It is ideal for use as taxis, as well as for families, some acquire it even as an alternative to Ford Mondeo. A similar situation in Europe, where the S-MAX was a car in 2007.

Against the background of the elder brother kompakven C-MAX somewhat lost, and to put it back in the bosom of the family, the youngest did restyling. Emphasis was placed on adapting the style of New Edge newfangled Kinetic design, which made S-MAX and the new Mondeo. Also in a similar style has recently been undertaken and restyling for focus.

In order to get an updated C-MAX, we have to test-drive kompaktven with the most powerful 2.0-liter 145-strong motor and mechanical CPR in an advanced configuration Ghia.

Of course, the degree of post-study design restaylingovy Ford C-MAX a few did not reach the original S-MAX, but progress is evident. Stylish vertical protivotumanki and mouth intake did kompaktven aggressive and dynamic - Oh, it would still falshdiflektory on the front wings, as the elder brother, and would come quite wonderful.

When in 2007 her juicy cherry sides zaalel Concept Ford Verve, it was hard to believe that this - the prototype of the new Fiesta! And the Americans immediately said: production model will differ little from the concept. And, fortunately, is not deceived … Fortunately, the production model is not much different from the concept Verve

New Ford Fiesta - the other, she does not like the old. And it’s great: fashionable nowadays widespread «trap» grille with large cells, the complex shape of the front optics, rapid tracing the model name on the stern, a lot of details that create the style, kinetic style of Ford. Even more stylish looks trehdverka but pyatidvernaya version is good.

I have a soul Cinquecento. About it in a couple of hours already want to say «we», drive all night long, stopping to friends to raise their unwavering smile charming impractical, boastful pritormazhivat at traffic lights, giving the enthusiastic audience to see the «we» on all sides.

We have all long been pleased to power and convenience utilitarian. Every year the cars are difficult to distinguish from each other, whether they were under European or Korean sauce. And small cars and to burly SUV fell victim to the demon of globalization. Perhaps, therefore, increasingly draws us there, at a time when the trees were higher, the air is cleaner and the machine - more interesting?

The Italians were not confined to nostalgia and back to life an icon 1960 - Fiat 500. It is not practical. It is impractical, funny, original and incredibly stylish.

The success of a car in retro style has surpassed all expectations of hot Italian - emotional car began to sweep with tears of happiness in the eyes, so yes, that had to increase the initial production volumes. Cinquecento, Cinquecento - try pronouncing it juicy word denoting in Italian «five», without a smile! It zazvuchalo and in Russia, which is already used to the idea that Fiat - it is not a «Zhiguli». And was the wait for news at home.

In Do the we care about the needs of our children when we take them to the road trip? Especially when the tour is committed to neblizkie distance?

While the child is still small, it is limited to infant formula and a special seat. And then, and even less - a bottle of water or juice and CDs with your favorite fairy tales.

Close case
My wife and now from time to time, remembers the day away reading a book, is located on the rear seat «penny». When she was a child, the parents loved to perform and the long long trip to Novgorod and Leningrad region, or in Estonia.

Then, returning from a trip, they sometimes tried to discuss with his daughter any of the beauty of nature or architectural attractions, not suspecting that she almost could not see. Novels Dumas were all much more attractive neighborhoods. Not to mention cars. Machines, of course, interested in the Pope because he was by profession an engineer-constructor.

A girl, like most of her peers, did not pick in the transport stream of beautiful models. And it is not looked into the windows of beautiful cars in the parking lot.

A new model of car Taganrog Automobile Plant was known at the beginning of the year: in March Russia’s automakers announced entry sedan of its own design, which was named TagAZ C-100. The first model off the same production line in early May, and produced TagAZ C-100 automakers will start in June this year.

Interesting positioning of the new model in the domestic market. TagAZ C-100 given as a car, which is able to change understanding of the products of Russian automobile industry, like automobiles that can compete with the Ford Focus and Chevrolet Lacetti, hits sales of the past few years. That is, P-100 is estimated TagAZa, has all chances to become popular, obschelyubimoy and affordable car. So whether it will be, and what are the chances of the tagazovskoy model at a time when the country’s car market is in recession?

The external design of new items recalled several well-known models, while in fact is quite different from the concept - if any were - Russian-made cars. Some elements of its design TagAZ C-100 borrowed from the Hyundai Sonata and Verna, and places like Chevrolet Lacetti, but more so all the same «native» Eastern automotive products. What, however, there is nothing proud: that TagAZ C-100 has nothing in common in appearance with Russian models can «hook» car. By the way, and похожесть TagAZ C-100 on the eastern car is understandable. The car has developed a South Korean design bureau TagAZ Korea, many of whom worked for Daewoo. And, as they say in the TagAZe, the model will be fully delivered from South Korea in a Vehicle, while the Taganrog plant TagAZ C-100 will collect and paint.

However, with the title is unlikely to be linked as well as the S-Class W140, for example, refers to the F class. Himself the 124th body replaced the W123 sedans and versatile S123 in 1984.

Design a car is to pay particular attention. 124th body, established by then-chief designer of Mercedes-Benz, Bruno Sacco, developed the ideas enshrined in the W201. Revolutionary in comparison with the predecessor of the car’s appearance while in the mid 80’s, has caused much controversy. Although the car belongs to the classic brands, it looks much more modern than the total for 3 years more «old» BMW E28.

Thanks to excellent aerodynamics (drag coefficient Cx = 0,28) lamps, rear window and trunk lock is almost not polluted. Aerodynamic noise were virtually inaudible.

The development has been used a lot of advanced technical solutions: protivobuksovochnye system ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation, Antriebs-Schlupf-Regelung - antiprobuksovochnaya adjustment drive) and ASD (Automatic Sperr Differential - automatic locking differential), a central yard, which managed to purify 86% of the frontal Glass, Five-arm rear suspension, air bags driver and passenger (first appeared in 1982 on the W126). A car with a passenger cushion missing glove.

At the famous Barrett-Jackson auction was sold to three very interesting contemporary Ford Mustang. In the hands of private collectors, both the concept came in 2003, shown on a vtoshou North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). This coupe and convertible are the basis for design of Ford Mustang fifth generations.

Outwardly, the car more like a Shelby GT500 sample in 2007 than in catabatic «Mustang». The marked contrast to the serial cabriolet - the broad arc of security on the ground an average desk - a tribute to the classic roadster. Completed concept convertible 3.9-liter V8 engine, later on «Mustang» fifth generation is not compromised.

Once during the 2005 and the beginning of 2006 mazda surprised the public by their unusual kontseptkarami Sassou, Senku and Kabura, it seemed that the original idea of a Japanese company had ended.

The head of the North American unit of Mazda Design Franz von Haltshoyzen recently opened at the car show in Los Angeles told that it is in this vein will be created cars (but not lunar rover, as you might think) in 2020. As this work of art does not like white spots, the car was designed «from scratch». However, representatives of Mazda, and so do not tell about the future of the engine or technical characteristics. And they are under the name kontsepkara should be no less impressive appearance. Perhaps under the hood Nagare a motor that runs on alternative fuel or hybrid. But this is show time - you only have to wait until 2020.

Almost 30 years ago in the light of a vehicle BMW 7-Series, which has become a symbol of luxury, elegance and innovative technology. Ta «Seven», gained the nickname «Shark», was established on the basis presented in 1976 by stunning Coupe 6-Series.

Design first «Seven» was developed by the head of BMW design bureau Paul marriage. Already serial integration model BMW 728 includes the operating according to the speed of steering actuators, a braking system with double diagonal distribution, ventilated front brake discs, new brake hydraulic amplifier drive, and much more.

The new BMW 7-Series, introduced in 2008, was an entirely new code F01 (dlinnobaznaya version denoted F02). In doing so, the appearance of new items - it does not create an image from scratch, but only work on bugs, but what good!

The spacious interior, stylish and respectable appearance, backed by excellent motors and perfect handling, immediately won the hearts of many motorists, and the BMW 7-Series became a huge demand for ryke. Later appeared the next generation E32 and fantastic E38, which was produced until 2001. Throughout its long history of the BMW 7-Series has received the special character and a great audience of admirers. In 2001 the world was the creation of «revolutionary» Chris Bengla - BMW 7-Series with an index of E65. During his nearly eight years there in the market, this car is left ambiguous opinion: Benglovskaya «Seven» Autoworld split into two camps - supporters and opponents of a modernized style of the brand.

Alfa Romeo - not one of those machines, which are chosen by carefully analyzing the market, learn by heart the discussion on the road online forums or boring comparing the dynamic characteristics of the competitors. In order to understand the mad gleam in the eyes of Alfa-fan, you simply drive to any model of the Italian cult brand. After half an hour, while cool and quiet rage emotions, mind twist endless «but»: but the price, but reliability, but Russian road .

We first fell into this addiction with 147, reached the boiling point of 159, a bit disillusioned with Brera … Here «Alfa» presented an entirely new model, the premium compact hatchback class that is being decorated with the brand logo with the snake, eating, according to legend , Saracen, can not be sports. His name MiTo. Milano-Torino, the two main cities in the history of Alfa Romeo. In the name of the legendary brands have joined the past and modern technology.

Italian style
Even black «Mito» reflected concerns a red tint. He seemed to diminish and «rounded» sports copy Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione - primarily at the expense of the non-aggressive, as if in surprise cut headlamps-drops (as opposed to evil «eye» 159th or soschurennogo Views 147th). More than flattering comparison for a small «Alpha»! For the first time an attempt to draw a compact hatchback in the image of sports may seem wet, but once vglyadevshis in these forms, to tear your eyes will be difficult: known V-shaped grille, which resembles a shield, which does not tolerate any number of trivial number plate, and muscular Wheel arches - a member of a noble family features avtodinastii.
