Toyota Alphard Vellfire

The 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire - two versions of the re-designed Alphard, has become available in the Japanese market as announced by Toyota.

The 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire now feature a new V6 3.5-liter Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) engine that is coupled with 6 Super ECT (Super Intelligent Electronically-controlled, Six-speed Automatic Transmission).

Equipped with the 2.4-liter VVT-i engine, the 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire now have an increased power output and feature a Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent).

The Alphard and Vellfire share a common theme of delivering a commanding presence and imparting an impressive high-quality feel based on the Toyota vehicle design philosophy of “Vibrant Clarity”. At the same time, while the Alphard pursues elegance and refinement in its design, the Vellfire emphasizes power and innovation, so that the two models strongly present separate, individual identities.

The model that VELLFIRE does to the car which is sisters of ALPHARD. Though ALPHARD turned into the second generation model in May, 2008, it matched and the model of Nets shop measures came to introduce themselves in ALPHARD of Toyopet shop service VELLFIRE.

A theme of VELLFIRE said to for ALPHARD which is strong at all when it that a difference to cope is an appearance design about VELLFIRE. almost, and it was done a device which pretended to be so as for the internal change constitution including the basics that specifications and compornents are so is beauty and senior improvement is the design that a difference is done a device of. It became the difference point by the big headlight turn and two steps of front part lattices took the design of the constitution. It is the same as ALPHARD that a plane model is set. Of 7 advance, and eight seats where that advance was set accomplish comfortable house space by a room and the size of the free seat device. Seven Secand sheet of advancing suffers from the particularly luxurious administrative power seat. The seat of the passenger with the sofa of the power is a standard of the senior class.

Though it was controlled with a low floor package with the thing which total height established newly, the basic platform found enough indoor quantity. The engine doing a device is two models (2.4L 3.5L V6 and straight4). super-CVT is united with six speed AT. It is the part that reinforced security equipment parts such as the pre-accident security system become a characteristic again.

2009 Nissan Murano

The daily output insists that Murano was the first crossover. Subaru gains the "privilege" for Forester. I think that probably the first crossover would be some transformation of the Model T. I build the Ladder frame or, no, you may determine it, and I do not always understand it what constitutes CUV or SUV. In addition, most trucks which the buyer pulls are that it says with the distinction that a semantician is hateful as adventure of the off-road. In other words, I do not mind. A more important problem is whether a specific vehicle looks (packing and the performance that it is necessary for it to survive). New Nissan Murano must still stand on a merit of its own again. Do you do so it?

During 2009, I mixed the daily output again rather than have invented Murano again. Next information uni-body trucklet is the same size as the version of before and basic form. I was important, and the thing of new Murano turned its back on an industry tendency toward the useless expansion equally, It is slightly heavier than the previous work. And, in spite of the abundant scale, the daily output resisted some kind of impulse I jumped and put it up, and to want to add a-type rear cushion and the position of seven claim - passengers.

The materials are first class though– especially if you opt for double-stitched leather. In fact, the LE serves as a showcase for Nissan's current cache of optional features: a headline grabbing dual-plane moon roof that covers both sets of seats, mood lighting that belongs in a loft-living bachelor's pad, a power lift gate and power-fold rear seats. The optional gizmology count is also high: a 9.3-gig music hard drive, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity and a key you can leave in your pants.

In spite of speed of the new discovery, a steering and the body float having light feather of Murano ridden Altima on do not have doubt to consider CX-9 of Mazda whether it is necessary for a corner sculptor to approach the Infinity EX (and, the top, stock) (the platform which is better in spite of size at the same level) which the wheel that Murano LE is 20 adds grip and enough o to, production for bounding drives about the collisions that, however, is big. Footwear, I who wore standard 18 can believe chassis hardness and a demand of the daily output of the noise that decreased that increased well. It proved a claim to hear hive transmission, In contrast with work in defiance of it, I had to make an effort to hear it.

The Murano is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the S 2WD to the LE AWD.

All trims are equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 265-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 23-mpg on the highway. A variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

RB1 Honda Odyssey Absolute

The Absolute transformation of their MPV/SUV resembles Honda lineup with a Type-R concept for their sporty model. As for the use of the Absolute label, it which, for example, is agreeable does so which is the approval of the fact that it invites too much compromise to namely true Odyssey Type-R in the core that there is not in streetable much as MPV/SUV in substitution for an "R" label to extract high enough levels of the performance from MPV or SUV to justify an "R" badge. And it does not make a lot of meanings equally, too. On the other hand, you must accept MPV which seems to be Odyssey for whom, their "car which are the master pivot" for the domestic reason that I want to recognize when there is still the person whom a performance is eager in, and give me Honda. For these earnest people, it does not always have to be dreary work that Honda runs MPV and shows a thought to be able to be a pleasure likewise. He can still choose the thing of "the absolute" as whom by a performance so that an "absolute" badge means Odyssey for a high-performance electric fan when it must drive a big race moving MPV - About MPV of the course.

The Odyssey Absolute is in many ways, more similar to the Civic SiR of old, a base model 'factory modified' for higher performance yet still retaining the luxuries of modern driving. For the Odyssey Absolute, this modification comes in the form of a higher-powered version of the base engine - a 200ps K24A that revs to 7000+rpm in place of the standard 160ps K24A revving to 6300rpm. To handle this power, the suspension too has been modified for better handling.

It is useful to watch Odyssey lineup in Japan to understand how Absolute harmonizes with standard Odyssey. In Odyssey to go to for JDM on a line, Honda markets a normal version in four "types" and Odyssey Absolute as highest grade transformation. The torque converter possessed the shifter which continued to a CVT gearbox or five speeds automatic gearbox the normal version posted the 160ps version of the K24A DOHC i-VTEC engine of 2.4l and and it was matched a person in charge with even which. There are FF and a 4WD version as always. Regular Odyssey is availabe of four "types". And we are called Odyssey Type B, S, M and L. And We are different from equipment parts only in an option. We know standard bodykit (bodykit same as it on Absolute) as "Aero Package" which appearance they are and can use most types voluntarily. Honda markets Odyssey M and Odyssey M.Aero-Package in this way. And a main differentiation factor is fitment of bodykit.

On the other hand, Odyssey Absolute of the range top comes only in one transformation. Plane package bodykit is normal. It is characterized by a wheel of big 18 inches than we attach 225/45 tires. The typical cord is slightly different from standard Odyssey - DBA-RB1 (for FF) vs. ABA-RB1. A price was pounding the official specifications for ABA-RB1 Odyssey where Absolute was so at a right table. This table comes from the formal Odyssey page in the Honda Motor Corporation website (for JDM).

If we compare Absolute with regular Odyssey, and the greatest difference is engine specifications. While both of them had a K24A engine of same 2.4l, one on Absolute was revised for louder power. VTEC is used on an intake and an exhaust cam now and the compression ratio that is higher than 0.8 point between the other changes sends an extra in 40ps from substitution of same 2.4l. Odyssey Absolute comes only by 5-spd car equipped with shifter which continued. However, I do the gear ratio with the remainder same as a normal version. While regular Odyssey is Odyssey and measures a L.K- package entering at weight same as Absolute between 1,700kg according to 1,600kg or more option, Absolute is weight of big 1,700kg.

Under the bonnet/hood, the K24A engine offers a similar look compared to the standard 160ps unit. The large black valve cover has been replaced with a white-coloured one of identical size and design. The 'i-VTEC 2.4 DOHC' plate is now in red-colour lettering instead of black. The intake manifold, partially hidden by the huge valve cover is clearly a different design, spotting much shorter runners and a larger plenium, obviously tuned for greater high-rpm air-flow. The air-filter box assembly however is the same though I didn't actually open the filter box up to see if the filter is the same or not. The Absolute's K24A is DBW (Drive-By-Wire) as well. Overall, not a very much different look considering the 40 extra horses.
