I've Got Five More To Go
Solomon Islands. Toyota Land Cruiser. Derek Sikua has not been in office long so there are not that many pictures of him. There is a picture of him next to a big shiny white Holden, but it was taken in Australia when Kevin Rudd undiplomatically made Sikua wait for him outside the prime minister's residence. The shot below is a recent picture of the Solomon Islands parliament building. The Land Cruiser immediately below the building's crest and entrance has a green license plate, which is different from the other official cars and police vehicles near by. I believe that is Sikua's ride. 189. San Marino. Lancia Thesis. I suspected that the two captains regent and secretary of state rode in Alfas, Lancias, or Maseratis. I leaned toward the Lancia because it is stately but not too ostentatious (Maserati) or too sporty (Alfa). The picture below shows the front of the palace. A Lancia Thesis, with its unforgettable front end, is parked out front. That must be it. 190, 191. Tamerlane is firing his accountants at PriceWaterhouseCoopers. In this compilation, we left out Macedonia and Lebanon. For the record, the Macedonian PM and the Lebanese prez ride in S-class Mercedes. I still need to identify cars from the following countries: Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Niger, Kiribati, Micronesia. I've got five more to go.
Jaguar has a rich history of designing powerful engines with trend-setting combustion chambers and other features that helped establish the brand's performance image. Land Rover's classic diesel engines, while not overly powerful, are known to be very durable. The company hired powertrain manufacturing experts, Ziebart said, to help set up the new engine plant, which is being done now. Ziebart said the company is considering other engines for the plant, including a three-cylinder gasoline engine in the 1.5-liter range. Ziebart said the reason to build a three-cylinder -- which would cost more than a four-cylinder -- is to reduce fuel consumption. A three-cylinder diesel is also possible, he said. He said Jaguar Land Rover did not lose the capability to design engines as corporate parents changed over the years. After passing through various corporate owners in the 1980s and 1990s, both brands were stripped of their engine plants. Sales of both brands, now owned by India's Tata Motors, are on a tear. Jaguar Land Rover's combined sales in the United States were up 19 percent through October on the strength of such new vehicles as the Range Rover Evoque compact SUV and the Jaguar F-Type sports car.
However, other critics thought that the cabin still feels outdated. The five-seat Land Rover LR2鈥檚 high driving position offers great outward visibility, reviewers wrote, and most were pleased with the overall seating space. The Land Rover LR2 comes standard with leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth and an 11-speaker Meridian audio system with a USB port and a 7-inch touch-screen display. Available features include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a rearview camera, a 17-speaker Meridian audio system, satellite radio and navigation. Most reviewers found the climate controls and Terrain Response system easy to adjust thanks to their physical buttons. However, some critics commented that the touch screen complicates audio adjustments. The 2013 Land Rover LR2 has 58.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, which is par for the class. Reviewers praised the 2013 Audi Q5's standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine for its ample power and the brisk acceleration it provides. The Q5 comes standard with all-wheel drive and earns better fuel economy than the LR2. According to test drivers, the 2013 Infiniti EX has sharp handling and a powerful standard V6 engine. They also liked its luxurious interior and straightforward audio and navigation controls.
