the s.u.v.s predecessor's never the less so the amount of those c x five gives you a nice comfortable right it's something like being carried in a sedan chair and it's really quiet it doesn't get better in terms of comfort. he turns the most powerful diesel was selective catalytic reduction or any. c.r. technology to break down nitrogen oxides the engine can deliver one hundred thirty five kilowatts of power and four hundred forty five meters of torque meaning the c x five makes the spring from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in just over ninety seconds. manoa says that a two point two leader diesel test model is fun to drive with this much torque when you hit the gas the transmission kicks down and the car leaps forward but the good thing is a gets good mileage after all it's a diesel and with a little your area injection it meets the new year zero sixty temp emission

standard. that's true for the other of being labeled gasoline and diesel engines too. and profile the new generation since thirty millimeters lower than its predecessor but you can only tell when they're parked right next to each other the other changes are minimal altering nothing of a c x five is basic design. c.x. five offers for engine choices that all meet the latest emission standards. another novelty is a no like three hatchback. the interior is sporty with more than

a touch of class matte chrome makes for an elegant appearance in picks up fingerprints just as easily as the shiny stuff. the seven inch infotainment says the really stands out a touchscreen selector knobs and voice controls can all be used to make it work the second generation features a new three hundred. sixty degree camera to help with parking and getting through tight spots. black and white leather upholstery is available. and there's plenty of leg room in the back. the latest mazda c.x. five starts at about twenty five thousand five hundred euros in germany the sports model we tested for cost ten thousand euros more. amenable says the c.x. five is a really good car all in all outside and in the design is highly elegant electronic

aids like a three hundred sixty degree camera are really practical the only thing missing is an alternative drive and doesn't have to be all electric but it would be good to have at least one hybrid in this election. and the one nine hundred fifty s. the opel coffee chain was among the german automotive industries best sellers it offered executive class comfort at an affordable price that was open as concept and recipe for success and it secured the capitaine third place among germany's new car registrations after its little brother the opel olympia record and the v.w. beetle. that you're sick of as car test accused of our tells is opals history goes

all the way back to eight hundred sixty two when adam opel founded a sewing machine in bicycle manufacture and eight hundred ninety nine he started turning out automobiles which led to an burgeoning economic expansion by the late one nine hundred twenty s. oval had a market share of forty four percent making a germany's largest car maker but then came the great depression and in one nine hundred twenty nine america. because general motors bought out opel but that didn't slow down its business success one bit i think it's up enough but that's kind of. in the one nine hundred thirty s. opel rolled upward in on who were to become the biggest car maker in europe excel in with such technological innovations as the self-supporting uni body starting in one nine hundred thirty eight following the overload limpia and the cadet the first copy tain also made use of this modern design of

a six cylinder sedan continued almost unchanged right through world war two until nine hundred fifty three then it was time to find a successor. just as in the pre-war years the capitaine of the one nine hundred fifty s. quickly secured his place as the best selling german six cylinder car in three years of production this version alone found exactly ninety two thousand five hundred fifty five buyers. and even points out that every square centimeter of his modern poynton styling reveals the influence of the american parent general motors lots of chroma lots or shine at that time and absolute mustapha of commerce that includes the wrap around panoramic when she us the obligatory tailfins and the often rather one garri shawl two tone paint shop compared to some of its peers this model is fairly modest opal took on

another trend from the united states just six years from one nine hundred fifty three to fifty nine the factory ruled out four different capitaine models not until the one nine hundred sixty s. had noble give up this kind of rather cash intensive transfer facelifts. this one nine hundred fifty five version of the capitaine differs from its predecessor in the flattened hood the oval grill and a larger tailfins and his successor sported a wind. shielded wrapped all the way around to the doors even more and shiny or chrome and even bigger tailfins. nine hundred dollars for marks or about double the list price would buy i lecture a version was separate front seats and imitation leather dash a make up here and lots of styling.

i had a constant crystal points out the one constant with all the one nine hundred fifty s. copy it's a very quiet but very robust and line six cylinder two and a half liter engine and had powered the opel blitz and it sucked in fuel an air through only one carburetor that tended to limit performance by thirty nine hundred revs it had already reached its maximum output but it was the torch they gave the car its pick up and impressive at one hundred seventy do it meters that kicked in it's just one thousand seven hundred reps and made for a very decent acceleration. throughout and bush took. the three speed transmission with a steering column mounted shift lever was made for the shiftless driver and a very casual driving style fuel consumption averaged about eleven point five leaders not all bad for the time.

in one nine hundred seventy after long and dependable service the capitaine was retired with honors from then on the top of the range belonged to the admiral and the diplomat while the up and coming opel commodore served the midbrain. yes that is the stuff concludes that for over thirty. here's the opal capitaine served well and admirably nearly half a million more built before the war it was a technological innovator has set new standards with itself supporting all steel body in the one nine hundred fifty s. the new generation capitaine became darlings of the rising middle class and symbols awash germany's economic miracle as the best selling six cylinder of its time the opel capitaine was doubtlessly a milestone of automotive history. in the one nine hundred eighty s. opel gave up the navy based meaning tradition for its opel models names like cadet
