You will not please everyone. New Toyota RAV4
Designers RAV4, it seems, really finally dismissed – in the sense, not home, but emotionally and documented. How else to explain the fact that the concept of FT-AC, shown last year, turned out to be almost an exact copy of the production model? Yes, with such an approach, it is unlikely that it will be possible to make housewives sit in RAV4 – but almost all the other “target groups” are unlikely to remain dissatisfied. Well, the Japanese are trying to delight the eye with gloss and gloss lovers with an exterior finish, which, however, is somewhat discordant with the image of the “space explorer”.
The bright image accompanies the logical transition of the model to the new GA-K platform of the TNGA architecture: this is exactly what makes the RAV4 related to the Camry, and at the same time to the Avalon and Lexus ES. However, this does not mean an absolute technical relationship – the machines simply scale according to a similar principle. There is 13 centimeters less space between the axles than the Camry, but 3 centimeters more than the old RAV4 – 2,690 millimeters. Continue reading
What’s up with DW Hower? Why “people dissolved”, and “dealers until the last kept in the dark”?
The other day we wrote about the situation with the DerVays plant in Cherkessk, which has not yet renewed the contracts for assembling Lifan and Chery cars for 2019, and now let’s try to figure out what is happening in Mikhailovsk at the Stavropol-Avto assembly plant. Is there a connection between these enterprises? Yes there is. In order to reveal it in detail, we need a separate large material, the place of which is, rather, on the pages of the business press. In this case, we have somewhat different tasks, so we simply note that there is a connection at the level of the founders, at the level of top management, at the level of kinship of people who at various times had a relation to both DerVais and Stavropol-Auto. . Such a connection is also traced through third companies. The China Automarket holds a special place in this chain. Continue reading
CAN YOU MIX MIXTURE OIL?
At the beginning motorists the question arises: is it possible to mix oils of different manufacturers, categories and viscosity classes? Let’s figure it out.
IF OIL IS DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS Any oil consists of a base and a set of additives that give the base oil-based individual qualities. The possible incompatibility of the fundamentals of different manufacturers is covered by the first problem – different manufacturers have different technologies and ways of producing the base, which in the end may have different physical properties (this is especially true of synthetics). Due to the unevenness of the bases, problems may arise when mixing enough identical synthetic oils, but from different manufacturers. Continue reading
