Sporty Scion FR-s: zippy and easy fun

Richard drew / AP file

The Scion FR-S is a fun, sporty drive.

By Dan Carney, NBCNews ContributorToyota has branded his zippy new sports coupe with the abbreviation "FR-s". It stands for "Front-engine, rear-wheel drive, sport and game." Used cars Toyota Scion are brand abbreviated name given the FR-S, but is Toyota really once popular Celica Sports Coupe.

This means that the car slick looking, affordable, economical and fun, like the early Celicas. Sure, seems the FR-S sure almost every other similar car in fat, drunk oblivion to follow rock star, as he gets to expand weight, performance and colourful facilities in the course of time in a bid to their vocation. Ironically, such movements usually these cars appeal, destroy, as they not new purchasers of interest and for their original target audience become too expensive.
Here's hoping that Toyota can maintain the kind of discipline that has proven Mazda with the MX-5 Miata in the decades since the FR-S is a jewel, this needs not the kind of "Improvements" to ruin such accessible toys.

It will be not only Toyota decision, because the car is the product of a joint venture with Subaru and the Enterprise version is called the class Z. The companies are about their contributions to the finished product vaguely, but the Powertrain features a Subaru flat four-cylinder "Boxer" engine as in the Impreza compact car.
Toyota FR-S describes as a "2++ 2", an allusion to the fact that it not true four-seater. But in this case it is more a "2++ who?" because you will hardly find who fit comfortably in the back seat, while the front seats are occupied. I tried me the back seat and found that it MRI machines, which is less than the Scion + 2 line to restrict.

What I liked and interior design is appreciated on the FR-S its simple straight lines. There is no video display screen with interactive menus fit for cars of various settings. If you want to change the time on the clock? Press the button "H" or "M" to change the hours or minutes. Odometer to reset? Press the reset button of the odometer.
You be bothered trying to find out how "easy" menu, navigate or otherwise trying to figure out how to do something with the FR-S. Find the button and press it; It is so easy. If you want to enable the heat or air conditioning? Turn a round button in the direction of red or blue. Do you want the fan to blow harder? Turn the other button in the East. A distribution of buttons has its aesthetic drawbacks of course, but this is a worthwhile sacrifice for the ease of use and low cost.

This philosophy provides a worthy metaphor for the rest of the car: simple, honest, reasonably priced and easy to use. This means that the car fun by excessive costs, unnecessary technology or inappropriate facilities is not undermined. Perhaps future iterations with $40,000 price tags, automatic lane-keeping assist and makes floor mat Fluffers will be charged, but now we enjoy the Scion raw accessibility.
Gas to get and which gives a Growl, horizontally against Subaru flat four engine the brand enthusiasts that is familiar. Possibly the similarity to the sound of an old VW Beetle recognize older drivers. Power is good for a relatively small engine, with decent torque from low-speed.

But a snappy throttle response is produced fast turns often characteristic of the sports car engines, and that an area where is the FR-S is a slight disappointment. The gearshift is notchy and it clicks positively into and out of each course, with short throws and light effort. The clutch is also light, with perhaps a touch less feeling for the friction is as ideal.
The FR-S has beautiful, big round analog instruments of the sort enthusiasts love. There is a digital speed readout, embedded in the middle of the Central speedometer. This is useful because the dark-faced speedometer is mounted not only on the left side, but is an unlikely 160 mph, driving for every day the numbers that can be buried too far left on the dashboard are deep, numbered. Thus the digital speedometer.

A gripe about the dashboard is that the radio looks like a special best buy; It is a pioneer without rotating radio-control. The sound is not impressive, that makes me suspect that Scion expected that young audiophile own stereos at delivery should be installed.
Speaking DIY upgrades, is the FR-S with the hardest on the least grip economy tires seemingly straight out of the Prius equipped. There should be a healthy market for easy tire, used Prius replacement such as FR-S customers on the first day of property for performance rubber Exchange.

Even with relatively little torque, the FR-S tires under acceleration when turning, is prone to spinning inside rear because the factory Michelin economy tires have so little grip. In the rain, they are especially awful.
But many of the today's rear-wheel drive enthusiasts are fans of drift, to round the driving style, where you turn the rear wheels and slide. This make easier to make hard tires, and the tires last longer, so that perhaps Toyota expects that the FR-S customers will spend their weekends drifting to Cone in a parking lot. All others need to install the tires and genuine rubber ditch.

But forget the tires. And on the radio. The FR-S is that I have driven the most fun new car in my recent memory. It is exactly the kind of car, to insist that the doomsayers, is dead, because they, that children are to be drive in favour of say interaction with their friends online go. Nonsense, I say. Sporty little Coupe lure young driver. These vehicles must be developed only for the today's young riders and not of the past decades.
This is a car for the first time new car buyers way which is original Celica remembers still lovingly in 20 years in the thought now.

Above 10% of new car buyers ignore the test drive

The research, performed by Maritz Analysis, surveyed over 80,000 individuals who had purchased 2012 design year vehicles, and the ultimate count of those who didn't take a try was 11.4 %, according to the review. The connotation is that with some 80 % of customers doing latest cars research on the Internet, along with a worldwide don't like of car revenue methods, individuals are progressively willing to buy a car almost sight unseen. 

Dealers, curiously, are not happy about this pattern, according to the report. The test drive is aspect of the seller's collection of techniques to get people thrilled enough to aspect with their money. As one former store associate told the Freep, "The feel of the rim will closure off the deal." 

But the test drive can also be a essential determiner for customers, especially when car customers do an sufficient job of evaluating different automobiles by starting thorough analyze pushes. No Matters how excellent a design might look on document or how glowingly some "professional" car writer might explain it, there's no replace actually getting it out on the road and experiencing from it yourself.

New Bugatti Veyron - Most Expensive and Fastest Car in the World

The Bugatti Veyron16.4 reigns as the world's most luxurious car, created by the well famous manufacturer of automobiles, Bugatti. With the company's long years of experience in this kind of industry, they have created masterpieces and they have become the essence of a company with a great passion for automobiles. The company was started by father and son, Ettore and Jean Bugatti in the year 1901. Together, they were able to create remarkable and amazing combinations of art and technology in the automotive industry.

At around $1.7 million, the car is by far the most luxurious car in production at present with the nearby contestant, the Ferarri Enzon, coming in at around $1 million. For the price of the Veyron you could buy both the Enzon, and the third place candidate, the Pagani Zonda C12 F, which comes in just over $700,000. This price tag is not for nothing though, as the technology in this car, as well as the design and calm features are all top of the line, and beyond anything most people have seen to date.

The Veyron is a combination of high performance and stylishness. This super sports car possesses the capability to travel at extraordinary speeds and it indisputably resembles the elements of a classic Bugatti design with a modern touch.

Not only is it the most luxurious car, but it is also the fastest manufacture car on the road today. Its 1001 HP engine pushes it to its top speed of over 250 mph, which is faster than the 240 mph of the preceding holder of the top spot - the McLaran F1.

Latest small car Mercedes B-class review, test drive and video

It only takes a short while exhausted in the new B-class to realise that, more than a Compact Sports Tourer, it is a gravely spacious hatchback with all the quality and appeal of a full-size Mercedes-Benz. With the launch intended for the second half of August, the B-class will, for all intents and purposes, be in a class of its own. It will slot in below the C-class and above the A-class with which it shares its basic planning, so expect it to be priced at around Rs 24-26 lakh.

Before you read on, you must know that the B-class you see here is very diverse from the car that will be launched in India. This car is left-hand drive, has a six-speed manual gearbox and comes with a sporty body kit that adds those beautiful but impractical 18-inch rims and run-flat tyres. The car is here as part of Merc’s pre-launch endorsement of the B-class and while our drive was short, it allowed a reasonably good insight into what to expect from the Indian-spec car.

The first thing that grabs you is the design – there are a number of styling accompaniments intended to create visual width – the large grille, well-defined nose, low bonnet and high roofline do give it some individuality, but it’s the upswept flank crease that really catches your eye.

The B-class is larger than it looks in pictures. As you can see, it is significantly taller than a C-class and the wheelbase is obviously long. This is the first transverse-engined, front-wheel-drive Merc on auction in India. Look under the cap and you’ll see the engine sits ahead of the front axle line, thereby therapeutic vital space for the cabin.

The driving place is upright and something of a middle ground between tailgate and MPV norms. But it’s easy enough to get contented and, though this car didn’t have them, we’re pretty sure Merc will offer motorized seats on Indian versions.

Space inside the car is generous – there’s ample room for heads and knees wherever you’re sitting, and rear legroom is mainly good. However, the seat base is a bit too short and thigh support is not great. The boot is helpfully big though.

Other highlights lie with the sheer excellence of the interiors. The nice, sporty three-spoke wheel, the triple AC vents in the centre and the sheer quality of leather and plastics tell you that you’re in no normal hatchback. It’s a practical cabin too, with a large glove box and plenty of storage spaces dotted around.

You will discover three distinct packages, just about all supplying the same horsepower, with the most fundamental program starting off at $3, 995.

Camaro leads the way for Chevy app, nav incorporation

When we saw demonstrations of Chevy's MyLink system last year, it looked like the company finally had a solid contestant to Ford Sync. MyLink not only obtainable advanced voice command over phones and MP3 players, but also included smartphone apps.

However, as we saw in the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy hadn't built a MyLink head unit that was companionable with a navigation system. The result: buyers had to choose between having sophisticated voice command or onboard navigation.

The 2013 Camaro seems to resolve that little problem. A press release notes that the new car will come normal with "MyLink and color-touch radio" on LT, SS, and ZL1 models. The release goes on to say that buyers will be able to option steering into that system, although the parenthetical "late accessibility" suggests Chevy engineers still have some work to do on the system.

It may be coming out later than the car, but that did not stop Chevrolet from posting a photo of the new steering system on Facebook. The image shows a very clean border, something Chevrolet has done well within the past. The maps look bright and clear, while a transparent information bar along the top shows the current music playback. Along the sides of the LCD are what look like touch buttons, another nice feature for a clean boundary.

We have few details about this scheme, but it seems liable the maps would be stored in flash memory. Without the steering option, it seems like the screen will still be present in the car, used only for the stereo, phone system, and apps. MyLink supports Pandora and Stitcher initially, and the LCD should support practical interfaces for these apps, such as being able to select stations and give current tracks a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. MyLink can coexist with satellite radio, so it is possible that the steering system will rely on this source for traffic data.

This new MyLink/navigation system also represents the first instance of an aboard navigation system for the Camaro, which until now has relied on OnStar turn-by-turn instructions. With all the bugs and addition worked out in this system for the Camaro, we should see it roll out into other models as they receive updates, and find its way into Buick-brand models, as well, which use a MyLink-parallel system called IntelliLink.

Saudi youths mounting cars on brick pedestals - Do you know why?

We are not going to make believe that everything American kids do with their cars makes sense. Ghost riding, tray sliding. To be youthful and a car owner (or car borrower, in the case of most kids) frequently means doing strange and stupid stuff with your ride, and this rite of passage emerges to cross all cultures. 

These pictures of Saudi youths raising their cars on brick base appeared online this morning without much circumstance to explain why they are doing it or even how. The wire images only come with a caption that reads.

Saudi youths raise their sport value vehicle (SUV) with stones and bricks in the tourist area of al-Habla 50km south of the city of Abha in the southern part of the kingdom on July 12, 2012. Young Saudi males gather in al-Habla for a summer camp to escape the burning Gulf summer heat and spend time mounting their cars on display. They are at summer camp, so possibly a badge for car mounting is at stake, or maybe this is the most excellent way to protect the very hot Arabian sun from melting their tires. Toyota models of every vintage and explanation appear to be the favorites, but there are also Mitsubishi and Mazda model getting the stonework action. Regardless of the reason, the sight brings us back to our own youth when driving a car was license sufficient to do a little silly with it.

Future BMW X1 and Mini countryman to share platforms

The next generation BMW X1 comes sometime around 2015, it will be based on front - wheel drive architecture, sharing its platform with the Mini Countryman. This is not new news stories and editorials have been parsing BMW's FWD plan for more than a year, and in 2011 April, CEO Ian Robertson announced there could be six to nine latest BMW and Mini models as part of a "compact car family" based on a common platform. 

A report in Auto car about the switch adds a few more particulars, though. In addition to the cost profits from this arrangement, the next X1 will lose its six-cylinder engines but provide more room. The transverse-mounted engines preclude the six-pot unless BMW redesigns it, so strategies are for nothing any bigger than four cylinders and possibly the 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder power plant slated for the 1 Series GT. A Haldex clutch will carry on to provide AWD facility and the upshot with the smaller engine bay and firewall moved ahead is more room for passengers and cargo. 

The stage is referred to as "UKL," for Unter Klasse (Under Class), and its place in the product portfolio is it seems that more complex than simply saying it will form the basis for small Mini and BMW models: stories suggest it has been built with the suppleness to underpin the next generation 1 Series as well as the next generation 3 Series. No, that does not mean the advent of a front-wheel drive 3 Series, since the UKL stage was reportedly designed with features like a movable firewall support enabling transverse and longitudinal engines as well as FWD, AWD and RWD power trains. It does, however, mean the ads showing "This is why we don't make front-wheel drive cars" will most likely never surface again.

Honda N600 derived retro city car exposed?

A wave of images showing what looks like a new kei car from Honda has appeared online. The small sized five-door looks to have borrowed its lines from the N Concept 4 that the Japanese automaker first showed off at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. That funky little engine raised design elements from the beloved Honda N360/N600 of the late 60s and early 70s. 

This growth comes as no shock, as Honda official told us in November that the concept's warm reception would lead to a manufacture model. These black-and-white images look to be raised from patent filings, although there are no strong details available. That has not blocked the web from guessing about the whole thing from final dimensions to what's under the hood. Japan has severe regulations governing what can actually be considered a kei car, which means this retro-seeming creation will almost surely be no more than 133 inches long and 58 inches broad. 

Also in-line with kei-class system, the vehicle will likely show off a 660cc VTEC four-cylinder engine good for around 64 horsepower, though we won't know for certain until Honda discloses the official reports on the finished product. Don't wait for to see this engine on our shores, however. With its small size and output, odds are this one will continue to set aside for the Japanese market.

Latest Renault Clio Comes with Six engine-sounds

There is also the somewhat gimmicky R-Sound Effect, which can pipe "six different engine sound profiles" into the cabin when you tire of the natural, small-displacement exhaust note. 

More substantive improvements are found under the cover, in the shape of an available three-cylinder turbocharged, 0.9-liter TCe 90 gas engine with 90 horsepower and 100 pound-feet of torque. Other engine choices offers a 1.2-liter TCe 120 gas with 120 horsepower and the 1.5-liter dCi 90 diesel with 90 hp and 162 lb-ft. The last two power plants will be paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
