immagini da autotelegraaf.nl testo da autoweek.com The Jeep Gladiator marks the resurrection of a Jeep pickup nameplate not heard from since the 1960s, and a body-style absent from the company’s lineup since the death of the ’80s-era Comanche. The Gladiator is built on a unique platform but takes the simple style trail to strongly resemble the production Renegade. Senior vice president for design Trevor Creed says to expect “a lot in a short time” from Jeep’s corner of the DaimlerChrysler universe, and while DC officials deny the Gladiator is intended for production (natch), Creed’s statement, along with the development of a new platform and the Gladiator’s subdued familial cues, imply a production version might very well be on the cards. The Gladiator draws power from a 163-hp version of the 2.8-liter common rail turbo-diesel I4 engine now available in the Liberty, with torque rated at a strong 295 lb-ft. Part-time four-wheel-drive is transferred to the wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. Other trick features include a rear-seat access hatch on the driver’s side, a full passenger-side rear door, drop-down rear glass and an expandable cargo bed. In normal configuration, the bed measures 5 feet 6 inches long; with a simple manual process, the rear seat slides beneath the bed and the entire rear bulkhead slides along rails forward into the cab to grow the bed to 8 feet. The Gladiator also features a canvas top similar to the Renegade’s, which may be folded back partially for a sun-roof effect, or removed completely.

Again, officials say there are no production plans, but envision the car, which is reminiscent of Ford’s Shelby GR-1 concept, occupying the space between the Crossfire and (in theory) the ME412 in Chrysler’s performance portfolio. Though the car is Viper-based—and Creed referenced Chevrolet’s Corvette as a key competitor (again, in theory)—the designers envision “Firepower” as more grand tourer than outright sports car; hence the softened suspension and five-speed automatic transmission. Brakes are 14-inch Brembos at all four corners, and the huge rubber measures 275/35 R19 up front, 335/30 R20 in back. Engineers estimate the car is capable of bolting from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds or less, and a 185 mph top speed. Whether either car ever meets a production line, Chrysler has produced two concepts that would fill obvious holes in both Jeep’s and its own product lineup; don’t be surprised to see executives keeping careful watch on public reaction at Detroit in January.

fresche fresche da autorevue.cz... comincia a prendere una forma personale...

l'articolo relativo alle foto: da channel4/4car Spy Shot: Honda Civic 2006 Here are the first shots of the 2006 Honda Civic: lower-slung, sportier and altogether less MPV-like than the current car. Expect three- , four- and five-door versions in Europe, and we may also get a Coupe - said to have an S2000-like long nose - this next time around. The European and American versions will share far more components in the new range, in a bid to cut production costs. Hot Type-R and fuel-saving hybrid versions are certain. aggiungo questo 3/4 posteriore da autorevue.cz

avete ri-visto Platoon ieri? Mi sembra che ci siamo ricaduti...

A giudicare dalle immagini penso proprio di si!Ma nn si diceva che avrebbe adottato una soluzione tipo 575 barchetta col tetto rigido che ruotava?O mi sto confondendo con qualke altro modello? forse quella è una soluzione che useranno per il futuro modello completamente nuovo... BOH! Non mi ricordo bene, mi pare ne avesse parlato TAURUS

somiglia a molte auto, figuratevi che nel frontale io ci vedo qualcosa della stilo

mi piace ma c'è un topic già aperto: http://www.autopareri.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10286

non ti preoccupare ho citato te perché eri l'ultimo... L'unica cosa è che non capisco perché eravate tutti fermamente convinti che si trattasse di un photoshop, tutto qua....

NON sono photoshop, ma concept ufficiali in particolare la 75 coupé in commemorazione del centenario della rover: Britishness, understated elegance and always an interior that is undeniably 'a better place to be' are Rover virtues that have come together in the Rover 75 Coupe concept car. The company's design team wanted to mark the first 100 years of the Rover marque with a stylish design that would sit confidently as the latest in the line of renowned Rovers like the P4, the handsome P5 coupe, the innovative P6 2000 model and the bold SD1 hatchback. This has been achieved in the form of the Rover 75 Coupe concept - a beautiful and elegant two-door expression of the stylish 75 Saloon. The concept's interior strongly focuses on Yew wood and Tan leather hide introducing the style of designer furniture into the automotive lounge, extending Rover's trademark for a welcoming interior. Peter Stevens, Rover's design director says: "I want people to turn away for a moment from post modern brutalism and to enjoy the elegant and timeless lines of the 75 Coupe's design. The true character of a Rover comes from its ability to present a cosseting environment with comfort and refinement being the high priorities, elements that should be expressed in the form and detailing of the exterior of the car. "Heritage is a great strength for a marque as it gives you the terms of reference and something to build on for the future. That is exactly how we saw the challenge of presenting a Rover concept in its Centenary year."

La seconda che hai detto! ... ma la panda 3porte che fine ha fatto?

ma quello lo leggi quasi tutto anche da visitatore, mi pare...

..qualche tempo fa si diceva 200/300 € inferiore a Bmw R1200..capisci perché questa moto rfischia di avere successo? si! e capisco anche che andrebbe bene anche per delle quattroruote di marche a noi care... :cry:

quale sarebbe?

essendo la sorento una classe M con linee meno curve e visto che il nuovo trend è quello di linee più decise e rettinilinee, la nuova M assomiglia alla sorento (che non mi è mai sembrata tanto male) interessano le foto in formato + grande? da autorevue.cz

a moggior ragione se si è investito è giusto sfruttare l'investimento al massimo! Sono d'accordo che i diesel da 300cv sembrano in parte ingiustificabili, ma se li comprano tanto vale tenerne conto... purtroppo per molti la coerenza e la logica non entrano in gioco quando si comprano auto del genere...

Bellissima! A me pare che qua a Roma si possa parlare anche di svariati puttanoni (e papponi) in coda in seconda/terza fila, altroché una sola!

specifiche tecniche e prezzo?
