4 division. Although a backseat door is not necessarily opened so greatly, getting-on-and-off nature is not bad by the form of an opening. Habitation space is also actually felt large above by the lower floor. It is not like [ which is called the straight line keynote ], either, and it is correctly faultless, there is no place which showed off 奇, and a favorable impression is borne against the design felt being the same as that of appearance refreshed. The パドル shift for carrying out manual operation of the CVT in a steering as advantage in comparison with this rival vehicle is mentioned. Operativity and a response are good. Moreover, the keeping-warm cold-packed function in which the air-conditioner wind was used for the passenger seat upper box is given, or an original item -- the Rockford audio equips the "G" grade standardly -- also shines. If you plan to use the 3rd row sheet, even when the Van guard is most excellent and uses the 3rd row in space, a little ラゲッジ space can be secured. 。 which should be also structurally divided among a crossing load and out ランダー with the object for emergencies on the contrary This is a talk at the time of carrying out a theme [ the 3rd row sheet ], and does not tell superiority or inferiority as a car. And the interior of a room of a crossing load has composition like a minivan to other two sets being SUV-like. A price range and 車格 are positioned in the middle of RAV4 and the Harrier in Toyota. Although a price becomes high at these three sets of inside, a high-class feeling is advertized that much and it is visible. Various equipment is substantial and this price setup has a high inexpensive feeling rather at these contents. Moreover, although the popular model of the Van guard will serve as 2.4L vehicles too, it will also greatly be an ant to choose 3.5L cars prepared with much trouble. Moreover, there is also five-person riding specification which can have and use room rather than RAV4. I think that it is individual as it is as more convenient as something to choose seven-person riding for emergency. It is like [ which is thought that the meaning which this car comes out and dared buy RAV4 was lost not much ]. Although it is a derived model of a stream, when glanced, it is finished on the car which is different, so that it is not impressed. And it is a car which differs in effect also from pure SUV for a while. As a result, I think that it is individual with having become a car in which value is impressed rather than he buys a stream. Atmosphere of riding on a "new" vehicle is dwelling in this car. Although a crossing load is a car with various charm, I think that the greatest point is the exterior design which had forcibleness and casualness well. In a price range, body size, a style, run performance, a utility, etc. and all the sides, it is a very reasonable car, and there is also a relatively cheap feeling. The handling excellent in オンロード is shown, and it becomes comfortable move space, and bad road running-the-whole-distance nature also has remarkable ability. And although it carries a full load of the charm of SUV, the user who changed from the passenger car also thinks that the place which can get used without expectation ること is also good. In out ランダー, since the user-friendliness of the 3rd row sheet of seven-person riding is restrained, if it cannot hardly use, it will not be bad to be businesslike from the start and to choose five-person riding, either. Moreover, please also observe the place which can choose out ランダー of upper specification now by the 3L V6 engine-loading model having been added recently. Three rows of domestic sheet SUV ]]> http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/three_rows_of_domestic_sheet_s.html http://www.rs-flag.com/ceoblog/three_rows_of_domestic_sheet_s.html Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:13:48 +0900 The 2nd generation ティアナ which brushed up the mind of the "reception" of a predecessor further and appeared. The evolution has been taken in since the moment of sitting on a cockpit. The model of the large-sized FF saloon "ティアナ" of Nissan was changed fully for the first time in five years. It is a trend of a world to make and come out, to go a high-class route, and to become the character like a practical use sedan taking advantage of the advantage with engine sporty FR saloon to which FF can take large indoor space every width every length, if the situation of this class is said roughly. Although the same might be said of Nissan and it had made and divided a skyline and ティアナ, when Cefiro and マキシマ were unified in 03 and the first ティアナ was made to come out, Nissan performed clear individuality attachment on this car. It is the interior design of modern living feeling. The merit of comfortableness was made not only a cabin is large, but conspicuous with a floor console like the sheet before and after sofa feeling, or a sideboard. Being in the sedan called [ whether such strategy took effect and ] reduction tendency, a predecessor sells the 1000 or more moons constantly. Moreover, in the United States, good condition and the heavy responsibility of a world-strategy car have also fulfilled Altima which changed the exterior. On the theme of "modern", the "relaxation", and the "reception", a new model became the フルデル change which renews a platform so that it may increase this vigor further. An exterior design is the impression which disguised itself more elegantly valuing a Spacey predecessor image. Expression with an arch-like character line peculiar to entering which extracted order to the body side is made, and the front mask is strengthening luxury and extrusion with the enlarged grill and the hung-up pair lamp. Furthermore, 350XV of the best type of a car which test-rode this time is equipped with the stylish glass roof where the whole roof surface serves as glazing (the opening by the side of the interior of a room is divided into two places approximately), and contrast with interesting body color and black glass side was shown. Size is slightly raised with 4850mm whose full length is +50mm in a predecessor ratio, and 1795mm full [ whose ] are +30mm. However, all the 1475mm quantities and a 2775mm wheel base are the same as a predecessor. Although the sheet design etc. was more nearly orthodox than the predecessor and being toned down a little in respect of calling it individuality, the feature has as usual many instrument panels with which the soft pad floated in the grain tone panel, arm rests around which it turned to a crew member's waist, etc. The engine carried in new style ティアナ is three kinds at all. Although the 3.5l. engine of 350XV loading of the best model does not change a predecessor and displacement volume, it realizes improvement in power of 21ps by improvement of a 吸排気 system and a variable valve timing mechanism. A throttle response becomes mild a little and it is just going to stop sensitive/roughness of the standup by mighty torque that was impressive. Furthermore, the cooperative control of エクストロニック CVT M-6 also evolved and smoothness was increased. It is also glad that a manual shift (with the sink ロレブ function to unite rotation) can be enjoyed by operation before and after a lever. The 2.5l. engines of the mass-marketing zone prepared for three grades of XV, XL, and XE are 6 cylinders of V models with which 2.3l. to the predecessor's displacement volume rise was performed. as an FF vehicle, the balance of this one calls it the best -- it feels, and it comes out and can carry out skilled [ of the smooth run ] with an insufficient feeling of torque which is not. However, CVT put together is infinitely variable. Furthermore, although CVT was together put with some upgrade as for 2.5l. direct 4 engines of 4 駆専用, it was not able to test-ride here. Footwork is also improving focusing on a degree of comfort. The predecessor's engine feeling of rocking and motion of the direction of a pitch accompanying ON and OFF of power were large. First of all, it is fairly serious to take charge of the torque of a 3.5l. engine by FF. However, in addition to the accelerator response which became Gentle, the device which suppresses posture change also in axle part was given, and the new model became a flat degree of comfort without the extreme motion that a front is raised. It is said that the "reception" which ティアナ aims at is firmly incorporated not only in the inner exterior but in the run. However, the pressure from below of the front wheel when still passing a gap is not small. The impression which has hardened the front in order to correspond to heavy 車重 and mighty torque. They are a few portions in which the difficulty of large power FF is given. In this portion, 2.5l. is more advantageous. Since the front side is seldom hardened, a degree of comfort is mild. However, the trial ride car prepared this time is only XV, and this is a 17-inch tire. He had the cause or a feeling that an input was slightly large. The direction of 16 inches below XL may suit the character of ティアナ. Compared with the predecessor who advocated modern living feeling, it acted as an adult of the design a little, and くなった, however new style ティアナ have followed that up by textures. What was admired first is a sheet. The three-layer structure of performing maintenance of vibrational absorption and the body firmly by a part for a base portion is adopted using the urethane near an outer skin as a soft thing. The effect is greatest and, in the bottom, is finished in style 合い very gently. A rear sheet is made still softer than a front, and directs the feeling of relaxation like a sofa. There is a margin also in the size of a bearing surface or a seat back, and step space is also large. Furthermore, the door arm rest of order is a peculiar design around which it turns to the hit of a crew member's waist. Appearance of the touch is good for a top gentle to, and is raising the degree of relaxed. Furthermore, the instrument panel with which the pad which has the thickness of slash plastic surgery in the grain tone panel of the cherry wood style appeared is also quite a sense. although the predecessor had the portion with which textures had not caught up in the design, the balance of this neighborhood was markedly easy coming to be alike of a new model In the reason for saying, new style ティアナ is finished on the car which a suitable feeling of a reception can enjoy with a light run in every seat.
