Compact MPV third-generation Corolla is not a derivative, but distinct model that can design and mechanics, relies on Avensis. After recent European premiere in Lisbon, these days we have had the opportunity to try out the new Toyota Verso and the local roads.

Toyota and Ford recorders by the number of recall

2010-11-25T12:20:00.000+00:00

Number one position in a negative sense, and still holds the sovereign Ford, which is only ten years of his service was called as many as 16 million cars.
Fortunately, our customers, these withdrawals typically take place in the U.S., so that our customers in case of Ford, however, spared going to the service.

Totally different case is that Toyota is a global problem of the accelerator made in our yard. More than 7000 revoked the car so far the highest figure recorded in our market. However, a mitigating circumstance for Japanese manufacturers is that mistakes are acknowledged, and without any additional cost to correct.

In their sorrow, a longtime effort to create a reputation of quality manufacturers overnight become completely irrelevant. Toyota does not want to be lawyers, but it is a fact that they made a classic of the media lynching that has already resulted in drastic fall in sales in January this year.

As a consolation, however, may serve a recent study (NHTSA) conducted in the relevant sample of 200,000 drivers on the number of complaints about the cars.

According to these data over the past decade, Toyota belongs to the class of high quality manufacturers, and from it have been better only Mercedes, Porsche and Smart. All other major manufacturers, including GM, Volkswagen, Volvo, Honda, BMW and Mazda, reported significantly more work in easing relations with their customers.

Toyota mistake enthusiastically welcomed by other manufacturers such as GM and Ford who are on a scale of sales results is rapidly rising. GM is even a step higher, and the owners of all Toyota vehicles offered a discount of $ 1000 if you decide to buy any GM item.

Provoked anger buyers

When you take into account the fight for every customer between these corporations, it turns out that customers are just collateral damage of their conflict. They matter who has the higher sales and the number of killed or seriously injured anyway will be taken only as a statistic.

However, judging by the examples from the past, recall the car will surely leave a greater mark on the manufacturer. Genuine examples may be Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford and many others who were in their skin felt anger customers.

Their sales in the period after major recall touching the bottom, and the recovery and return to the old track is usually a lengthy and painful process. There is no doubt that Toyota is waiting for an identical scenario, the question is just how much is the consequences.

The loss of the image of the highest quality manufacturers at this point seems like an acceptable option, but only the reaction of customers to be the only adequate measure. Their thumbs down would be too much even for the largest car manufacturers in the world

Bentley Contintental

2010-11-22T17:55:00.001+00:00

'We had three key objectives for this car - to improve proportion, to modernize the characteristic lines of the car and give it a more personal feeling as providing hand made, "explains Raul Pires, Head of exterior design at Bentley. As soon as a little closer look at the new Bentley, automatically notes the new sharper look - every panel is new, other than mirrors that are borrowed from the Mulsanne.

Thanks to the latest technologies and a process called 'super-forming', in translation, the process of forming aluminum plate at a temperature of 500 degrees through the air pressure, which enables accurate creation of larger parts. This is a well-muscled body got sharper and more modern look.

All identifiable features, including the famous arches the rear wheel arches are now fresher and better defined, with the coupe gets a lot more modern look. While formerly GT front hood was made of steel and plastic bumpers, it is now complete front wing is made from a single piece of metal.

'This process is expensive and requires more time to produce, but when it comes to cars that are produced in small numbers of copies, it is possible to try new things, "said Pires.

Imposing grille now stands more upright and was placed 40 mm lower than before allowing such a shaped hood that comfortably accommodate the protruding front wheel arches. Position of the headlight looks familiar but now each lamp has draguljasta LED lights that surround the main lamp.

The wider track width, front and rear, and two elliptical LED lights on the rear headlights that wrap around the corners attach to the new GT car even more impressive sense of breadth, while the height and length of stay about the same. And for the first time as an option offering 21-inch wheels that come in 'Elegant' zvjezdastoj or 'Sport' version.

This car has a minimum of chrome detail than any other model from this line, but everything on it has its own function. Rubber strips on the sides of cars are now more prominent to prevent stones from entering the rear wheel arch.Some of the other details are smart headlights and wipers are built into the headlights and rear lights are no lines or discontinuous transition, which contributes to the impression of a cleaner surface.The car interior is hand-making and the same has been redesigned for even greater sense of luxury and functionality. Beautiful dashboard mimics with Bentley wings logo, and each area is further decorated with metal or wooden detailing and super soft leather. Under his feet is 30 cm thick mat that further contributes to feelings of pleasure. New 'Cobra' seat design means that the same is now 25 kg lighter and thinner than previous ones, with the release of additional 46 mm of legroom for rear passengers.

The most modern infotainment system, something that potential buyers specifically looking for, according to Pires, includes 8-inch touchscreen, where you can manage the audio system, telephone, suspension settings and the latest satellite navigation system that can find the smallest place on the planet because they allow to enter 7-digit Zips and in addition has a built-in hard drive of 30 GB. Sound system with 8 speakers that are standard equipment, and accessories are available there and Naim package with 11 speakers.

For the first time customers Continental GT will be offered a choice between two high-performance engine - a strengthened version of the well-known W12 engine, which will be available in October and the price will be around 157 000 euros, while the other is a brand new 4.0- liter V8 engine with 40 percent fewer emissions of CO2 in the sale starts in late 2011. year.

With an additional 15 hp and 50 Nm of torque, reinforced 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 is now producing phenomenal 567 bhp and 707 Nm of torque. The extra power and do not forget the relief of 65 kg, compared with the existing model, should provide newcomer to sprint from 0-100 km in 4.6 seconds - which is two tenths faster than before - and with all this car has a top speed of 319 kilometers per hour.

Transferring all this power to the wheels allows the upgraded 6-speed ZF gearbox Quickshift which reduces the time required to change gear by half, or more accurately to only 200 milliseconds, and it is also possible to switch to two times lower gear in one go with the automatic bit Gas lift for precise adjustment of speed and softer feel of transmission. Drive all-wheel drive is also altered in a way that the relationship of power with 50:50 are now set to 40:60 in favor of the rear axle, which creates a more dynamic driving experience.

According to Raul Pires, this car is 'Evolution Revolution' which in no way a bad thing. Last seven years, Bentley has sold more copies of the first generation of this car than all other models together during the past 90 years. Thus, the Bentley, the subtle changes and improvements have already proved a winning formula, guaranteed success....

Passat CC

2010-11-22T16:58:00.000+00:00

Passat and its wagon version, called Variant, accepted everywhere are fantastic, so we can freely say that more than a solid market paved the way third and most luxurious model in this family, the Passat CC. Here, while not a coupe / convertible design as many people will probably deduce from the name itself.

Comfort Coupe (CC)
Here CC means Comfort Coupe and rather makes it clear that from this car, you can expect. Comfort is also applicable to a spacious, luxurious interior is full of sophisticated details, while the Coupe says that it is a characteristic karoserijskoj performance, but with four doors, which is longer, wider and lower than the standard sedan. For those who love numbers and mention specific values. Passat CC in length extending 4796 mm, which is 31 mm longer than the sedan. Width of 1856 millimeters in the plus 36 millimeters and larger than the conventional dimension and the width of tracks (plus 11 from the front, rear plus 16 millimeters), which will significantly contribute to the good driving characteristics. The downside is, therefore, only the height (1420 mm or 50 mm deficit), and to not surprising considering that the designers of the model CC had to create a distinctive feel of a sports coupe and thus give him a dimension that has never had a Passat. It is especially impressive side profile of a new model which in itself also contains a dynamic coupe and sedan elegance. Roofline is only slightly rounded. It looks visually very effective, and the impression raised glasses frames in chrome and elegant moldings of the same material. Below the glass, the designers have further emphasized the so-called "tornado" line, which visually connects the front and rear end and emphasizes the dynamic and sporty character. The rest of the car also revealed a new dimension to the already mentioned Volkswagen, a compound limuzinskog and buy the world that in today's automotive industry extremely popular.
Be sure to mention the newly developed glass sliding panoramic roof that extends to the B carrier, and creates a special atmosphere to the already prestigious interior. In short, this means that passengers would be able to enjoy the sunshine and have fun at the same time full of luxurious interior and newly developed details of the instruments with white backlight that models drawn from the luxury Phaeton through trokrakog, sport steering wheel to the control of air conditioning or a new generation of radio and navigation system with touchscreen controls. For the classic Passat cockpit considered elegant and quite sophisticated, so do not need to be stressed that customers will think about new solutions.

7.6 L/100 km!
Passat CC is a pure four-seater, from which it is also evident appeasement philosophy coupe. Both row bucket seats are ergonomically at the highest possible level. The front are adjustable in six serial, and optionally even in 12 directions, so it is easy to find a comfortable position. Problems should not be any with temperature because the seats are heated and ventilated, approximately 320 liters of air per minute passing the rear part of your body making the ride pleasant and relaxing. Back row with two seats offer a solid and space-optimized lateral and spinal support, almost surprisingly high quality for a coupe, and here is optionally possible to enjoy the benefits of heating the back and buttocks. Luggage space volume is 535 liters and is only 30 liters of slightly less than that in the classic Passat.
Motorization of the new model is typical volkswagenska here is really everything. On European markets will be the main gasoline 1.8 liter TSI engine with 160 horsepower at 5000 rpm. The most important advantage of this engine is superb efficiency (average of 7.6 liters per 100 km) and excellent torque of 250 Nm available at a low 1500 rpm. With this engine, the Passat CC mph arrives in 8.6 seconds with a maximum speed of 222 km / h.

4MOTION system
Power is transmitted to the wheels through a standard manual 6-speed manual gearbox, while the option to make 7-speed DSG automatic. Average power levels, when it comes to gasoline engines, went to another TSI-ju. This develops 200 hp at 5100 rpm and 280 Nm available from 1700 rpm. Average consumption here is only 0.3 liter higher than the input model, but sports performance significantly accentuated. Acceleration to mph is 7.6 seconds, top speed stops at 237 km / h. An alternative to a manual 6-speed gearbox has been here 6-speed automatic. The strongest gasoline, but the definite highlight offers the Passat CC is the total volume of 3.6 liter 6-cylinder that delivers 300 hp at 6600 rpm. Maximum torque of 350 Nm available at 2400 rpm, it needs to mph just 5.6 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. Average consumption here is somewhat higher (10.1 liters factory), but it's not too surprising given the superior performance and strength. With the 3.6 V6 engine is standard and offers the latest generation of 4MOTION permanent drive to all four wheels and an automatic DSG double-clutch gearbox with the qualities of which all but a few times told. All petrol engines comply with Euro-4 standards, and will start on the European market only the weakest and strongest version.
When it comes to diesels, Passat CC will be available with two-liter TDI engine and the two power levels of 140 and 170 hp. Smaller TDI provides 320 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm, speeds to mph in 9.8 seconds and reaches a maximum of 213 km / h. Premium data for the average car consumes just 5.8 liters of fuel. Stronger diesel speeding up 227 km / h to mph sprint in 8.6 seconds, all with the same consumption as deciliter and lower unit. Both diesel engines meet the Euro5 standards will come into effect until 2009th year, and will initially offer here only be weaker versions.

"Lane Assist"
But now begins the most interesting part of the story about the new model. The VW in the claim that the Passat CC: "progressive holder of technology with advanced systems to help drive and dynamism." The statement is completely accurate if one takes into account the fact that it incorporated the most diverse Assist systems. Particularly interesting is the "Lane Assist" active system by keeping the lane, which has its world premiere here. At first we struggled on the road with the steering wheel, thinking why on earth directs the car in the opposite direction from what we wanted. The reason was that we automotive journalists are the best drivers in the world and we as usual wanted to shorten the time cutting down the switchbacks on the road. The controller we resisted, and we (smart, but what we are) found that there was a strange, stubborn and somewhat unruly. Only later we realized that the "Lane Assist" system was involved, or that he was the main reason for self-cons control which is actually trying to correct our movements between lane.

"Front Assist"
Technology in this case was smarter than us, which is quite a gain in comfort and safety.
Intelligent solutions, not here is not the end. On the "Park Assist" We have already met at some other models, but it is still a solution for women, and we journalists are the right guys, so we did not use too much. Moreover, what is this space which do not use bumper cars in front and behind.
The next assistant was the Adaptive Cruise Control ACC with the Passat CC, which automatically brakes and accelerates according to the preset speed. Very useful toy that although reducing the charging party behind the car ahead of you when you for example in the left bar of the highway. In combination with "Front Assist" nalijetanje this system prevents the vehicle in front because in accordance with certain situations, preventive brakes and puts them in a ready status, and also works as a system to shorten the stopping distance.
Drivetrain of the new models have three characters. Passat CC can be driven in three modes: normal, sport and extremely comfortable. Specifically, the new adaptive control of the vehicle echelon can simultaneously adjust suspension and steering, and three programs: "Normal", "Sport" and "Comfort" without offering specific performance in accordance with the name. It was thought to the safety and care for her: 8 airbags, ABS, Electronic Stabilization Program ESP, ASR, EDS, MSR and extremely rigid chassis.
Passat CC is positioned in the premium area of the middle class, in this case, sports sedans and coupes, and intentionally to offer just one, but really worth or if you want an exclusive package whose components, except those already mentioned, the audio and air conditioning, On-board computer, multifunction display, control system pressure in the tires, 17 inch rims and more. His bid for the Croatian market is not yet known, but it should be significantly higher than the classic Passat......
