2011 Chrysler Town & Country

View: The 37, 000 dollars, a mini bus. Just put that in perspective, I am going to list some of the other whips it Roll (years), and that kind of money: the Infiniti G37. Audi A4. BMW 328i. They are "entry luxury" cars, and they will pay "entry-luxury" of money. You could buy two of the basic Japanese sedans a scratch.

We have all the rich on the Internet, and we all pay for everything in cash, and we all have our nose again, very small amounts such as $ 37 thousand, right? In the real world, but it is real money. Figure 7-50 months, a typical five-year funding Deal. It 'hard to believe that the typical family has the ability to pay, like that in this economy.



Chrysler Town & Country are now "live" and the $ 30K price range. No more minivan budget. If you want one, go to a Dodge dealer. Product, they say, justifies the price. Let's find out if they are correct.

Many of the press, the testers hands of Town & Country of Napa Valley at the launch was a glossy black, and it is easy to see why. If there really is such a thing as a "commercial premium" black-chrome Chrysler is probably it. Exterior has been revised a strong dose of automotive jewelry, a complex logo, matte silver wings headlights mounted behind the type of products. It 'more of a viewing distance of the R & C, and brother of the caravan than ever, and both models will benefit from this. If nothing else, the luxury treatment is too successful, parents may be concerned about what the truck looks like a couple of children related shocks and scratches.

Inside is the essential accessory for the new decade: the dashboard of the CAP piece. It was not until he returned to the airport in a T & C model 2009 that I realized how much better the new interior. It focuses on the personal driver is surprisingly close in dark colors, and more elegant than, say, the button never Playskool Sienna. The precedent of Van "Stow-N-Go" seats are a lot of (justified) criticism, we have "Super Stow-N-Go", which is much closer to being a normal size head. A "private jet" available captain's chair is also available and, unless absolutely necessary occasional availability of a flat load floor, I strongly recommend that you select.

The new instruments, HVAC, and selection of sound systems are much better than before ... and yes, they look high end. As before, the "uconnect" system does a remote control for the second Ford SYNC, not to mention the myFordTouch, but if your frame of reference is the current navigation system in a Sienna or Odyssey, you're likely to think by accident aboard the Battlestar Galactica. The vents are controlled by rolls of chrome and inlaid with rubber buttons all work with one final "click" and the metallic elements within a metallic look real.

A short conversation with the interior design team provided an overview of the improvement of hyper-forged in 2011. They know that Chrysler has had material inside the shit of their cars. They do not like him more than you. They worked with the auditors and forced Daimler to cut all kinds of crown of the car. Cerberus was released from the yoke, and now we see that the result truly impressive. It's a terrible explanation cheap, but I'm willing to believe.

Fate has blessed me with extraordinary "media partner" for the event, a guy named Jeff Yip who was apparently born without fear, and was as eager as I was in the minivan dynamic capabilities. The data sheet provided disappointing trio promise of V-6 engine from last year, has been banned, and now it's impressive Star Penta winds through a six-speed automatic transmission. You can handle it from side to sequential control function with the fingers of your right hand while keeping your hand on the wheel - very WRC, if you ask me. Several years ago, Grassroots Motorsports Honda Odyssey found that to keep pace with E-type Jag on an autocross course. What can upscale minivan to do?

Although I am disabled myself a bit by removing standing on the side of the road, wait a few journosaur anger screamed past in a Chrysler 200 V-6, count to sixty, and then get in the van for give chase, we soon tired by running down writers of our colleagues on their "drive fast". Fortunately we found a crazy old in 528th, with an animal cage bungee cord in the trunk, and this guy was on it. He drove a near perfect racing line at every turn, often with some left corner drift angle at the back, running in the three digits on the straights.

The big Chrysler could be killed in a straight line - is a more acceptable truck quickly - if you stayed behind and worked mainly in the corners. It is a pleasure to see that the brakes were mostly on par, the transmission shifts smoothly under manual control, and that management was downright decent. I remember one year singing colored mag several years in the fact that the C4 Corvette could more than double the recommended speed in the corner way back ... Well, now you can do in a box of bread for seven passengers. No pitch or roll to cause nausea, only a suspension buttoned greater control over the bounce many Audis. Very few drivers - and I mean very few - really want to go faster on a winding road to the T & C can take. I have the intention to take one to the famous "Tail of the Dragon" and forcing me sportbikers the last waves.




Of course, ninety-nine percent of Chrysler's customers no matter how fast the minivan can be chewed, even back to the road, and many of them do not even particularly interested in one piece, or sound system dashboards "theater of imaging." Price, reliability, resale value, and the ability to have a real benchmark in this segment, and even if the T & C shines in fourth grade, the first three are discussed. I will leave the heavy lifting of statistics Mr. Karesh, but in my frank analysis is that the R & D is, say, the price premium over the market-leading Odyssey and Sienna. Chrysler welcomes people who do not have much leeway to the revised incentives vans. They hope that the market will pay more money for a better truck. I do not know if they're right, but to paraphrase the famous Hemingway, E. driver of the van, it is definitely time to think so.

2012 Ford Explorer

As the drive for higher standards for fuel economy gains momentum, Ford announced that its 2012 Explorer equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine is EPA of 20 mpg city, 28 mpg on the highway and not to overshadow its main competitors. In fact, these figures are closer to what is found with the small SUV like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.



There is a big concession: The EcoBoost Explorer is only available in FWD. There will be no four-wheel drive option.

As a direct comparison, the current Explorer V6 front-wheel drive is rated at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway. In our test drive a V6 Explorer four-wheel, we have 18 mpg overall to 12 mpg city and 26 mpg on the highway. Obviously, results vary depending on driving conditions and style.

Ford was the significant increase in fuel economy of the adequacy of its popular browser again, with a 2.0-liter engine. The combination of turbocharging and direct injection allows the engine to produce low cylinder 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, while being stingy with fuel.

This strategy engine, which is known by the EcoBoost brand, is applied in almost all parts of the line Ford. By 2013, the automaker estimates EcoBoost engines provide 90 percent of its models.

2012 Ford Fiesta

2012 Ford Fiesta small car really is not beneficial, but when you take into account, Fiesta, stylish looks and a surprisingly robust list of features, is one of the best ways to fall without feeling as you move downscale, ie.



Last year, Ford has made a version of its successful European festival in the U.S. market, and we believe this model is on target, taking into account how Americans are increasingly willing to enter small efficient vehicles without sacrificing the features and amenities.

In some ways, what you see is what you get with the Fiesta. This little Ford elegant and a bit of democracy, with an urban runabout, which had been absent from the Ford range in the United States. In the following runs Fiesta as beautiful as it looks with impressive control and handling and agility, agile feel it is better than most soft, numb defines its size. On the other hand, with 120 hp and 1.6 liter to about 2.600 pounds Fiesta is reactive, but not fast.

Despite the high level of internal moves first glance, the first date of the test with flying colors, try to pack a few friend Fiesta, and you should be aware of some of the typical small car sacrifices. Her slim body and a tight back seat to cut its usefulness long road trips, but we want to increase the versatility of the hatchback models. We are also not so enthusiastic about the tools available to the Fiesta panel, which clusters of audio controls as part of a series of odd diagonal buttons.

Return to the starting point, Ford held the line on pricing for 2012, based on Fiesta S starts at just $ 13 995 and includes a decent set of audio with auxiliary input, a folding rear seats, heating vents again , A / C, power locks, tilt steering wheel / telescopic - none of them are taken for granted in this vehicle class. The degree of security was impressive, and the knee airbag for the driver even included in all versions. A fully loaded top back of the line SES and could reach about $ 23k, but have a small car with leather seats, high-quality audio, voice control and Bluetooth USB synchronization interface, and an interior that is a trace of econobox.

But this raises a question: at this price, why not have some 'broader, more attention, or a basic (but is considered the highest level), the Mini Cooper? The answer is to force that Ford is almost - but not quite - this bag clean cars and very small door sedan. Keep it simple and inexpensive, and does a lot of (very elegant) way.

BLANCPAIN X Fathoms TEASER #2

BLANCPAIN X Fathoms (sneak peek3)

By TLex The latest BLANCPAIN X Fathoms TEASER #2 reveals what looks very much like a depth gauge divers watch; could this be what the new X Fathoms is? And could this explain the mystery honeycomb mesh 'no radiations' thingamabob; a possible depth sensor? It would make sense for BLANCPAIN to release a mechanical depth gauge to head up their diving series as have Jaeger-LeCoultre with their Master Compressor DIVING Pro Geographic or IWC with the DEEP TWO. Whatever the X Fathoms may be, it's quite a departure from the classic Fifty Fathoms, but one that promises to deliver something truly exceptional.
