Best City Bikes of 2014 - There have been a lot of good bikes, but only a few can be the best city bikes of 2014. Cycling trends change very quickly and with demand growing, it seems like a new niche bike brand is around the corner every week. And if a few years ago, well-known brands dominated the market and dictated trends, 2014 is proof that the baton of innovation was taken over by smaller and (yet) unknown ones. In 2014, we devoted quite a few lines to such people at City Magazine.
Four-wheelers are a fixture at Lamborghini today, but when the LM002 dude SUV debuted in 1986, it was their first foray into the world of four-wheelers. Because it was a real beast (V12 engine), the title "Rambo Lambo" quickly caught on, and that was even before Sylvester Stallone came up with it. By the end of production in 1993, only a little over three hundred were built, so it is a real collector's item and one of them is going up for auction in January 2015.
Opel Corsa needs no further introduction to Slovenians, as it has been one of the best-selling models in the C-segment for decades, which is also eloquently demonstrated by the sales figures. 1,100 vehicles sold on average per year are big shoes that the fifth generation Corsa has just stepped into, and from what we've seen, it will be able to fill them.
For some time, the Mini Countryman has been considered the largest mini model, which can also satisfy the basic family needs and the customer's wishes for easier entry and higher seating. However, when the cooper SD ALL4 is added to its name, it means even more sporty driving, even off-road, and economical consumption.
You know - the time around Christmas is the one in which very special feelings arise in every individual. There is always something special and different in the air. And accordingly, the surprise that the representatives of Opel Slovenia prepared for us was when we received a bright yellow, but really bright yellow Opel Astro GTC for the "Christmas" test. One that hides almost 200 sparkly deer under the hood, but I'm sorry... horses. It seems that there really isn't that much of a difference between horses and deer. But there is a difference between the Opel Astra GTC and its conventional 5-door sister.
For next year, Audi is preparing a new generation of the largest SUV of the Q model family, which will surpass the first generation version both in terms of dimensions, technology and, thanks to a 325 kg lower weight, also in terms of economy and performance. Seven seats, quattro drive and S-tronic automatic will always be part of the standard equipment of the Audi Q7.
Snowmobiles are an ideal means of transport for chasing through the snow, but their problem is that they can carry a limited number of people, and the icy wind while driving is also not a good invitation for a passenger. With the polyethylene trailer, the Equinox Snowcoach, there are no such problems. This mini "carriage" in the form of a capsule, which connects to a snowmobile, offers comfortable and safe transport for two more people.
After yachts, watches and computers, the Italian manufacturer of sinfully expensive sports cars, Lamborghini, has also signed smartphones, and recently a fresh Android called the Lamborghini Tauri 88 "drove" from its factory, which under the body, like their cars under the hood, it hides top-of-the-line equipment. And don't look bullish (like the bull on the logo) when we mention price, it's about prestige, not technology from NASA.
To a large extent, the Astra is already a fixture on Slovenian roads, as it consistently ranks among the ten best-selling models in our country, and its frequency in traffic is also appropriate for this. The Opel astra 1.6 CDTi with a new quieter and more refined diesel engine and an improved and more accurate transmission is now even more convincing as a whole.
The sports utility coupe segment, in which the BMW X6 has reigned for many years, will reach a boiling point next year. In the fall, the Bavarian will be joined by a coupe version of the renewed Mercedes-Benz ML, which will be called the GLE coupe. This will offer better driving dynamics and the always standard 4matic drive and 9G-Tronic automatic.
A specialist in sports exhaust systems for passenger vehicles and motorcycles - Akrapovič, in collaboration with the also Slovenian boutique motorcycle manufacturer Dreamachine Motorcycles, produced a study of a futuristic heavy motorcycle that is bursting with advanced technology. They were among the first to talk about him on the famous "Top Gear".
Many times, older people still hide their money in their sock, and if they don't trust it to someone in time, it can happen that it is discovered only when this currency no longer exists at all. Something similar happened to the grandchildren of Roger Baillon, but he didn't keep his possessions in a sock, and it wasn't about money either. In the shed, he "hid" vintage cars from the 1930s, worth 15 million euros today!
