The company's dividend growth streak of eight consecutive years appears to be just warming up,

The appeal of the RAV - 4 definitely starts in the cabin,
with ample room for five people or whatever mix of car seats and big folks you may have (I must say the

THE DVD by Bill Chambers Just about the only thing that
drives me nuts about Blade II on DVD has nothing to do
with the way it was mastered: The first film was in 2.35:1, while Del Toro chose to shoot the sequel at 1.85:1 — I loathe an inconsistency in aspect
ratio between franchise entries (see also the Alien «Legacy» and the Halloween films).

Even though this Miata's six - speed manual transmission has a fairly tall
ratio in sixth gear for highway cruising, the rear axle's final -
drive ratio is fairly short to enhance acceleration, so the Miata's 2.0 - liter inline - 4 engine spins above 3000 rpm at ordinary cruising speed and close to 4000 rpm if you're brave
with speed limits.
Revised

The Trailhawk 4 × 4 even comes

drive ratio to make it possible to creep across obstacles at ultra-slow speed.
A snapshot of what's different about the BRZ: updated front end
with LED headlights and fog lamps; LED taillights; new wheels; new fender accent, new aluminum rear spoiler, new steering wheel, updated gauge cluster
with a color multi-function display, retuned suspension, reworked engine internals and accessories that add 5 horsepower and 5 lb - ft of torque to the 2.0 - liter flat - four, a new final -
drive ratio for manual models (4.3:1 vs. 4.1:1 for 2016), a stiffer body, and less aggressive stability control that includes a new Track mode.
Rather like the chassis tweaks it's difficult to identify the ST200's shorter gear
ratios in terms of straight - line acceleration — you'd need to
drive it back - to - back
with an ST — and there are actually occasions where the shorter gearing forces you to shift up between corners rather than being able to hold the lower gear.
The gearbox has been switched into a transaxle arrangement at the rear axle to cope
with the extra muscle, the first gear
ratio is higher while seventh gear and final
drive ratios are lower.
Switching into off - road mode on the center - mounted rotary dial proves a good decision, optimizing the all - wheel
drive Tiguan SEL Premium we were
driving for the terrain
with a flatter acceleration curve, unique ABS setting, later meddling from the stability control and traction control systems, and greater locking
ratio for the center electronic differential lock.
While the V - 10 beams us effortlessly past slower traffic, four - wheel
drive is redistributing the torque
with surgical precision, the variable -
ratio steering keeps carving out the most pragmatic flight path, the suspension successfully deals
with deep craters and sharp ridges, and the brakes reel us in from the brink time after time.
Subaru has said the car will weigh around 1220 kg, which puts it close in terms of straight - line performance and power to weight
ratio with a Renaultsport Clio 200 Cup, though it's rear - wheel
drive rather than front and both Toyota and Subaru possess a choice of 6 - speed manual or 6 - speed auto gearboxes.
The BMW has the slightly better power - to - weight
ratio (265bhp / ton plays 255), but the Audi counters
with more torque and four - wheel
drive.
Our
drive a pre-production 2013 Sonic RS was limited to one equipped
with the six - speed manual transmission, and we found that the slightly more aggressive
ratios do help get the most from the 1.4 - liter.
A six - speed, Durashift manual gearbox
with a revised final
drive ratio and low friction transmission oil also helps to reduce fuel consumption along
with underbody aerodynamic improvements, an Active Grille Shutter, Ford Auto - Start - Stop, a shift indicator light and low - drag Econetic wheel covers and tyres.
The gearbox carries the same
ratios as other Cayman models and the 3.8 - liter engine is straight out of a 911 Carrera S. I'd love to
drive a Cayman GT4
with shorter, closer -
ratio gearing and see if the pedestrian - for - a-Porsche engine comes alive.
The DSG gearbox works extremely well, giving a decent impression of a conventional automatic under gentle use while seamlessly swapping between its seven
ratios, but offering near - instant changes when
driven a bit more keenly — or when over-ridden
with wither the push - pull gear selector or (optional) steering wheel paddles.
The steering is also revised; the Genesis is the first Hyundai to get a new rack - mounted, motor -
driven electric power steering setup
with a variable gear
ratio.
«The Renegade Trailhawk doesn't really have any direct comparison to the 500X
with its off - road capability,» said Anderson, noting the Trailhawk has larger approach and departure angles, a rock
driving mode, and a 20:1 crawl
ratio.
Four - wheel
drive Juke Nismos carry on as before,
with Nissan's Torque Vectoring System and a continuously variable transmission badged Xtronic,
with eight virtual
ratios and steering wheel - mounted paddles.
Speaking of response, though,
with the LaCrosse's ultra-tall final
drive ratio, you really have to put your foot into it to awaken this powertrain.

Engineers devised two new full - time 4 × 4 systems for the Renegade: Active
Drive and Active
Drive Low, the latter a full - time 4 × 4 system
with a 20:1 crawl
ratio.
With a shorter final
drive ratio, it accelerates from 0 - 62mph in a claimed 6.1 sec, some 0.5 sec faster than the S.
Whereas the Mustang GT has a 3.31:1 final -
drive ratio, the Boss gets a 3.73:1 unit,
with carbon - fiber friction plates in its limited slip; a Torsen rear axle is standard on the Laguna Seca model and is optional (bundled
with Recaro seats) on the regular Boss 302.
There's a bit more oomph off of the line, and if you're really working hard, Subaru says that in concert
with the new final
drive ratio (from 4.1 in the old car to 4.3 in the new), acceleration from 0 - 60 mph is somewhat swifter.
From the catalog of parts used to create the Chevrolet Camaro Z / 28, this concept car gets a free - flowing intake and exhaust for the V - 8 engine, a helical limited - slip differential
with racier 3.91:1 final -
drive ratio and a differential cooler, Multimatic's expensive DSSV (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) dampers, brake - cooling air ducts, and an aero package claimed to produce downforce.
This seems like a bad deal on paper, yet we liked this 2.0 T engine's notably quicker, quieter response while accelerating away from stoplights in metro
driving, and the engine made great use of the 2.0 T's six - speed automatic
with its shift paddles on the steering wheel and a set up of shorter
ratios in first through fourth gears for quicker acceleration.
Still, it was clear that the GT350's gearing is a little shorter than a conventional Mustang, partly due to the final -
drive ratio of 3.73:1 and partly due to the six - speed transmission itself, which is like a close -
ratio five - speed (fifth gear is 1.00:1)
with an overdrive sixth.
With stepless shifting of gear
ratios, the CVT can avoid the shift - shock and deliver smooth
driving, making it an exceptional transmission solution.
Unlike a conventional transmission
with four of five gears that change the final
drive ratio in steps, a CVT uses a steel belt and a variable pulley to infinitely change the final
drive ratio between a minimum and maximum setting.
For a rear - wheel -
drive vehicle
with an axle
ratio of 3.55:1, the
drive shaft would have to rotate 3.55 times to rotate the rear axle once.
Transmission gearing for 5th and 6th gears is 0.71 and 0.50:1, which translates to a 70 mph cruise
with the engine barely turning 1500 rpm for cars equipped
with a six - speed manual gearbox and the standard 3.24:1 final
drive ratio.
With all - wheel
drive, 493bhp, a six - speed manual gearbox, claimed 193mph top speed and a power - to - weight
ratio of 305bhp per ton, the 911 Turbo Cab is the R8 Spyder's closest on - paper rival.
The screaming V8 — put on show for all to see — was a masterpiece,
with a 12.5 - to - one compression
ratio, direct injection and graphite - coated pistons
driving the rear axle via a seven - speed dual - clutch paddleshifter (no three - pedal option was available this time round).
