Revenue stamp collection market grew hot

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

In the 60th anniversary of founding of the PRC State Administration of Taxation issued two new stamps, with the names of “Peony Phoenix” and the “story of the ancient sages of China”, each are 9. Factorial design overhangs, delicate patterns, and get blown away by many collectors of. The “story of the ancient sages of China” is a famous contemporary Chinese scholar, painter, poet Fan Zeng’s works, and “Peony Phoenix” is one of the Lingnan School of Painting Zhou Yansheng ten famous masterpiece. Interestingly, revenue stamps are the same today as in the issuance of common forms of sheets, there are mini-panes, souvenir sheets and Xiao Benpiao, people feel the endless collection of fun.

As our fourth set of tax receipt issued by a serious design topics, beautifully designed, highly ornamental, so collectors for tax receipt purposes, as good as a big shock, combined with the control of circulation and collection of the upgrade, even an otherwise deserted The tax receipt collections activities, all of a sudden sharp warming phenomenon. The past two years, with the subsequent launch in succession of various special tax receipt, tax receipt collections group is expanding year by year, and out of the past, the Chinese tax receipts collected in the desolate world with no one situation.

Long tax stamps

It should be said, since the last century with the stock 90’s launch in China, people are not familiar with the name of the stamp duty, after all, who each in stock, buy and sell at the occasion be required to pay stamp duty, but the stock is in electronic transactions, so who really is not much to see in-kind tax stamps. Most people usually see in-kind revenue stamps, mainly in the property card.

So, what is the revenue stamps it? The so-called revenue stamps are printed and sold by the tax department of a stamp duty payment receipt, mainly for commercial activities, transfer of property, rights, permits, licenses and other acts of receiving the book stand, use, receive a certificate granted for a certain amount of charge tax of a tax. Since the face value of a certain stamp duty, stamp the form and is very close, plus a number of countries in special periods, often form a common phenomenon stamps and fiscal stamps, such as China Qing Dynasty The red stamp on once for the stamps to use, and these increases Cover of “The red” stamp became the early stamps of China’s treasures. Thus, in Jicang industry people often call the two “Sisters”, and some early collectors who confuse the two because the distinction, often as a stamp collection of the tax stamps.

What is surprising is that in 1991 the International Philatelic Federation made a decision to tax stamps as a branch of the stamps can be set to participate in group exhibition, and made available for a new category, so finally used stamps Wu place.

Since the Qing dynasty in China between the stamp duty has been levied, the history of printing and the use of revenue stamps for over a century, so far, revenue stamps are still in use, such as recent real estate transactions in the property card that is affixed with revenue stamps, and industrial and commercial business tenants books are also affixed stamps of different denominations. But for China in terms of collectors, revenue is downright exotic. Stamp Duty was founded in 1624 in the Netherlands, in 1854, Austria issued the world’s first stamps, even though the history of tax stamps is only 14 years later than the stamp, but its influence in the world still lags far behind the collection of stamps, which leads to This awkward situation is precisely the tax stamps had little impact on the international collection of organizations due.

Thus, in a very long time, Jicang are concerned about the degree of the tax stamps Jicang limited number of collectors who are often attached to collect it, and those concerned about China’s Jicang collect tax stamps are extremely small, especially the collectors just give up the tax receipt collections and focus on the stamp, resulting in very low level of our tax receipts collected. However, this situation can be improved remarkably in 1994, with the All-China Philatelic Federation in accordance with international philatelic Postal Union rules, set standards for tax stamps exhibition attracted a lot of Jicang those concerns in China over the past 10 years The revenue stamps Jicang momentum in full swing, a number of high-quality set of tax receipts also won international prizes, becoming the driving force to promote the collection of tax stamps.

Saab 9-3 Aero sports experts precursor

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Even if more and more car before the advent of large displacement, but the 250-horsepower car is still considered one of the previous deadline. On the Saab 9-3Aero2.8TS terms, the present problem is not just horsepower, as well as 350 Nm of torque was how to manage.

I remember a year ago, “Saab overland flight show” gorgeous scene, and now in the darkness, holding hands, but the key to a new 9-3. This has more than 30-year-old cars has always been a Saab family, the most dynamic and the most movement of the main potential models.

In today’s fast-changing fashion trends before the Swede in a unique way of expressing the memory of the traditional over the years, even many times experienced replacement, changing models, the Saab brand’s signature design has always be inherited. Thirty years ago, Saab slipped back with full of features designed to become a pioneer in the trend of the European continent, and now although the new models no longer use this body structure, but similar proportions of the body is still the typical characteristics of the family .

I’m not sure when Saab started from the exercise-induced shape into a brand’s core values, but this will be packaged into a high-performance, front-drive approach, while the representative of an alternative, but it has achieved unprecedented success, with its own technology continues to mature with the public recognition ,9-3 series seems to have become high-performance sports cars precursor leaders.
Cortex than the sliding seat, but a very good side and legs support.

Almost no change in style, but every detail is so very different than in the past. For a full history of accumulation model is concerned, perhaps this is the case of the most successful facelift.
The steering wheel gear change paddles, switch to manual mode to use.

Looks from the side, the new 9-3 is almost identical with the old models, however, examine the body around, and even you will find it in every detail all have new interpretations. Even if there is no significant change in size, under the premise of the front of the new 9-3 is still a sense of becoming more powerful than ever, with the typical family characteristics of the network design by increasing the size and shape of the adjustment of the car looks than in the past a more clear-cut tough temperament. Upturned headlights and large air intake under the bumper in the visual space is already creating a sharp image of high-performance cars, while the plating fog lamps taillights borders and transparent design is a good model to enhance the completion of the new grade needs.

And also from Sweden VOLVO like Saab is also a brand of excellence to detail. VOLVO increasingly fashionable than just the packaging line, the expression of Saab of refined ways. Although this generation has no dense 9-3 buttons, but the tilt of the center console to the driver is still maintained Lengjun industrial design features, like a kind of sophisticated devices in the operating section; instrument panel and center console half of the borders and inside the other silver trim and black and white two-tone seats are just right to express a distinct advantage of subtle movement of breath; In addition to the unique push-button on the steering wheel shift device, the traditional keyhole has also been placed in the gear lever, after the location of these details constitute a Saab unique characteristics.
The new 9-3 interior plastic breath still heavy, but the buttons have been streamlined a lot higher than the previous generation.

Saab 9-3 series Aero 2.8TS is the flagship model, powerful engines and even gives it sports car-class dynamic performance.
NightPanel mode and sports mode buttons are located in the second and fourth buttons, the former can be closed at night in addition to speed the table other than light, while the campaign mode, the engine very good dynamic response capabilities.

In the 9-3 cars in Aero2.8TS is worth next to an open-top version of the Vector2.0TS, sell to 52.9 million yuan. After paying a high price, you will get is a strong 2.8TEcopower performance, powerful turbocharged engine. At 5500rpm, the engine can contribute the maximum power of 188kW, but began to emerge from the 1800rpm torque peak of 350Nm is achieved remarkable value. By today’s automotive technology point of view, the performance of reversing this momentum is not considered alarming, but if the FF-driven, taking into account the form of 9-3, Saab have to admire the heroic, in addition to more than 250hp power, 350Nm of torque is even more breakthrough in the past, front-drive limit, exciting them into a force.
A strong driving force to support the engine and 6-speed tiptronic transmission, under the coordination of the car in front of the station in the 6.9 seconds of time to complete the 0 to 100km / h acceleration performance, a top speed of up to 240km / h.

In addition to the strong momentum of support for an outstanding athletic achievements of the chassis is yet another safeguard ,9-3Aero2 .8 TS as a running machine, simultaneously combines both advantages.
Rear seat cup holders hidden in the middle of the back seat than the hand-dig a separate hole in the pillow is more beautiful.

Although not entirely exercise-oriented, but this car is still a good example of manipulation first. In fact, although the ex-drove a priori the existence of the problem of uneven weight distribution, but for most people, this form of Queshi Bi FR drive safer and more manageable format the drive. Although due to the heavy front ,9-3Aero2 .8 TS limit in the corners than the rear-wheel drive sports sedan some lower, but the advantage is that it demonstrated Tuitou the state than the tail-flick after the car easier to control, in general To solve the understeer is, we need to do is just close oil and brakes, never need to scramble it back on track.
Rear legroom and seat width of all call at the same level competitors such as the BMW 3 and so on is more spacious.

9-3 suspension tuned more rigid, so by the time the road may be damaged people feel less comfortable, but “fly paste the slogan” more than just a slogan only ,9-3 at high speeds an exceptionally stable performance, but also depends on the suspension system support, in addition to hard phases of acceleration around the middle of two front wheels through a different coefficient of friction occur when the road momentarily slipping, most of the cases, four wheels are firmly grasp live on the ground. Suspension system to handle road shock action is not only neat, prompt, and multi-link rear suspension form, also fully guaranteed when the split rear corner of the searching you can always keep accurate track of.
View

Saab 9-3Aero2.8TS is undoubtedly the best representative of movement qualities, but it is certain is that consumers really buy it for performance I am afraid that very few came. Chinese users, the Saab’s biggest attraction is not a sports, luxury, or something else, is the rare holdings can be the best way to reflect the personal tastes.

The 2009 Bentley Flying Spur Speed edition of the first time exposure

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

In the 2009 Bentley Flying Spur (Flying Spur) Speed version of the all new features, there is no reason for any proof of its existence than the recent three-passenger rear seat option even stranger had.

The driver sat in the back

According to the automotive world luxury brand Bentley’s engineering director Ulrich Eichhorn, said the new seating layout of the requirements of Japanese customers should be designed. To prove that they like to drive speeding, but they do not like the parking. So they have developed from “generation driving” the profession to take over the task of delivery to reach your destination, but other time, on behalf of the driver sitting in the back row.

“Unless the car in the night short of another couple, otherwise it is not a problem” Eichhorn said, “If only bucket seats, it does not have a driver’s sitting place. We have added a middle seat, so that he can sit in the middle of two wives. That sounds weird, but it is their tradition. ”

This is the Bentley cars in twenty years and popular means. Even if you can afford to drive one on behalf of the driver, the 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed has a lot of driving pleasure makes you reluctant to leave the hands of others.

Program refinement is

As a brand new 2009 models, Continental Flying Spur Speed Bentley should be well positioned to meet the requirements of Japanese customers. Its essence is a four-door version of Continental GT Speed, is a standard Continental GT coupe, more powerful version of the more provocative. In addition to performance based on the upgrade, back to the 2009 Flying Spur Speed has given a series of upgrades.

In fact, most of the changes are very subtle, almost invisible. You may need a protractor to find a more upright grille a bit, while the tuned air intakes and black rear shock absorber valance looks no different from the original. In addition, the headlights of the decoration and the standard 19-inch wheels also have escalated.

Not only upgrade the level of decoration, all have been tuned after the speeding suspension and regulation over the exhaust pipe, along with separation of glass in order to reduce interior noise. Equipped with new options, such as a very attractive two-tone paintwork, a dedicated iPod lines and 1,100-watt Naim audio system. The detail required by customers to upgrade and will not change the car’s characteristics, Bentley CEO Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen like talking about. “So this year’s guiding ideology is speeding fine,” he told us.

Speed up the sale

Despite the sophisticated customer demands for higher standards, but know that Bentley is far better sales performance. When the GT Speed coupe has been introduced since last year, Bentley said it would account for the GT 20% of sales. Since then, the fact that it accounts for nearly 60% of sales.

With this in mind, manufacturing Flying Spur Speed has become an easy decision, especially considering that it and the GT Speed two-door coupe shared the upgrade project. “The only difference is that two cars suspension changes, it is to make up for with the sedan version of the size and weight compared to the deficiencies,” Eichhorn said.

A 600 hp 553 lbs – ft of torque slightly larger horsepower engine, replacing the standard 6.0-liter W12 engine, so that horsepower and torque increased by 48 horsepower and 74 pounds – feet. Bentley said the bump was a result of the new piston, new piston connecting rods with lighter weight, tuned adaptation of the crank axle and the engine control computer program with the role, to handle more from the bi-turbo machine The propulsive force.

6-speed automatic transmission has been enhanced to handle more horsepower, in addition, variable-speed program has been re-adjusted. Adjustable air-cushion suspension settings have been re-adjustment, in enhancing the quality of driving while nearly half an inch lower ride height will be. Former vice-frame and chassis have also removed the middle of bushings, and to provide a more direct driving feeling.

20-inch wheels and carbon – a combination of ceramic brakes are optional equipment. Pzeros Pirelli tires 275/35R20 tires, this tire is designed for GT Speed version and the Flying Spur Speed edition of research and development.

Silent Service

Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed edition is equipped with 1,100-watt Naim audio system

Bentley said the three-wheel liner and the insulation of windows so that the internal noise has been reduced to 5 dB. Behind the wheel, Speed built-in quality improvement and performance improvement are obvious, as if we have never felt the original was indeed speeding slow and noisy.

It is very quiet, almost too quiet. Turn off the radio then, you really can hear the radar sensor to adapt to the cruise control when the shock front voice.

The car has two simple equipment. One is the latest selection of equipment, Naim audio system. Its 1,100-watt speakers for the car, there is already strong as never before, and 15 speakers can release a large output. With these systems, Naim will become the best you can find a system, it is worth the price of 6,900 U.S. dollars.

Gasoline exhaust pipe will be issued closing low of turning the sound remind you that you can always get 600 horsepower. “We intend to maintain this status, because we feel that Speed version of the buyer should be like this sound,” Eichhorn said.

Another option is to stick shift and equipment sent to Sport mode. It not only lead to more aggressive shift program, but also send a signal that the Flying Spur Speed in the lower back pressure inside the exhaust pipe. In the case of throttle in the end, this low-pressure exhaust pipe back to a quiet W12 engine, adding some roar.

Time travel

If there is enough space to drive, then the extra horsepower Speed will let you leave a very deep impression. Bentley said the Flying Spur Speed edition 0-60 miles / h acceleration time of 4.6 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than the standard version. While the sedan version of a 5,546-pound weight, but you will not feel any difference between two cars. If you care about, then the 2009 Bentley Flying Spur Speed edition can also be reached 200 miles / hour speed limit.

Speed version of the more significant change is the suspension and steering on. Eichorn said that there are four adjustable air suspension level, Speed version of softness in the second row of stalls set up with the standard version of the same as the hardest setting.

Increasing the suspension stiffness and more direct steering rooms, Speed feels more like is a capable sport sedan. All aspects of response very quickly, and it’s floating feeling is that you almost would not have thought the car appeared in the Bentley. Even so, Speed version of the driver’s quality is still far from strong, even installed a low profile 35 tire department.

According to Eichhorn said the optional carbon – ceramic brakes dropped 22 pounds from each corner of the spring on the weight and braking distance of 9 feet. These carbon – ceramic brakes are very easy to adjust, even more than the standard version of the Flying Spur still easy to use. Bentley said it life with the same vehicle. Taking into account that allows you to save 16,500 U.S. dollars can be regarded as good news.

No residual costs

2009 Bentley Flying Spur Speed models is expected entry-level model price of more than 200,000 U.S. dollars to spend much less than that the price of buying a new Honda Civic brake and better decisions and not be too difficult the next. Even if you are not keen to drive its powerful underlying dynamics can be fully developed.

In fact, the vast majority of Flying Spur Speed version of the upgrade the standard version of the interior can be added on top. Soft leather seats, aluminum pedals, knurled chrome cover and gear lever are speeding select list of equipment items, in addition, there is a group of 20-inch wheels. The only can not be added to the standard version of the Speed’s unique equipment is three-spoke sports steering wheel and the “Speed” stripe-like door.

Select Speed version will have a sharper steering, suspension and engine with the tense issue of the real, such as the engine sound. Bentley said there are about 40 – 45% of the Flying Spur Speed edition of buyers will choose.

They will not be disappointed. Because the 2009 Bentley Flying Spur Speed is a faster, more attractive cars, at the same time maintain a comfortable driving and a more beautiful appearance. Whether you are driving or simply sitting in the back to take care of his wife who are the Flying Spur Speed Bentley cars in a good model.

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Land Rover engineers are currently under its new Diesel ERAD Hybrid to conduct field tests, the car aims at maintaining the Land Rover brand features all-terrain off-road capability while dramatically reducing emissions of CO2 and pollutants. Here, this test vehicle is obviously used FREELANDER 2 of the body, but the technology should be a more wide range of modular stuff, so this technology into the future should be equipped with a full range of Land Rover car and engine. This project is an official attached great importance to many of the projects planned, one of Land Rover of these plans have a general name e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES.

In addition to here Diesel ERAD hybrid system, the Land Rover has also developed a range of other emission reduction and fuel-efficient technology, from now until the future will gradually equipped with the new cars. These include start / stop function, is expected to occur next year as a standard equipment in all versions FREELANDER 2 on my hand, as well as other advanced hybrid systems and lightweight body structure.

Land Rover managing director Phil Popham said: “Our innovative ERAD technology earlier this year, had its debut in the LRX concept, and now we follow our commitment to make it full access to road test the state of the prototype vehicle. These Diesel ERAD Hybrid System for Land Rover in terms of crucial importance, through the concept of this project started to become a reality, and our vehicles to e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES technology and seemingly contradictory ability to integrate all-terrain off-road together. ”

Diesel ERAD Hybrid Technology Overview

Land Rover’s Diesel ERAD hybrid technology is supported by the British Government carried out a multi-million pound energy saving trust part of a plan aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions R & D projects. Goal is to develop a set of ‘parallel’ hybrid drive system, at the same time has a strong all-terrain four-wheel drive capability. As a set of parallel hybrid system, which means that vehicles can be driven entirely by electric power drive, or just open the diesel engine, but also can be used simultaneously. The system is standard on the NEDC test proved to be reduced by about 20% of CO2 emissions, while the effects of urban congestion can reach 30%, when the hybrid technology on a real role to play in. ”

In most cases, today’s hybrid gasoline-systems than those ordinary diesel power systems more efficient. Thereby Land Rover chose to put a modern, clean and efficient diesel hybrid power systems and full hybrid systems combine to achieve a win-win situation. Based on this, their Land Rover was developed this unique ELECTRIC REAR AXLE DRIVE system, but in fact also has the all-terrain vehicles, off-road performance enhancing potential.

Italian passion for the theory of evolution

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

In the Japanese, European cars that get better and better open, more and more like a big trend, emphasize individuality and passion for Italian cars seem narcissistic, they are open to those who like to drive, and has never been one for those who only require a means of transport tools designed for the owner. Apart from Ferrari, Lamborghini and other high price super-race aside, Apennine peninsula, designers were also shaped a bunch of stylish, high performance national car, but to understand the characteristics of these models, they have those blood vessels of the Italian Flow of “petrol” character back some passion.

Have a friend selling Italian car, said: “The best worst things can be found in the same Taiwan and Italy on board.”

Some well-known hand-built Italian super sports car, or even rumors better not to buy the summer and in December produced the vehicle, because all the workers want is to resort the motivation to work, so the quality of especially unstable.

In the 1980s, the Italian cars were once the world had a gold (Information, Quote) time, Fiat Regata, and Uno, Lancia’s Thema, AlfaSprit, is that many fans of the first performance car. However, the quality of them notorious instability, and soon the boom disappeared without a trace, leaving only a small number of loyal fans even behind in the end, in the bottom of the dark period of years, to support the reasons for fans to continue to embrace only about the same of driving pleasure. A very unique taste of Shanghai friend, her car is a Alfa Romeo Spider sports car, but also short-circuit electronic system completely paralyzed Cengzaoyuguo dilemma – but asked her if she ever considered for an Ashkenazi sports car, get answer he got was firmly shaking his head.

Italians refer to the car as works of art to do, whether it is the top ultra-running is generally true for the national car. For example, cute love Meiyan Ferrari, F430 engine directly to the spread in the sun, the red light of the V8 cylinder to see most people in heart rate. Have the opportunity to meet Ferrari on the road, regardless of which generation of cars, from the rest to start the engine speed of the noise issue is even more thrilling, is not the kind of rough deep Subaru Impreza, but rather like a head like a fierce beast blankets out the roar . No wonder Nicholas Tse had said: “Ferrari do not need with sound, the engine sound of the Teana is the best music.” Even the F430 is only one-tenth of the price Alfa156, 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with dual spark plugs, speed up Biao out noise would cause epinephrine secretion. Italian trucks and a hearing on the enthusiasm ever allowed.

Italian innate aesthetic tastes, increasingly in the global tide of mediocrity in automotive design is unique, Alfa156 is still the most beautiful small and medium sized four-door sedan, Fiat Multipla is definitely the most bizarre of the MPV. All of this stems from their lives find fault. Fashionably dressed young people on the streets drinking coffee, enjoying the sun, and occasionally there is deafening from the side of Ferrari has opened, and the night driving to the summit with his girlfriend Gongshang night is a cash-strapped young people preferred. All this and a few centuries ago the ancient buildings exist side by side.

Fortunately, apart from Ferrari, Lamborghini and other high price sports car, the cash-strapped Italian young people have a bunch of options, especially more than a decade, the Apennine peninsula, talented designers they are to create numerous models have shaped the national car.

Fiat 1990 European Car of the Year after winning the most number of car dealers, in 1995, Punto, 1996 years, Bravo, 2004 years of Panda are very creative masterpiece, and last year’s new 500 has just been revived more is to obtain the annual European models in the world. With the Alfa Romeo 156 Car of the Year in 1998 to be succeeded by the best-selling car back to the mainstream of the stage, while the Mi.To hatchback car has just been launched this year, it covers a lot of items of design awards, Jianfeng directed MiniCooper fashion guru status.

Learn Italian sports car with a national car

In many Italian nationals car body, can often see traces of a super sports car, such as the cone-shaped curve GrandPunto by the 20th century, sports car inspired by fifties or sixties. The main reason behind this is that many like Italdesign, flat Pininfarina car design companies such as design and designers are also forging who Apennine supercar.

The most typical example is the recently launched this year, Alfa Romeo Mi.To. As a super sports car from Alfa 8CCompetizione advocating its brand since the first one-style hatchback, Mi.To who learn a lot from the 8CCompetizione characteristics: form a unique frameless side windows, the unique characteristics of the three-piece front bumper and the headlights and the LED taillights shape, etc., while these features previously only in alpha, there were a sports car. Mi.To car frame is from a variety of different raw materials processed, and the different colors, creating a kind of exaggerated eye liner-like effect. The appearance of a vehicle showing a more aggressive, which directly echoes the brand’s history, a classic sports car.

Conquer Apennine coastline bend control

If you think that the Italians will be playing surface, the design effort, it would be wrong. In fact, Mi.To chassis and body size ratio of direct to borrow another Fiat hatchback Grand

Punto. This is not only because the two brands belong to the same group, but also because the proportion of the series of body and chassis tuning by the carrying capacity of the super-corner control.

Tortuous mountain road in northern Italy and southern coastline of rugged corner of the Italian temper outstanding repairer process. And the locals generally love to drive fast and especially loved the side of the winding mountain road to answer the phone side and the side of the lover philandering, side shift, and the opening speed of flight, so it is a national vehicles such as Fiat or the aristocracy such as the Ferrari, a flexible bend handling car has always been stronger than in Germany.

The 20th century, the sixties and seventies, the United States, represented by car to reach the peak period of exaggerated shapes. However, when the world economy is in a Depression-era, have a direct impact on the automobile is the fuel crisis. At that time, we need a simple, practical, good aerodynamics of vehicles, so as to Giugiaro body design as the representative of the Italian community advocated by the simple, concise, detailed, smooth and practical style of the internationally a high evaluation of Giugiaro also to lay the “Century Design Master” status. Alleged that a variety of the world’s current 2500 he designed the car moving forward, in addition to some well-known Ferrari, Alfa models, the outstanding achievements in the history of the family cars such as the Fiat Panda, Uno, Palio, etc. it all comes from the master’s hands.

The recent debut of the domestic market Fiat Grand Punto (friends more ,14.88-16 .66 million) also came from the Italian national treasure in the hands of designers: the appearance, the siege-style large front windscreen is simply full of hidden corners of the Road handling custom-made; and six-speed manual shift is the first 150 thousand yuan in the domestic models appearing on the upper and lower ( “more than friends” is priced at 14.88-16.66 million), the real realization of the civilian car driving enhancement of the fun.

The most important thing is, Grand Punto has a very good grip, even if the high-speed cornering, the vehicle yaw degree in many, nor that there is no control of the General Assembly. When it is said that 70 km / hour speed of the ice suddenly appeared bent only a little sliding around when cornering the vehicle tracking performance was very excellent point to maintain the correct front.

Cynicism and Security Design

The Italians know how to live naturally know how to enjoy the wine, which is hidden, but safe driving. Quite a few people do not like driving seat belt, so that the police ticket of the day. In Italy, you often will see hawkers selling printed T-shirt graphics seat belts, that is due to the huge market demand, while this kind of “humor” Let the police dumbfounding. As a result, the Italian cars naturally pay more attention to security design.

Alfa and Fiat, most of the models have been certified in Europe five-star crash test. Such as Fiat Bravo (Hiroetsu ,20.38-21 .9 million) In addition to its E-NCAP five-star certification in addition, using seven airbag design is the first time in its class equipped with a rare inside the driver’s knee airbag intelligent dual-stage air bags, compared with frontal impact ejection provides the most secure guarantee. The ramp brakes (HillHolder) is a national road against Italy came into being.

In terms of safety in the prevention, Bravo introduced the powerful “Dualdrive” dual-mode electronic power steering system, which could reduce the case of heavy traffic to provide an effective power steering, the other on the highway to provide a low boost mode.

The all-new 500 in the control and safety has also been recognized as the devil through the Amalfi coast, one of the best models.
