isuzu d max ute 7 cars usa toyota ft hs

isuzu d max ute 7 cars usa toyota ft hs Underneath the bonnet lies the same reliable and potent 3.0-litre diesel engine that you’ll find in a Holden Colorado. It develops 120kW of power and 360Nm of torque if you opt for the five-speed transmission. To improve the life of those with an automatic transmission, torque is reduced slightly to 333Nm, but you’ll hardly notice the difference.Let’s be honest, utes are pretty blunt instruments on the road and this remains a little uncivilised, the limited slip differential will be a benefit on soft or slick grounds, but day-to-day it does grace the D-Max with oversteer tendencies that can have the tail out unexpectedly if you have a bit of a lead foot. Once the weight of a trailer comes on though, you’ll have class-leading traction, which adds stability at speed. There’s also an excellent electronically-controlled 4WD systems that can switch between 2WD, 4WD and low ratio gearing at the push of a button in isuzu d max ute 7 cars usa toyota ft hs. Retail pricing isn’t where I think it should be. Our top spec tester starts at $54,990 for the manual, $57,990 for the two-pedalled option – sure, for that money you get the strong tow capacity and offroad ability, one of the more comfortable ute interiors around, MP3 compatible audio, fog lights, a 120 watt 12 v adapter – for additional coolers, etc – in the dash, a leather-bound steering wheel, cruise control and dual front airbags. Disappointingly, and I criticise the Colorado similarly for this, you won’t receive side airbags to help protect you in a side impact – these are now increasingly available in D-Max’s competitors like the BT-50, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton. And based purely on sticker price, Isuzu is asking several thousand more than Holden is for the Colorado. It would be nice if the brand could undercut more established brands in the market; still there is a reassurance here as actual transaction pricing is evidently lineball with Holden. Don’t be afraid to haggle with the dealer.
A isuzu d max ute 7 cars usa toyota ft hs sculpted front and rear remove mass around key functional components, while the roof has a distinctive scooped-out section designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and provide head room at the key areas. The FT-HS's interior features create a dedicated driver's cockpit that includes a cross-car instrument panel structure and delta-wing driver pod. An integrated instrument panel surrounds the driver, creating an enclosed pod effect. Armrests flow seamlessly into the door and surrounding interior. Seating is optimized for a lightweight appearance and function: The seating accommodates four and then converts to a two-seater when the roof retracts, speaking of which, there’s no concerns about after-sales support, Isuzu utes will basically piggy back off Hyundai New Zealand’s current dealer operations. So there are plenty of sales/service agents throughout the country.

Boasting a powerful V6 3.5L engine, the FT-HS is coupled with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive® to produce a target power output of approximately 400 horsepower and a projected zero-to-60 acceleration in the four-second range. At a mid-priced market position, the FT-HS would be a true "attainable exotic" with 21st-century performance. That’s not to say it’s shy about doing the hard yards as a tow vehicle for the boat, caravan or fifth wheeler. isuzu d max ute 7 cars us xxx toyota ft hs The entry level two-wheel drive variations can still lug a hefty 2500kg; our top spec 4WD double cab competes with all the usual suspects by offering a three-tonne tow capacity. Testament to the D-Max’s durability, Isuzu New Zealand is touring a Thailand farmer’s 2004 model around the country, a vehicle that was grossly overloaded every day of it’s life, carting three to four tonnes of payload over its tray and driving 400km to market before coming back and repeating the journey the next day. Despite the abuse the D-max racked up 1.4 million miles and is still going strong. Key to the D-Max’s renowned ability is a heavy duty ladder chassis, reinforced with eight high strength cross members to proportion load with less stress on the vehicle isuzu d max ute 7 cars us xxx toyota ft hs.

isuzu d max ute 7 cars us new toyota ft hs Pairing a potent hybrid powertrain with essential sports-car fundamentals, the FT-HS is a mid-priced sports car that integrates ecology and emotion in a concept that addresses the question, "What is a suitable sports car for the 21st century, the Holden Rodeo was always built – in Thailand, like the majority of light commercial utes – under license to the Japanese Isuzu brand. Long story short, there was a bit of a bust up between isuzu d max ute 7 cars us new toyota ft hs, which is why Holden no longer uses the Rodeo nameplate, opting instead for the current Colorado badge. But essentially Holden’s very popular beasty and this are still the same thing. Now, this is where it gets a little confusing. The most notable difference being is that the Isuzu D-Max ute retains the old Rodeo styling circa 2005. No dramas, I always thought it was a pretty contemporary design, so even years on, this first of Isuzu’s new wave of vehicles since re-launching here this year is still pretty attractive isuzu d max ute 7 cars us new toyota ft hs.

Latest Bentley Continental GT

Our spies have been able to catch Bentley's heavily revised Continental GT, entirely exposed. Our very own spies reported being contacted by security, which unfortunately proceeded to remove the pics from their digital cameras, save for one storage card that escaped with high quality front shots. The future Bentley Continental GT coupe is predicted to hit the marketplace in early 2011, however we have exceptional high-res pictures that display exactly how the next volume leading Bentley will look like.

The frontal fascia of the Bentley Continental GT has been given a comprehensive re-working. The front fenders have been smoothed out, as well as the mirrors and front bumper. The lower part of the auto gains the addition of a long chrome-based accent strip, covering all the way to the back bumper. The front lights seem to have been improved, and perhaps house L.E.D. lights along with projectors. Judging by the rough edges apparent on the lower fascia in close proximity to the new honeycomb radiator grille, this Bentley Continental GT appears to be a pre-production model.

According to a review by Automobile magazine, the next Continental GT versions will probably be structured heavily on Audi's A8 flagship car unit, rather than the very much heavier Volkswagen Phaeton structure. The move will effect in a reduced front overhang, a far more appealing and extended wheelbase, in addition to a larger track size. The end result is a much more luxurious vehicle, superior handling and more room for occupants and cargo. One main advantage of adopting the A8's platform is the switch to a largely aluminum spaceframe, which drops approximately four hundred lbs of undesired weight from the automobile. Even though still very far from a lightweight, the next Bentley Continental GT should certainly weigh-in at a a lot more reasonable four thousands and eight hundreds lbs..

Below the hood expect the trustworthy W-12 which supports so many Bentley models, and as often, it has been changed to output something in the realm of five hundreds and eighty hp and 515 lb-ft of torque. The W12 will probably be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. For the sport-oriented and premium priced "Speed" versions, count on power to be in the realm of 650 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. There's also supposition that a 4.2-liter 375 hp, five hundreds and ninety lb-ft of torque turbo diesel might make its way into a different Continental version. The 2011 Continental GT will most likely make its formal introduction at the 2010 Paris Automobile Show .

Honda's hybrid CR-Z

All this is provided by a 1.5 litre VTEC four-cylinder with Honda's IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) hybrid system. The 60mph from rest benchmark comes up in just under ten seconds - not a figure that will set the world alight, but enough in a compact and lightweight hatch to have some fun, especially on UK roads.
