Volkswagen Beetle 53 Edition: Comes Herbie commemorative edition. No, no, do not panic, this is not a commemorative edition of the star of the movie "Herbie butt", in which he shared screen with Lindsay Lohan. No, far from it, this is another Herbie, a much more classic, the legendary Volkswagen Beetle that took part in the first version, the original, a few years before Disney decided to restore the car to suit expressive modern times. A commemorative edition of the classic is now offered for sale within the offer of the Volkswagen Beetle.

 This Volkswagen Beetle 53 Edition pays homage to the model starred in the 1968 version, which was entitled "The Love fireball", a film that, while not appearing Lindsay Lohan, the plot is quite similar to that of the production latest. Some similarities were observed in the case of adhesives and colors of Volkswagen, the exact same dress now this Volkswagen Beetle 53 Edition, which includes many numbers or adhesives.

A special decoration
True, the exterior decoration of this Volkswagen Beetle 53 Edition has its appeal, but it is difficult to imagine anyone who is not a devotee of the classic film, or who wants to feel like Lindsay Lohan (who also and there), that anime to buy a Beetle with colors so particular and recognizable. The truth is that the work is very well done homage, because at first glance all remember that peculiar Herbie.

The Volkswagen Beetle 53 Edition has the dorsal number "53" memorial, celebrating the year when the first Beetle came to market, the stickers in red and blue along the entire top (from the bonnet to the rear bumper ) and to the underside of the doors, and the current logo of the Beetle replaced by the classic Beetle and specific tires. All this for a car with an aroma retro racing of the most fun, along the lines of the original Beetle special editions weve seen in Spain, as the Beetle mania.

Available in almost the entire range
the truth is that, despite what we think we in the German itself to believe that this special issue will have a good reception from the public, why have incorporated it as an option to nearly the entire range the Volkswagen Beetle, except in the most powerful version, which incorporates the turbo gasoline engine. A decision that could define as curious, since in principle a car with sporty looks, even for classic races, could request a more capable engine.

Apart from all these remarks, what remains is that the legendary Herbie, Herbies classic, one that came before color televisions were something for everyone, and has its unique tribute, one promoted by the brand itself I stood up. A tribute called Edition 53 Volkswagen Beetle which will see if it happens to be a funny story or something reaches the hole made in the market.

New Subaru Forester. Subaru has two pictures and some minimal information on the brand new Forester released. The fourth generation Forester will end this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show debut and after the summer of 2013 in Europe at the dealers are driven inside.

A big surprise, the two Subaru released photos not, we have thanks to a leaked brochure because a first impression. But nevertheless we can be excited by the progress that has been made Subaru compared to its predecessor nevertheless very dated. The nose - which is clearly in agreement with the XV - smoelt good and for Subaru definitely a foundation for the future.

Boxer
What the Forester is concerned, the future is not even that far away. Homeland in Japan and in the United States, the new Subaru Forester this year are available. In Europe we have to wait until after the summer of 2013. And partly because it is still guess at details. Subaru indicates that the Forester is available with a 170 hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and a 2.0 liter measuring specimen with a turbo that generates 250 hp. But whether these two sources also Europe will achieve is completely unknown.
SUV

AWD is standard on all models, just as it befits a genuine Subaru. The Japanese have also know a lot to have been tampered with offroad characteristics that make the Forester it has to be stronger than ever. In order to emphasize the SUV character delivers Subaru things like a reversing camera, Harman / Kardon audio system and large color display with lots of entertainment features. Finally bear the increased dimensions therein undoubtedly a bit.

The car’s performance skills will become impossible to forget in day-to-day driving, because of the Active Sound Design, which makes the sound created by the engine while functioning enter the cabin. This technology specially created for the new BMW M5 uses the car’s sound system to accurately reproduce the engine’s sounds.

The digital system exchanges data directly with the engine management, allowing it to reflect the engine’s revs and torque, and the car’s speed over the road.

For example, Ford includes a sort of sound pipe that channels induction noise into the Mustangs cabin. BMW, on the other hand, has taken a different approach with the new BMW M5s Active Sound Design technology, which artificially replicates engine noise in the cabin using the stereo system.

What BMW has done is link the BMW M5s car stereo systems digital signal processor (DSP) into the engine management system, which allows the audio system to simulate the sound of a twin-scroll, twin-turbocharged V-8 engine in sync with the actual 560-horsepower mill humming away in the engine bay. BMW says that its Active Sound Design system accurately replicates the sound of the engine over the full range of RPMs, torque loads, and vehicle speeds. According to BMW, the Active Sound Design control unit ensures an even spread of sound across all five seats of the new BMW M5, while observing the legal guidelines governing noise emissions inside and outside the car.

Future customers of the new BMW M5 generation will feel the engine and exhaust system closer to them thanks to BMW’s innovation that brings the sound of the V8 and the exhaust inside the cabin, playing it using the car’s audio system.

According to the German automaker, the new system can be adjusted with the Sport, Sport+ or M buttons, which besides sharpening the car’s performance will also improve the sound inside the cabin.
