While munching on peanuts and drinking soda in the Narita airport 1st passenger terminal in Japan you can now catch a glimpse of the dynamic world view of BMW cars in the “more than life size” kidney grille. This enormous grille (standing at a height of 2.3m and a width of 3.8m) includes two television monitors which are installed inside the "kidney grille".

Chery has unveiled a new MPV model, called the V5 at the Hangzhou Motor Show in The V5, which was originally unveiled at the 2004 Beijing Auto Show under the code name B14 is a 6-7-seater MPV developed with independent intellectual property rights. Chery was assisted by Lotus Engineering and a couple of Italian companies in the development of the new vehicle.
The car rides on a 2800 mm (110.2-in.) long platform. Main dimensions are: 4662 x 1820 x 1590 mm (183.5 x 71.6 x 62.6-in.). Standard equipment includes four airbags, ABS + EBD and traction control systems, electrically operated windows, GPS navigation, DVD player etc.
The new five-door Opel – Vauxhall Corsa, revealed in these pictures for the first time, is set to make its debut alongside the three-door version at this year’s British International Motorshow in The five-door offers the stylish design and driving dynamics of the sporty three-door model, but with added practicality that makes it more versatile than the average five-door supermini.
The bold, flowing lines of the five-door Opel Corsa have a strong, powerful appearance, yet despite its road presence the newcomer is only slightly larger than its predecessor – 183mm longer, 61mm wider and 52mm taller. It has a deliberately different look to the three-door, which is aimed at a younger, sportier market.
GM Europe’s design chief Bryan Nesbitt said; “Dynamics and functionality are not mutually exclusive. Our new five-door Opel Corsa, like its big brother Astra, renders a completely unique design for the three-door versus the five-door. In short, these are tailor-made cars for different types of customer.”
The excellent luggage space comes thanks to a clever new system known as ‘DualFloor’, where the load bay can be set on two different height levels thanks to a removable top floor panel. When removed, the top panel can be used as a vertical divider to separate the load bay into two sections, helping to prevent shopping from rolling around the load bay.
These flexible innovations complement other examples of Vauxhall’s latest technology, which will be offered across the range, including halogen AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting), Cornering Brake Control and an optional Panorama sunroof.
Prices and specifications for both three and five-door versions of New Opel Corsa will be announced when the model debuts at the British International Motor Show in July.
