belle foto davvero, una promozione anche per il colore che mi prende sempre di piu'

perdonate la mia ignoranza in materia, ma che l'e'?

come discorso generico, sul fatto che ora si cerchi di avere sempre frontali incazzati non c'e' dubbio che l'andazzo e' quello, ricordo che a quanto pare Lotus dopo avere dato una faccia troppo sobria ad Evora ora correra' ai ripari. Questo e' almeno quello che vuole il mercato. Tutto e' cominciato con i cancelli audi seguiti poi a ruota da tanti, tanto che, come dice Cosimo, ora anche la Matiz deve avere la faccia truce. Su mito mi astengo, questa 4C la trovo invece semplicemente perfetta cosi', una faccia incazzata rovinerebbe tutto. E' bella, e' moderna ed e' classicheggiante allo stesso tempo. Tralasciando l'oppurtunita' di questo tipo di auto sul mercato, tralasciando se e quanto costera', evitando accuratamente discorsi fantascientifici quanto prematuri sulla tecnica, la piccola sprizza note positive. E, per inciso, a me ricorda la elise 1 che era tanto piu' attizzante di quella con la faccia da insetto.

Dannatio ti prego, con questa foto mi stai facendo venire le convulsioni...roba che la mia neurologa tra un po' decide di ricoverarmi

There's a lot to like about Audi's new RS3 Sportback - but it has serious competition at the price Without wishing to sound too much like some sort of automotive Gok Wan, it seems that, for the aspiring hot-hatch-about-town of the 'teenies', 300 is the new 200. (Are you Gok Wan? Ed.) RS3 Sportback has a 'bespoke' flavour... Two decades ago, you were doing distinctly well if you could muster 150bhp from your fast hatch. Then, at the turn of the century, Honda got all feisty and brought the fast hatch top-end up to 200bhp (all right, 197bhp, but close enough), while Audi had the original S3 with its 210bhp turbocharged 1.8. Now, though, we live in a world where even a front-wheel-drive Ford Focus can summon more than 300bhp. So the 335bhp Audi RS3 Sportback doesn't seem quite as outrageously powerful as it would have done a few years ago, despite churning out damn near as many gee-gees as a BMW M3 would have done just five years ago. It's not just power that's been on the up, though; even in its most basic trim (and we suspect few buyers will escape the Audi dealership without having first ticked-off several thousands of pounds of options) the RS3 still costs £39,900. Which is a lot of money to pay for a hatchback, however hot it is. ...and goes like stink. Is that enough? It's a measure of just how far up the performance car food chain the RS3 is being positioned that Audi's press material cites the Mercedes C63 AMG and BMW M3 as 'rivals', against which the £15k cheaper RS3 represents conspicuously good value. In some respects this is a clever trick for Audi to play. On the one hand it subtly distances the car from its most obvious competitors - the likes of the Ford Focus RS500 or the Subaru STi Cosworth - while at the same time emphasising the car's premium credentials. On the other hand, it does set up the RS3 against some fairly serious competition. The big question, then, is this: can the RS3 cut it as a bargain alternative to the fast German saloon norm, or us it really just a hot hatch with a painfully heavy price tag? Even the engine is well-dressed First impressions, it has to be said, are good. The basic performance stats of 0-62mph in 4.6secs and an electronically governed top speed of 155mph are spot on the mark, while 332lb ft of torque available 1600rpm and 5300rpm provides serious real-world punch, especially when overtaking. And the RS3 comfortably bests its more glamorous V8 German cousins when it comes to economy, with a claimed 31mpg on the combined cycle (no, we don't care all that much about economy, but when fuel prices are nudging £1.40 per litre it does become a little bit important). There are the sort of bespoke touches you would expect of a fast German, too - the five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbocharged motor is made with vermicular graphite (makes it lighter, apparently), while the front wings are of carbon fibre reinforced plastic. The suspension is 25mm lower and the car sits on a wider, 1564mm track, too. RS3 could be any hot Audi from here These are all definitely moves in the right direction, but it doesn't really feel specialised enough to compete with its higher-end rivals. The whole effect is a bit too reliant on flared wheel arches, a deep front spoiler and chunky 19-inch wheels to differentiate itself sufficiently from more ordinary Audis - and that sounds like the sort of tricks a hot hatch would employ to us. On the road it's another case of nearly-but-not-quite for the RS3. Its offbeat five-pot thrum is distinctive, its thrust undeniable, and its four-wheel-drive traction and grip are unquestionable, but it just isn't as involving, as enjoyable as you hoped it would be. It covered the ground on our twisty Alpes-Maritimes test route with searing pace, and you would emerge from a particularly challenging section filled with the tingling buzz of adrenaline. But that excitement came more from sheer speed and the sense of having attacked a road with some fairly precipitous drops on it than from anything innate to the RS3's dynamic behaviour. Sportback adds practicality around to The problem, as is so often the case with fast Audis, is that the RS3 just doesn't flow with you down the road. It feels safe, grippy and predictable, but there's precious little sense of adjustability to the chassis, whether on the approach to, in the middle of, or exiting a corner. The gearbox can be a bit finicky out of really slow corners, too, the ratios of the 7-speed S tronic twin-clutch effort making the car too eager in first and too lethargic in second. In the RS3's dynamic defence, however, both the gearbox and chassis are more comfortable with fast flowing sections of road, and the fact that the gearbox doesn't change up automatically at thee red line is a welcome nod to the enthusiast driver. Nice in red, too... It's one of few genuine nods to the hardcore driving enthusiast, though. Like the TT RS and RS5 before it, the RS3 seems to represent a further move away from hardcore performance in favour of something a little softer - and arguably more civilised. That's not necessarily a bad thing, mind. An RS3 will appeal to those who want to enjoy a fast, safe, comfortable and well-built car, and who want to know that there are deep reserves of grip and pace available should they wish to plumb them. Those who want that nth degree of driver involvement, however, probably ought to look elsewhere. Still, the RS3 has an undeniably wide spread of abilities, and Audi will no doubt find more than enough buyers for the 500 or so it plans to bring to Blighty. As for whether the RS3 is a hot hatch or a super-saloon, I'm going to have to draw a woolly conclusion on this one and say neither. Just as the 'Sportback' bodystyle won't be easily pigeon-holed into any one category (Audi has chosen it mainly to distance the car further from the TT RS than if it had a three-door body), so the RS3 doesn't seem to sit easily into any one category. It's definitely too refined and sophisticated to be called a hot hatch, but it's a few cylinders and several percentage points of commitment short of bearing comparison with an M3 or C63. fonte: www.pistonheads.com loro lo chiamano test drive, in realta' non dicono nulla di che (viene il dubbio che non l'abbiano neache guidata) se non che....e' sempre la solita audi, veloce, sicura, piantata, non parlano di sottosterzo ma parlano di poco intrattenimento alla guida. In sostanza dicono che non e' divertente e spiritata come una hot hatch ma che per potenza e' lontana dalle supersaloon...insomma e' un'audi e quindi non resta che quotare quanto sotto..

maledizione, staro' invecchiando ma ieri l'ho vista per strada e non mi e' sembrata poi tanto male. Fa molto understatement, triste fuori e bella dentro. Spero di non pensare mai a questa come ad un possibile acquisto. PS: oggi per scherzo mi hanno regalato un libro intitolato: "You know you are middle-aged"

ciao, io recentemente ho visto il QQ sia 5 posti che +2 e la differenza e' notevole, tuttavia fino a 4 persone ci stanno senza problemi. come costi di gestione non so dirti ma il motore e' molto parco. C'e' pero' da dire che Nissan (anche qui in UK dove e' di casa) e' un po' esosa su tagliandi e pezzi di ricambio, o almeno questa e' la mia esperienza con la mia vecchia nissan micra. Rimanendo su quel tipo di auto ho notato che roba tipo Mitzu ASX o Kia Sportage stanno, almeno in italia, facendo furore (e devo dire, anche se non amo il tipo di auto, sono parecchio belle e hanno buone motorizzazioni diesel).

Toyota remodels new coupe Wednesday, March 09, 2011 Driver feedback from early development tests is one of the main factors behind the redesign of Toyota’s FT-86, which appeared in its closer-to-production form at the Geneva show. The FT-86 II’s restyle keeps the original concept’s basic silhouette but lifts the nose, a move forced by pedestrian impact regulations. However, the biggest change is to the A-pillars, which have been moved back by around 100mm at the base, resulting in a more upright windscreen. It also gets a remodelled rear end, and LEDs in a new front bumper that draws heavily on 2007’s FT-HS concept. See pics of the Toyota FT-86 II from the Geneva show Akihiro Nagaya, the manager of Toyota’s design division, told Autocar that the changes had been made after test drivers’ reaction to early prototypes of the car, which uses a floorpan and flat-four engine developed in conjunction with Subaru. “We had feedback from drivers who felt that the angle of the A-pillars created a type of ‘tunnel vision’,” he said. “This could sometimes make the car hard to place on the road, particularly at higher speeds. The theory behind this car remains that of the ‘86’ [the original Corolla AE-86], which was easy and pure to drive, so we had to change it.” Read more on the Toyota FT-86 II concept Nagaya said the Geneva car was “a fair indication” of how the final production model could look when it arrives at the Tokyo show in December. “You could say it’s around 50 per cent there,” he said, “although that could be as high as 70 per cent.” He also confirmed that the Toyota will share more than just mechanicals with the Subaru; the two cars will look very similar, too. He said the approach would be along the lines of Subaru’s Trezia, which is a Toyota Verso-S with redesigned grille and lights. fonte: www.autocar.co.uk Alcuni cambiamenti stilistici riscontrati sulla concept presentata a Ginevra (muso piu' alto e montante A arretrato) riflettono le norme sull'investimento pedoni ed il feedback da parte dei primi test drivers che riportavano problemi di visibilita' (credo...)

azz, l'avevo conservato anch'io qualcosa sulla costruzione di quella plancia, non veorrei sbagliarmi che credo che fosse un QR. Purtroppo la immensa pila di giornali da cesso che ho collezionato da bambimo (QR, gente motori, auto e AM - ma esiste ancora?) e' stata fatta fuori da mia mamma quando ho fatto le valige e sono dipartito da casa!

ma si, diciamo che come tu hai un po' esagrato cosi' io ho un po' esagerato per gioco. In realta' luca parlava di avere un'auto di servizio ed una per divertirsi. Tienii conto che i naftoni moderni consumeranno si poco, ma alla voce divertimento possono essere supermegagalattici dal punto di vista t ecnicoma non sono il massimo in quanto a tamparti un sorriso in faccia. il discorso sul consumismo poi non mi sembra alll'uopo, se uno ama le auto e vuole divertirsi con una benza bella sportivetta che fa, si deve castrare?

el Nino, non condivido su beta coupe' perche' cosi', semplicemente per una questione di gusti a me proprio non e' mai piaciuta, ma andiamo assolutamente d'ccordo su trevi, sulla quale ritengo di essere abbstanza feticista, sopratutto per quanto riguarda la plancia "aeronautica" quanto mi faceva impazzire da bambino! e poi, vedo quello che hai in firma...wow, pensa che io mi sto mettendo in moto per noleggiare una jensen interceptor. Giusto per qualche giorno, giusto lo sfizio di usare uno dei miei tanti pallini feticistico-automobilistici 8-)

EDIT: vedo che avevi gia' rispoto ridimensionado i numeri comunque, ovviamente condivido il concetto estresso da owluca (ovvio, per chi puo' permettersi di avere due auto) e devo dire che questa hyundai non e' niente male mette insieme linea piacevole, spazio a bordo, le doti di garanzia stralunga della casa coreana, motori che mi sembra abbiano ricevuto buone recensioni, una qualita' ormai nella media e prezzi, si suppone, medio-bassi. Complimenti

nel caso fosse utile copio/incollo quello che dice la rivista britannica "what car?" si riferiscono alla lancer saloon in generale, ma ci sono note circa il 1.8 Performance 2 out of 5 stars The 1.8 isn’t very quick, especially with an auto gearbox, although it is quieter at motorway speeds. The diesel engine is an ageing VW-sourced 138bhp 2.0-litre, it has strong mid-range punch, even if it's rather lifeless at low revs. Ride & Handling 2 out of 5 stars The Lancer is an easy car to drive, if not a particularly entertaining one. There's a decent amount of grip, but the steering is too light in bends and the body leans over more than it should. This wouldn't be so bad if the Lancer had a cosseting ride, but it doesn't - you'll be jiggled around in your seat at most speeds. Refinement 2 out of 5 stars The Lancer's cabin is far from peaceful. Wind noise isn't too much of an issue, but there's plenty of road noise, even at low speeds. The engines are the biggest annoyance, though. The petrols sound wheezy and overstrained, especially the 1.8 when combined with the CVT gearbox, while the diesel chugs away noisily and sends vibrations through the main controls. Buying & Owning 3 out of 5 stars The Lancer is very well priced in comparison with other small saloons, especially when you consider the amount of kit you get for your cash. However, resale values aren't likely to be spectacular and the fuel economy is a touch disappointing. Carbon dioxide emissions are higher than many rivals', too, so the Lancer doesn't make a huge amount of sense as a company car, either. Quality & Reliability 3 out of 5 stars A high standard of assembly gives the Lancer a rock-solid feel, and if Mitsubishi's steady record for mechanical reliability is anything to go by, this should translate into years of trouble-free motoring. While the interior plastics are chunky and hard-wearing, they don't have the tactile appeal and smart appearance of those in a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Jetta. Safety & Security 5 out of 5 stars All Lancer saloons have an excellent roster of safety kit. Twin front, side and curtain airbags are provided, along with another two 'bags designed to protect the driver's knees. Importantly, stability control is also standard across the board. All Lancers protect themselves with an alarm, immobiliser and deadlocks. Behind The Wheel 3 out of 5 stars Mitsubishi has taken a keep-it-simple approach to the Lancer's dashboard. The amount of switchgear has been kept to a minimum, giving the dash a clear, uncluttered layout. The driver's seat has two-way adjustment, but the steering wheel doesn't move for reach. Most drivers will easily find a comfortable driving position, though. Space & Practicality 3 out of 5 stars The Lancer provides good cabin space compared with its family hatchback competition. Front-seat occupants won't want for space in any direction, and although headroom is a wee bit tight in the back, there's lots of space for long legs. The saloon's boot is a decent size, but intruding wheelarches make it annoyingly narrow, and the narrow opening means it doesn't have the easy access of a hatchback. Equipment 3 out of 5 stars All four-door Lancers get a sporty look thanks to a bodykit, alloy wheels, foglamps and privacy glass. GS3 models also have sports suspension and climate control. If you want luxuries such as heated leather seats, sat-nav and a stereo with a 30GB hard drive and iPod socket, go for the range-topping GS4. fonte: www.whatcar.com buona lettura

vabbe' tu mi vuoi far venire un infarto vero? dicci un po' cosa ne pensi dopo averla provata (io di M ho provato slo la spider...)

mi sono letto un po' di roba e al sondaggio ho votato "abbastanza" come TonyH anch'io vedo questa come possibile auto di servizio nel caso non ci sia necessita' di molto spazio. Accattivante e funzionale. Dalle foto gli interni non sembrano il massimo (quelli della Musa toccati con mano mi hanno fatto la medesima impressione, niente di che insomma) ma se spenderci tempo dentro e' picevole come sulla 500 non mi sembra un problema eccessivo. altre due riflessioni: 1) non capisco perche' non dotare la motorizzazione diesel di dualogic, che prevedano il TCT? 2) le interviste ai designers se le potevano risparmiare, penose, cosi' come penosi sono i nomi dei colori riportati da Nick (riferiti alla vecchia versione). E' possibile che abbiano partorito idee cosi' idiote? non ho parole a sufficienza se non una bella risata

guardatela quanto e' bella la originale tra l'altro figa in questo colore celestino e cerchi bruniti , tuttavia mi sembra che qualche modifica ci sia, vedo uno spolier anteriore che mi risulta nuovo... EDIT: vedo anche uno spoiler posteriore mmmmh io di solito l'ho sempre vista cosi'
