Motorola DROID review

It's hard to look at the DROID without looking at the company which brought the device to life. Motorola: for years the name has been synonymous with... well, disappointment. While the industry-stalwart made cellphones sexy with the RAZR, the days which followed have not been especially fruitful or compelling. Over the past year or so, we've seen Motorola beating its way back into the mainstream through a series of smart plays: first embracing Android as a platform, then shucking off the weight of Windows Mobile and finally bringing some desirable (and high profile) devices to market.


With the DROID, the company has perhaps created its most attractive and intriguing piece of technology yet. Forging an alliance with both Verizon and Google, Motorola has come up with a second compelling reason to count the phonemaker down, but certainly not out, while the other two giants have finally found a seemingly worthy parking sensor device to position against the iPhone. So we must pose these questions: is this the phone which will catapult Android into the mainstream? Is it the device that will pull Motorola back from the brink? And -- most importantly -- is it the lynchpin Google and Verizon have needed to challenge the leader in mindshare in the smartphone market? After putting the device through its paces, we think we can give you the answers you seek -- so read on to find out!

How would you change Sony's PlayStation 3 Slim?

For the most part, we'd say that Sony addressed the concerns of many when it introduced the PlayStation 3 Slim. The console was smaller, cheaper and easier on the eyes, and of course the 120GB hard drive didn't hurt matters either. That said, we know that the redesign didn't please everyone, and we've heard more than a few PS3 diehards complain about the new design.
If it were you designing a newer, less expensive PlayStation 3, what would you have done differently? Kept PS2 backwards compatibility? Colored it white? Added HD DVD support? Don't be scared to get a little crazy -- besides, they call that "innovation" in the corporate world.

Fritz says GM need not any further aid from Washington

Fritz Henderson went to Washington to have a word the folks who wrote the $ 50 billion check to keep General Motors alive. Where he answered a number of issues raised from the Washington Post, the investment and the "new" company, it creates. His answer is sound, but qualified, a bit vague - it is to be expected, as economic crisis, will not be any close.

With regard to monetary issues, he said: "Any reasonable planning program", they have read does not involve any government, a written examination, and said that he returns, "If we let our work well, I think the Government has received a relatively a high return on investment a good opportunity. "This can be understood as all of the words," We can not identify what would happen. "But 4 months into his job still too early to Henderson's commitment to do well during the year, Therefore, at least, we will see the next round of general-purpose vehicles as before, we analyze the authenticity of his.


In other scores, Henderson praised the United Auto Workers, kicked in the door of hydrogen vehicles, estimated that the Chevrolet Volt will be at 4 million, he said, electric cars need to have more the price of other sources of investment decline .

2010 Camaro SS-Callaway building Hendrick Motorsports 25th Anniv.

We have added a lot of Camaro cars we need to see the list at the SEMA auto show, including Hearst, Lingenfelter of change, and Yenko. Now we can add a plan for us - the Callaway - Hendrick Automotive entrusted with the construction of the 25th anniversary of Camaro cars. An appropriate production is scheduled to run 25 show, each command $76,181dollar-denominated vehicles.

What is the price loaded with two stainless steel Camaro car reverse parking sensor to you? A lot of carbon fiber, for the start.

Microsoft's MSN Direct service to shut down

Microsoft's MSN Direct service to shut down in 2012,Well, it's quite the day for any GPS-related announcement, but Microsoft has nonetheless made a fairly big one of its own, with it dropping word via a simple service announcement that it's killing off its MSN Direct live information service for navigation units (among other devices -- even the odd coffeemaker). Those relying on the FM-based service won't be left in the lurch just yet, however, as the shutdown won't occur until January 1st, 2012. Anyone looking to move on

with their lives before that can also cancel their service at any point prior to the shutdown date and receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of their service, and you can of course rest assured that all MSN Direct-equipped car GPS devices will continue to function as basic nav units after the shutdown.

Do you want to a Google Navigation video hands-on?

We apologize for fanish, but Google snatched something with its new gps navigation items in Google Maps (or Google Maps is he in a navigation application? It is difficult to say) that has serious consequences for an industry navigation system used for charging money for functionality. The

introduction of satellite view, a touch of good taste of street view (Peep a still of your next turn, or visit your destination), and of course quite normal, like spoken directions and street names and voice recognition applied to Google search (anywhere on the device just tap voice search and start your sentence with "navigate to") make this offer a nice surprise for what is essentially a free application the purchase of an android 2.0 device. The biggest worry is that if you lose the signal you will not be able to draw maps, but that is not the entire plan caching, it not cache a route when you enter, as long as you do not stray too far from the beaten path, it should go down with a signal here or there. But enough of our blather, watch a video after the break .

Details of 3D cable demo at Cable-Tec emerge

We have Motorola's official blog friends have just come back from checking out the cable Mari three-dimensional presentation - Tec and be able to dig in addition to sharing her impression of some additional details. She said that the overall circular polarization and active are "looking good", but each increase is due to the different set-top boxes, it is difficult to achieve a fair presentation shutter A to B comparison. This also enables us still do not know how compatible these two kinds of three-dimensional display technology - we suspect that they are compatible, this is proven as the delivery of IPTV and the QAM way. The most interesting question is the fact that, in order to the new Multi-view video coding technology, thanks to three-dimensional flow requres is only about 30 percent throughtput then in the same two-dimensional image. This is not as much as possible Matsushita claimed that the new three-dimensional

requirements of Blu-ray specifications, this is still lower than the estimated 50. Another thing that we do not know whether to leave the demonstration of frame rate, but earlier this week confirmed CableLabs demonstration of 1080, while telecommunications engineers have been added to 60 frames per second in 1080 of its encoding standard. We assume that the frame rate must be at least 30 frames per eye, but because otherwise the situation is likely to significantly annoying flicker ..

Good quality but the price is not very good.

Thus, local authorities reported to conceal deposit twenty thousand pounds of the research team to the event down a huge speeding ticket decision-making.

REPORT: Jeep Wrangler safe from CARB "Cool Cars" proposal

Remember that California's Cool Cars regulation? To come into effect in 2012, the rule requires the manufacturer to install Windows, to prevent vehicles from entering the 2014 45% of solar energy, 60%, to 2016. This is the law, no one would think that is cool. In Golden State's growing environmental regulations of the small victories (and our life there is love, but still ...), the soft-top Jeep Wrangler is said to be exempted.

In particular, any flexible plastic window exemption. California Air Resources Board's representative said that, if it is hard plastic window, "they must follow the same standard windows, from the 2012 model." If there is no flexibility in the window exemptions, Chrysler will not be allowed to California sales and soft-top Wrangler, because it's plastic windows would not be up to standard. Chrysler's global electric vehicle, (GEM) is also under threat, but now from a regulatory and safety.


As for other questions - radio wave interference, reduce global positioning system and other Signals - California Air Resources Board, said, and did not find any in their testing and so on. But who knows, the current Jeep to get a pass that could allow manufacturers to sell in California, every car and flexible Windows ... how cool would that be?

Geely's plans to buy Volvo from Ford unravelling over intellectual property concerns?

Ford has been trying to unload since December 2008, Volvo brand, but after years of rumors and speculation that the 10 months is more like a 10-year feel. China's Geely has been speculation that the figure, a blue oval Swedish luxury brand bidding, but Bloomberg News reported that the long-awaited agreement may be due to excessive hold Ford's intellectual property rights.

Since Volvo is so tightly integrated into Ford's product development, any buyer of the safety awareness of car manufacturers will be within the blue oval's future product plans, access to the latest and best technical expertise. The buyer will also go directly to Ford's structure, because there are so many people to share themselves with Volvo. In fact, if lucky to buy Volvo, these platforms, through the excellent European and U.S. crash test standards do, it can be to China's largest car into the coveted U.S. market. And to help Chinese car to enter the United States may not be in the list of things Ford wanted to do, and now the top.

U.S. and European car companies have been trying to contain China's loose intellectual property rules their hands full. By the Chinese car electronics manufacturer to build a number of vehicles and the Great Wall to sell the land, only vehicles from the United States for more replication. , Japanese and European car manufacturers ... save the new logo. Ford also faces a Xiang Dong rain, of course, Ford's engineers, who stole sensitive and confidential 4000 Dearborn, rice paper-based car manufacturers situation. In the sticky fingers engineer allegedly stolen car in Shanghai in order to obtain work, but he may be employed by the Beijing auto document.




Ford may face another problem is the cheap price tag-based Volvo rumors in recess due to years of sales and huge losses to provide. Ford bought Volvo in 1999, more than six billion U.S. dollars, GPS navigations that sales of the brand, the Swedish car manufacturers can now get 2 billion U.S. dollars are familiar with as little as possible. Although this amount is not useless, and Ford may be better to wait until hot backup car market gain. The new Volvo XC60 crossover will help curb the sale of the plight of the United States point out here that the Swedish car manufacturer to achieve a 16% sales increase in September last year. Next year's introduction of several redesigned cycle face lift can continue to help the short-term prospects for the Volvo S60 with the.

The 1986 Ford Taur-US, For US!

The 20th century 80s. This decade has given us Knight Rider, Gobots, jeans and poofy hair volume also produced a lot of bad cars. There are some good, but also, and in 1986 Taurus at the top of the list. In the new Taurus in time near an instantaneous phenomenon, because it is more than 20 million in the first year of sales with the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award and the one on the car and the driver's 10Best list of points accumulated.

Fair warning: If you look at it you might think that Taurus is America's cars, is what you have been looking for brainwashing ads. It took place in Cardiff, and may happen to you.

How to pick a good Wiper Blade

Wipers generally, there are two types of current, a leisure break the traditional style, which is generally the most common wipers, there are three sections to four sections, ranging from the driver's attention in accordance with rain conditions, as well as make adjustments. Another raindrop sensor type, in recent years, many types of vehicles used in high-class, the not yet popular.

How to pick a good Wiper Blade?

First, be clear about your car using a kind of specification wiper blades, can refer to the attendant manual, take a look at the above specified wiper models, or drive to the parts store, so that staff look at what used to of a leaf. In general, the wiper blades will be accompanied with metal poles for sale, seldom leaves sold separately, of course, leaves even the sting of the price expensive. If your confused, allowing parts store clerk to help identification.

Second, pay attention to strut connected to the wiper arm match the way, because some of the arm is fixed to the rocker arm screws, while others are used to build point of convex button lock, and to buy time to remember attention.

Third, pull up the wiper with fingers after cleaning the rubber wiper on-chip touch, check whether there is damage, and how the flexibility of rubber blade. If the leaf aging, hardening, cracks, this film failed wiper.

Fourthly, during the trial, it will be placed wiper switch positions at various speeds to check whether the different wiper speeds to maintain a certain speed. Especially in the continuous working state, but also pay attention to whether in sports Wiper Blade maintain a certain speed.

Fifth, check the wiper status, and the existence of Wiper strut swing uneven or omitted to scrape phenomenon. If the following three conditions, indicating that this failure Wiper Blade.

1, swing to flow, and wipers do not normally beat.

2, rubber contact surfaces and glass surfaces can not fully fit, and the formation wipe residue.

3, wipe the glass surface after the water film present state of the glass to generate a small stripes, fog, and sun visor car DVD.

Sixth, the trial should pay attention to whether the abnormal motor throat sound, particular attention is when the wiper motor "hum" do ring without rotation, indicating mechanical transmission part of the wiper dead or stuck with rust where, when wiper switch should be closed immediately to prevent burning of motors.

Seventh, the wiper blade is not longer the better. Some people would be naive to think that the longer the length of the wiper blades, brush the area of the larger field of vision as possible? Right is not right. Course lengthened wiper-length, allows us to increase the field of vision when driving in the rain, the visible range, but will also increase the relative wiper motors, wiper stroke burden. However, films such as the wipers are one of the DIY parts and easy to install things, the owner is often less likely to pay attention to whether the length is too long trails loaded until the time the results of two wiper brush even fight, so of course to be lengthened if they do not impede the normal operation of wipers can be.

Why the Car Wiper Failure

    Many experts believe that wiper films should be every 6 months to 12 months for time to get a good line of sight. This is because the films can not be durable wiper. Natural rubber is necessary to degenerate over time, halogen hard rubber and synthetic rubber relatively long life span. But all types of wiper films will deteriorate due to environmental factors.
Even if the use of frequent exposure to sunlight and exposure to ozone also cause Wiper Blade aging. The use of the process, Wiper Blade gradually lost most of his curly flexibility is getting scratch is not clean. Because they will maintain a fixed curly state, and apple can not be well attached.

    This phenomenon is more likely to happen in the day parked in the open air parking lot vehicles. Sunshine will be baked hard rubber.When the wiper is used, they would scrapings stripes or have noise, because the rubber has hardened shape and can not conform to the curvature of the glass. This is very annoying, and dangerous.
The cold weather also affect the life of the Wiper Blade. The cold air will make rubber hard and brittle, easy to crack. Rocker is sometimes snow and ice jamming, resulting in Wiper Blade can not even force, resulting in scraping pieces of glass in the sweep when the beating, which appears corrugated.

    Also make use of over-blowing film damage, dust, small particles, splashing mud on the road point of even small insects in the sap will be blunt scraping edge films, there is no scraping edge will not clean. As the blade shapes are precisely designed in order to maximize Wiper effect, with a 3.5" GPS Navigation System , the water will fall from the doctor blade in the past, but also stay in the windshield. The result is windshield wiper condition deteriorated, blurred.

Excellent owners club to remind you: Wiper Blade need to replace once every six months to one year in order to ensure traffic safety .

Wiper Frequently Asked Questions

Ribbon
Undue pressure or upper arm rod structural damage, or even improper installation caused by wiper piece.

Mist
As the oily layer of the film distributed in the windshield wiper actuation, usually due to dirty or sun visor monitor wax effects are often contaminated rubber have this phenomenon.


Fine bead-like
When the wipers sweep the windshield, some small water droplets attached to the glass surface, this phenomenon Vehicle sticky wax or a silicide film on the windshield or the rubber itself caused.


Kata sounds or other noise
Irregularities occurred in the wipers when shaving brush, most of the rubber wear, rubber boom damage caused by variant.


Fuzzy and stripes
A number of reasons may cause this phenomenon, such as improper installation of rubber wear or dirty glass is possible.

Rose phenomenon
Today's vehicles, a common phenomenon in the air mechanics, particularly in long-sized wipers, swept through the windshield when the wipers scraping the surface due to move up by the wind which resulted in some not to brush scraping, there is this phenomenon

Information about Reverse Parking Sensors

Typically, Reverse Parking Sensors by the ultrasonic sensors (commonly known as probes), controller and display (or buzzer), etc. components. Reversing radar generally use the principle of ultrasonic ranging, under the control of the controller by the ultrasonic sensor firing signals when encountering obstacles, the resulting echo signals, sensors received echo signal by the controller, data processing, determine obstacle location, the distance from the monitor display and send to other warning signals, timely warning, so that motorists be aware of when reversing to make reversing easier. In a few years time, as technology development and user needs change, reversing radar, after a roughly six-generation development.



The first generation Reverse Parking Sensors through the speaker reminded. "Reversing Please note that"! Must have a lot of people still remember the sound, which is reversing radar, the first generation of products, and now only a small part of the commercial vehicles still in use. As long as the driver hung up reverse, it will ring to remind the attention of people around. In a sense, it is not directly help the driver, not a true reversing radar. Cheap, basic products are eliminated.

The second generation: The buzzer different voice prompts the driver. This is the real beginning of reversing radar system. Reverse, if the rear 1.8 m -1.5 m obstructions buzzer will start working. Buzzing sound more urgent, said the vehicle away from the barrier closer. But there is no voice prompts, nor from the show, although the drivers know there are obstacles, but obstacles are not sure how far away from the car on the driver very helpful.

Third Generation: Digital-band show a specific distance or distance range. This generation than the second-generation improved a lot, you can display rear obstacle distance from the body. If it is an object, at 1.8 m starting to show; if the people at a distance of about 0.9 m starting to show. This generation of products are two kinds of display, digital display products, from the figures show, while the band display products from the three kinds of color difference: green represents a safe distance; yellow warning distance; red dangerous distance, to stop reversing. The third generation of digital and band together, but more practical, but it is not installed in the car beautiful.

Fun GPS navigation systems

The GPS navigation instrument in recent years, the rise in the market, it appears to people's travel has brought a lot of convenience. Cast aside the heavy maps, the driver entered the destination as long as car navigation systems, the system will be under the built-in electronic map automatically calculates the most suitable route, and in vehicles at any time during the trip to remind motorists to pay attention. Throughout the moving process, the drivers do not have to consider the routing problem, even in completely unfamiliar city, Navigator will automatically lead to an established destination for the driver OK.

While the 1.5 inch GPS navigation systems because of its professionalism, convenience and an increasing number of car owners of the concern, but there are still many consumption on the concept of GPS navigator confused, so let's open a literacy reprint, universal access to one point on the GPS navigation systems of knowledge.

What is a GPS navigator?

To put it simply, GPS navigation systems is the ability to help users to accurately locate the current location, and calculated in accordance with established travel destination, through the map display and voice prompts guide the user in two ways trip to the destination of the motorist auxiliary equipment.

It consists of two major components: First, global positioning system (Global Positioning System) referred to as GPS. It is from space satellites, ground control and user receiver such as three major components. In space, there are 24 satellites to form a distribution network, located in six separate 20 thousand kilometers from the ground, tilt angle of 55 ° of the Earth's quasi-synchronous orbit, each orbit has four satellites. GPS satellites orbit the earth every 12 hours a week, anywhere in the planet capable of simultaneously receiving 7 to 9 satellite signal. The ground control station, and a total of five monitoring stations are responsible for satellite monitoring, telemetry, tracking and control. They are responsible for each satellite observations to the master control station to provide observation data. Master station receipt of data, each satellite to calculate the exact location at every moment, and through three injection station will send it up to the satellite, the satellite and then the data via radio waves to the ground-launched to the user receiver equipment .

Note: This system was originally proposed by the U.S. armed forces in the 20th century, was jointly developed by 70 years, its main purpose is to land, sea and air to provide real-time three main areas, all-weather and global navigation services for intelligence gathering, nuclear explosion monitoring and emergency communications and some other military purposes, is a major global strategy for the deployment of U.S. hegemony. GPS system after more than 20 years of research laboratories at a cost of 30 billion U.S. dollars, until March 1994 global coverage of up to 98% of the 24 GPS satellite constellation was formally laid to complete. Now GPS System is not only limited to the military field, but rather developed to car navigation, atmospheric observations, geographic surveying, marine rescue, protection, manned spacecraft exploration and other fields.

Second, a car GPS navigation system. Light a GPS system is also not enough, it is only capable of receiving GPS satellites to send data to calculate the user's three-dimensional position, direction and velocity and time information, there is no path to computing power. Users in the hands of GPS receiving equipment in order to achieve route navigation function also need to include a complete hardware, electronic maps, navigation software, including car navigation systems

Emergency situations quickly turning skills

For a person who like drive, it is absolutely not to miss a F1 Formula One car for each, but unfortunately that kind of track and cars, but not ordinary people have the opportunity to try a maximum of only in the heart Psycholagny look.
May be a romantic French guy knows this truth, so he organized a Sega King of Kings Challenge. Now the second phase, "Brave, Betty," has ended, to see online presentation and wonderful picture, I am a bit jealous in the challenge, their cheese.
By the impact of the activities, a recent drive cornering is also interested in full. Although he did not chance to try, but some experience of cornering, or can we share!
Dynamic high-speed cornering
In general the corners, and we always followed, "before turning deceleration before the acceleration out of bends," the same theory, but it is difficult to make four-wheel-drive vehicle tail-flick easy cornering, unless they are using the skill, or else really is not easy! However, if the "rally-style" anti-natural law, you can become relaxed and comfortable, but the prerequisite is: skilled.
In order to achieve the "throw" effect, into the corner before the first oil revenues right foot to leave the accelerator pedal, this time the focus moved to the front more, and then quickly turn the steering wheel and a half circle, when the feeling of rear displacement, immediately to the steering wheel Anti-dozen semi-circle, then slowly out of amendments to bend the steering wheel to the correct location. Cool composure is absolutely necessary, do Bieluan the ground, or quickly turn the steering wheel to amend a curved position, otherwise the body will cause instability. Of course, with four-wheel drive Quattro system features, letting the wheels grip in slippery or uneven ground conditions, is able to make the best of the torque distribution in order to obtain the best control and security.
Dynamic snake to avoid
Under normal circumstances, the drivers evade obstacles on the road when turning the steering wheel and the reduction was not a small event of a continuity dodge, you may feel a bit to control vehicles can not. The main reason is that, when the steering wheel, the greater the rotation rate, the body will produce so-called "pendulum effect", with the rate of larger magnitude of body sway is also relatively increased, this way, but will reduce the danger caused by the stability of body .
Therefore, the correct usage of the steering wheel should be turning the steering wheel and then to put it back into positive (as far as possible to keep the car in the middle of the road), back to the oil and slowly come back to the body to maintain stability, to reduce the oscillation amplitude; However, this must be very to reach a state of calm pity that normal driving, when confronted with unexpected situations, it is normally running around in circles, cool is the opponents are, please do not Meng turn the steering wheel, otherwise it will make the car more difficult to manage.
ABS brakes
Every driver knows, you can use Peverse parking senmsor systems, but the most difficult to detect that the brake at the same time the number of forces can dodge danger; At present, many vehicles are equipped with ABS (Anti-lockBrakingSystem) anti-lock braking system capable of braking effect will be to play to the limit, and further to maintain road safety.
ABS is a very common claim to the safety features, this innovative technology, primarily to effectively shorten the braking distance in order to achieve the best possible safety effects; However, many drivers do not know how to properly use this device, often makes ABS can not play its due role.
Drivers in emergency braking will find that under heavy braking pedal, the pedal can feel the vibration of the transmission back to the obvious, but the car is still straight Zhaoqian Fang "clash" to; In fact, Sun visor monitor, to prevent the vehicle before the shift of the non-ABS come out of the real meaning, because the proper use of this technology is to allow drivers in emergency braking occasion been able to turn the steering wheel to avoid the hazards.
Whether is a dynamic high-speed cornering, dynamic snake or emergency braking to avoid, calm manner in order to control the direction the steering wheel in order to ensure vehicle safety car finally hope that all persons in the enjoyment of driving pleasure, as when safety comes first!

Before FAW listed seven problems must break

Four years ago, Dongfeng listed in Hong Kong, taken as a whole. One year on, SAIC also parts company with its smooth realization of the overall market, followed by the rapid expansion of the two companies taking the pace of development. However, as the "Republic of the eldest son" of the FAW Group has listed the road seems relatively slow. In March 2006, FAW was the external expression of the wish of the overall market. While the next two years, China's stock market, auto market all the way climb up the outside environment, Reverse parking sensor Unfortunately, the FAW for various reasons could not catch the stock market's "ride." Now, faced with the outside world as a whole listing of speculation FAW, FAW has given "temporarily listed as a whole," answer. What is behind this kind of unspoken difficulties do?

Difficult one: public method Mi Ju

"This year, basically impossible." Recently, rumors against the FAW listed as a whole, Zhang Xin, an auto analyst at Guotai Junan that issued a clarification notice in the FAW, this year is not the market.

However, things calm, but the wind will not subside. FAW listed in within the "discretion" at the same time, the outside world has maintained its market speculation.

Opportune time to find

In 2005, Dongfeng Motor Group in Hong Kong to achieve the overall IPO market; in 2006, SAIC Shanghai Automotive to achieve the overall backdoor listing. Subsequently, the two companies have achieved rapid development.

Last year, FAW, SAIC and Dongfeng's sales were 1.53 million, 1.72 million, 132 million units, sales of the three growth rates were 6.75%, 10.72%, 16.12%. The leading face of SAIC and Dongfeng in hot pursuit, as "the eldest son of the Republic" and FAW pressure is self-evident. The FAW Group, though they have four A-share listed companies, asset securitization rate is not high.

"It was almost SAIC, Dongfeng Motor Group also started operating two public work, the other two although experiencing some difficulties, but eventually realized the market, but only listed FAW Group as a whole has yet to progress." An understanding of FAW insider revealed that listing.

It is understood that in 2007, the SASAC delineation of the 30 listed central enterprises the overall list, the name of FAW Group, already in the column. According to the SASAC plans to complete the 30 companies should be the overall time to market by 2010.

The face of China's auto market this year, the "thriving", FAW due to coaching change, the internal re-enable the listing and other related issues stranded.

"In fact, not in a hurry now listed FAW. It is understood that a large domestic banks to prepare specifically for the FAW of 100 billion yuan, as long as the FAW needs, ready to lend to it." Zhang Xin told reporters, "Do you choose next year's listing, depends on the timing of the grasp. FAW can not dwell on their own a better price, but also for shareholders, the market is responsible. "

"Packaged" or "spin"

In fact, the program listing on the FAW as a whole, such as car sun visor monitor the most attention is how to market, that is, "listing package" or "spin-off market."

As Previously, Zhu Yanfeng made it clear that the overall integration of the listing of the FAW Group's assets, to raise their own brand development finance an effective way. Therefore, the speculation that the assets will be packaged into the FAW FAW cars most likely.

However, in this scenario involves Xiali the problem was from the Tianjin intervention. Because of Tianjin FAW Group as a whole are worried that once upon listing, FAW FAW Xiali be merged, thus affecting the development of automobile industry in Tianjin.

"Later, FAW began to consider spin-off listing of the different assets that is injected into different listed companies, and ultimately listed as a whole." Advice and suggestions have been listed for the FAW's Zhang Xin told reporters, "We give out the idea of FAW is to take additional directional Xiali as a platform to achieve the overall market. "

"Because, if the Xiali spun off, FAW Xiali will lose sales. So, and compared with Dongfeng, FAW would have had more than 200,000 Dongfeng and Dongfeng's vehicles into approximately the same. And, once gone Xiali , FAW Toyota has also left. because in FAW Toyota, the Xiali 30% of the shares, FAW Group, only 20% of the shares. so FAW Toyota, FAW Group, a further loss of about 30 million in sales. The general must register, FAW miles away where about 50 million people will lose sales. now FAW sales of about 1.5 million or so, if the lose 50 million units, on sales of only 1 million. Not Now Chang'an, Beijing Automotive are almost at this range. In this way, FAW is likely to have hardly had even four. "Zhang Xin explained," At that time, they also endorsed the program.

Tiida to increase the margin of preference

Tiida has been implied a steed that is the meaning of Maxima, and further explanation is that Qi Ji, Trinidad, gallop Schindler. Although the Tiida shorter than 190 mm, but it seemed to be more added to the Smart car, interior space without this shrink. Tiida since listing, popular with consumers. Recently, the author from a Nissan dealer in Shanghai Office was informed that the Tiida is currently a margin of preference to

Tiida is the Tiida hatchback in from the side view, Tiida softer lines, without the Tiida hatchback tail is even more refined, more fluid lines of the tail, c column side of the trapezoidal shape of sun visor monitor, there is the feeling under the contract, making the sinking tail generated visual effects, appears to be more stable body. A reasonable shape design, the drag coefficient Tiida has reached 0.297, 0.314 smaller than the Tiida's some of it.

With the sun visor DVD Player is different Tiida, there are two interior colors: black and light-colored. Black interior is more sporty, more suitable for young people. Tiida wheelbase of 2600mm, length / width / height 4205mm/1695mm/1540mm, where in its class is not great, but the front seats into the head space reached 960mm, rear space slightly smaller, but also reached 940mm. Tiida higher than the Golf's front height 70mm. Tiida's front and rear legroom is also the largest of its class, sitting Tiida, whether sitting in the front or the rear passengers can enjoy plenty of legroom.

Tiida Tiida adoption with the same engine performance in power have not been altered. Tiida is equipped with Nissan and Renault by the joint development of a new engine hr16de, in the world, China is the all-new engine the first user. Tiida in-line 4-cylinder engine used dual overhead camshaft dohc structure of a collection of cvtc (Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control) technology. It is based on state of the vehicle to control the intake and exhaust camshaft phase to ensure the best ignition timing, thus greatly improving the output torque and fuel economy, fuel consumption of only 5.6l/100km, compared with the same displacement engine reduction of 20%. At the same time using light-weight aluminum alloy aviation manufacturing technology, compared with the same level of the engine to reduce nearly 30% of the weight, so that 1.6l engine torque (153n/4400m), output power (80kw/rpm), fuel consumption (5.6l/100km ) Three caught with a higher technical level. Coupled with the engine uses variable valve timing, dual overhead camshafts and other technologies, all-aluminum inline four-cylinder arrangement, these are for the car to give the performance of unusual power.

Sun visor monitor for Cars

The summer, how can it make the car to become cool and pleasant? In addition to essential air-conditioning, explosion-proof film is almost well-known of these two "stuff", but also need some inconspicuous "dishes," such as sun visor monitor, cool car mats, car refrigerator, body seal, and so are be able to expel heat, and cooling taste better than "stuff" poor.

Vehicles parked, the front and car sun visor monitor can be prevented by placing direct sunlight so that temperatures inside the vehicle to achieve the cooling effect. Material are made mostly reflecting the role of a good texture synthesis of silver-gray plastic board. Placed in front windshield with a folding reflective sun visor monitormade of soft material, can also choose to shade sticky notes, such as cartoon images of the "readily-for-sun visor," "stop anti-exposure" sticky notes, with easy to use. Some rely on static electricity is to be affixed, and some rely on suction cups affixed to, do not need laborious fixed, exposing a window, when the down gently, window glass, also does not leave any trace. The sun visor are generally one-way perspective, does not affect the line of sight. Recommends owners use folding sun visor, when the weather turns cool and do not Shihai easy to carry collapsible storage  save. Can not only heat, but also to protect the dashboard from exposure, not only protect the instrument panel, also enables the seats were not so hot. According to the tests show that 80% of the sun visor to block the sun glare, the owner of the car will not feel hot.
