 Specification image modification exterior interior price review 2013 Maserati Quattroporte
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the 2013 Maserati Quattroporte, the following information

 Mazzers playing its cards close to its chest, but we do know that the all-new V8 engines been designed and developed by Maserati and Ferrari engineers in Italys motor valley. And while youd associate the products of Maranello to err on the thirsty side, this ones meant to be more efficient and more powerful than the current car.

Of the chassis, Roberto Corradi, Maserati Vehicle Development Director, says: "Maserati engineers have worked in chassis designing and engineering, weight reduction, ergonomic enhancement to develop a car capable of fitting different powertrain architectures and transmission configurations for the most diverse driving conditions but always maintaining Maseratis trademark best-in-class driving comfort."

Now, about that design... According to the manufacturer, its "Italian design at its best." Apparently, it "reinterprets the design features of classic Maseratis". Hmm... The key Quattroporte trademarks are there in the front grille, three side vents and the triangular C pillar. The new bits include that pinched crease running down the side of the car, frameless doors, three side windows, and fresh headlights and rear lights

 The 2013 replacement for Maserati’s only current sedan, very little of which is actually visible here. Other than the door handles, windshield, and side windows, there is nothing we can confidently say is a production part of the next-gen Quattroporte. The true surfaces of every frumpy, matte-finished panel, including the hunchback rear window, are successfully obscured. Even the head- and taillamps are grafted-on pieces borrowed from today’s Quattroporte. Still, we can make out the new model’s general proportions, which are similar to those of the current car, with the dipping lower window line in particular telling us that voluptuous curves will once again be a Q-porte calling card.
 Platform/Powertrain: We already know that Maserati is planning to install revised versions of its Ferrari-built 4.5- and 4.7-liter V-8s in its upcoming SUV, with direct injection and stop/start technology to help save fuel and lower emissions. The same updated engines should find their way into the Q-porte as well. Ditto their attendant eight-speed automatic transmission. We expect Quattroporte and Quattroporte S models to be available at launch; a Quattroporte Sport GTS model is likely to show up a year or two later to keep customer interest alive once the initial buzz inevitably wanes. The next Q-porte could offer all-wheel drive, with a possible hybrid model appearing as well.

 Specification image modification exterior interior price review 2013 Volkswagen Polo BlueGT
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the 2013 Volkswagen Polo BlueGT, the following information

On the outside, there are multi-spoke 17-inch alloys and GT badges front and rear, while the suspension is lowered by around 15 mm. Added to this are some features borrowed from the Polo GTI (the rear spoiler, rear bumper with diffuser, plus front bumper with LED daytime running lights) and some from the Polo BlueMotion (side sills and front windscreen rain channels). A black-painted front grille and black door mirror caps complete the look, while a unique exterior paint, ‘Blue Silk’, is available as an option. 

 Inside, as in the Polo GTI, the roof lining is in black, while the instruments are also adopted from the GTI. Up front are bespoke BlueGT sports seats and a leather-trimmed steering wheel with BlueGT emblem. Standard specification includes DAB radio with iPod connectivity, cruise control, Bluetooth phone connection and XDS electronic differential lock.




The new Polo BlueGT, which costs from £17,400 on the road, features a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine producing 140 PS and 250 Nm (185 lbs ft) of torque, yet it returns 61.4 mpg on the combined cycle and emits just 107 g/km of CO2, whether drivers opt for the six-speed manual or the seven-speed DSG transmission. Top speed is 130 mph and zero to 62 mph takes just 7.9 seconds.

At the heart of the Polo BlueGT, and responsible in large part for its combination of high performance and low fuel economy, is the new EA211 engine. Under light and medium loads, the second and third cylinders are automatically shut down, producing fuel savings of up to 0.4 litres per 100 km in the EU driving cycle. At a constant 50 kmh (30 mph) the savings can be as much as one litre per 100 km, and even at 70 kmh (44 mph) in fifth gear, around 0.7 litres per 100 km can be saved.

 Specification image modification exterior interior price review 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4, the following information

With five doors, the car is 368 centimetres long, 167 centimetres wide and 160 centimetres high. The wheelbase is 230 centimetres long. It has a front track of 141 centimetres and a rear track of 140.

 For the look of the new Fiat Panda 4×4, Fiat Centro Stile designers started from the idea of consolidating its purely functional design features, adding small details that convey the image of an extremely sophisticated multifunctional mini SUV. Looks are strongly characterised by the marked geometric lines of the front and rear bumpers with aluminium colour cosmetic inserts to underline the presence of metallic protection under the body.

Unlike the previous generation, the tailpipes of the new Fiat Panda 4×4 seamlessly follow the lines of the body and ensure complete protection for the lower part of the car. Two body colours now complement the existing colour palette to enhance its 4×4 looks: Sicilia orange (pastel) and Toscana green (metallic).


The interiors pick up the solutions adopted on 4×2 versions with some important innovations: a new green fascia variant framing the instruments and the large storage pocket, fabric seats with a special design in three colour variant (green, beige, orange) and eco-leather details, front and rear door panels also with eco-leather inserts and finally a high console over the central tunnel which adds a further storage compartment to the 14 already present on 4×2 versions.

Two engine versions for the Fiat Panda 4×4 will be available, both with Start&Stop: the new 85 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and the 75 HP 1.3 MultiJet II diesel. With respect to the 1.2 Fire of the previous generation, the TwinAir Turbo has 40% more torque. This in combination with the special six-speed gearbox with low-range first gear ensures much better uphill starts, quality when starting, flexibility and pick-up. A similar improvement is found on the MultiJet II engine, where torque is increased by 30%.


The Panda has the most extensive, versatile range in its category, and to confirm this two important new Panda family members will be making their debut in Paris: the Trekking and Natural Power versions. The first is the link between the 4×2 and the 4×4 version by combining off-road looks with smart front-wheel drive by implementing Traction+ technology. This is an innovative traction control system, which improves handling on slippery terrain guaranteeing excellent performance when setting off. There is also the new Panda Natural Power equipped with a dual fuel (methane and petrol) 80 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo engine to combine all the running cost and eco-friendly advantages of methane with Turbo TwinAir technology for excellent fuel consumption, emission and performance values.

 Specification image modification exterior interior price review 2013 Nissan Almera
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the 2013 Nissan Almera, the following information

Nissan’s new Almera has been a hit in the USA (where it’s sold as the Versa Sedan), but will you want to buy it?

Here, sedans have traditionally played second-fiddle to hatchbacks in the light car segment. Nissan Australia however is banking on the Almera’s substantial interior space - at a squeezy light hatch price - to add around 3000 additional sales to its annual sales sheet.
It’s got a massive cabin, the Almera is indeed a rolling Tardis, but is, unfortunately, let down in a few other - somewhat critical - areas.

The Almera was developed exclusively for Russia, especially the "unique demands of the market, the weather and the local road conditions," said Nissan in a statement.
The five-passenger Almera is equipped with a 102-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine linked to either a five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic transmission. The top-of-the-line Tekna model gets standard air-conditioning, rear power windows, an audio system with four speakers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and 15-inch alloy wheels. It is said to be the only car in its class in Russia with a fully integrated navigation system.

The Interior

First things first: the Almera absolutely, positively, has one of the longest cabins in its segment.
Nissan says the Almera boasts the greatest legroom in the light car class, and given the yawning 904mm chasm between the first and second row, we’ve no reason to doubt that claim.
Secondly, this is a rather nicely-made interior. Hard plastics dominate, but even the rock-hard dashboard and urethane steering wheel have an appealing texture to them.

The Ti gets a more upmarket interior feel, with better quality materials, automatic climate control, ambient temperature display, rear park-assist, rear seat centre armrest, keyless entry and ignition and engine start button. But, like the ST, it misses cruise control.

Front seat comfort is good, but there’s no reach-adjustable steering. The seat position is also a tad high, even with the height-adjustable driver’s seat squab at its lowest setting.
The rear seats are nicely shaped and the acres of legroom are very much appreciated. However, it’s all spoiled by a lack of headroom thanks to the sloping roofline.

There’s no height adjustment to the base model Almera ST’s rear headrests either.
The boot - another super-sized aspect of this pint-sized sedan - measures in at a substantial 490 litres.
It’s a huge boot for a light car, although not quite as big as the Honda City’s 506 litre boot space.
Critically though, there’s no provision for a fold-down rear backrest. That’s hard to overlook when the overwhelming majority of the Almera’s competitors have such a feature.

 On The Road

The Almera’s naturally-aspirated 1.5 litre petrol inline four isn’t the most exciting motor around, but even with only 75kW and 139Nm it has enough muscle to move the 1.0-tonne Almera with ease.
Like all small-capacity four-pots, it needs plenty of coaxing during overtaking or merging onto freeways, but as long as the revs are kept high it performs well.
The automatic gearbox is definitely the one to get. It’s only got four gears, but it kicks down quickly and smoothly and works hard to keep the engine on the boil.
It can sometimes hunt between gears when travelling up steep inclines, but, for most of the time, we found the auto did not put a foot wrong when selecting ratios.

The cabin is relatively bland, but offers class-leading space and a boot that holds 500 liters (17.6 cubic feet) of luggage. Three trim levels are available and higher-end variants feature air conditioning, power locks / windows, heated front seats and Bluetooth connectivity.
Power comes from a 1.6-liter petrol engine that develops 102 PS (75 kW / 101 hp) and 145 Nm (107 lb-ft) of torque. It can be connected to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
To deal with rough roads and the Russian climate, engineers installed region-specific springs / dampers, underbody protection and 160mm (6.3 inches) of ground clearance. Theres also an upgraded heating system, specially-designed windshield wipers and an extra-large windshield washer fluid tank.source:themotorreport.com.au,insideline.com

 You may call the 2013 Chevrolet Spark "unique" without upsetting defenders of the English language. "Unique" means "one of a kind," so "very unique" is poor wording, and describing an item as "unique" when there are other things like it is wrong.



 Thats why Chevy offers the Spark with a rather large 7-inch touchscreen MyLink radio bereft of a CD player. Like the MyLink units in other Chevrolet vehicles, it can run apps when paired with a smart phone. Pandora and Stitcher are available at launch and Chevy is promising a special navigation app later this year, called BringGo (not to be confused with Bringgo.com, which appears to be selling counterfeit products from China). We got to sample a preproduction version of the mapping software running on an iPhone during the 30 or so miles we drove, and it not only looked great but performed perfectly, including restarting its guidance after we turned the car off and temporarily undocked the phone. We are firm believers in using portable navigation technology and glad to see Chevy adopting this solution rather than spec-ing a dedicated nav unit.

Bonus then for the Spark: Its actually a real car. At 144.7 inches long, the Spark is within two inches of the Mini Cooper hardtop, and its 93.5-inch wheelbase is almost two inches longer than the Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster. But the Spark is over three inches narrower and almost half a foot taller than the Mini. (For those of you who might have dropped freshman Physics in favor of something less math-y, short and squat is as desirable for handling as it isnt for getting a date.) At 11 cubic feet, cargo capacity isnt huge, but its better than the others in this class. On the plus side – pun intended – the Sparks EPA passenger volume of 86 cubic feet is fairly huge, topping the Ford Fiesta hatchback, which is ostensibly a class up in the B-segment.


 So Chevy is pitting a bigger car against littler ones. Indeed, the Spark is some two feet longer than the iQ and has five inches on the 500, yet its powertrain is remedial compared to its classmates. The Sparks 1.2-liter four-cylinder (actually 1249 cc, the extra 50 cc being a concession to U.S. market tuning) employs variable valve timing to make all of 84 horsepower and 83 lb-ft of torque, meaning that with a curb weight of 2,237 pounds, each of the Sparks horses has to move almost 27 pounds of weight. By comparison, the Fiestas ratio is only 1:21. Both the iQ (94 hp, 89 lb-ft) and the 500 (101 hp, 98 lb-ft) offer more power and torque, and the accompanying better power-to-weight ratios, as well. source:motortrend.com,autoblog.com
