The Bavarian Audi refiner Abt Sportsline released some photos of another Q7 conversion a few month past the presentation of their range for the stylish SUV from Ingolstadt. And, the black/orange car looks great. Some may deem orange a too flashy colour for a luxurious SUV but generally a two-tone paint is an interesting proposal for the Q7. At any event the pictures should be shown. So we're doing this and hope you like both the car and the photos.

The Livina Geniss, the name of the Chinese variant, will be the first Nissan car ever to be released in China ahead of other global markets.
"This new family of global cars represents a substantial investment for Nissan," said Nissan Executive Vice President Carlos Tavares. "We expect the Livina Geniss and the other variants to become significant contributors to Nissans growth in China and other key global markets," continued Tavares.
The Livina Geniss will make its world premier at the Guangzhou International Motor Show later this month. Based on the concept of a luxurious, yet practical vehicle, the model seats up to seven people and accommodates a wide variety of customer needs. The exterior features a bold, modern design and is complemented by a highly flexible interior that provides multiple seating arrangements and a high standard specification.
Like the other models in this new global family, the Livina Geniss has been designed and engineered at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan and will be built on a Renault-Nissan Alliance common platform.
The Livina Geniss will be powered by a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with C-VTC (Continuous Valve Timing Control) for improved power and torque. The model will be manufactured at Dongfeng Motor Co.'s (DFL) Huadu plant in Guangdong Province. DFL is Nissan's joint venture in China with Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. The other variants will be produced at different facilities around the world.

Nissan Motor Co today announced the release of the fully redesigned Wingroad compact wagon for the Japanese market. True to its tagline "SHIFT_FUNction, the new Wingroad comes with numerous innovative features to support the active lifestyles of its users.
Developed around the concept of "a stylish and practical compact wagon," the Wingroad is distinguished by the following three unique attributes that make it an attractive wagon, whether driving around town or heading off on a longer trip:
1. "New wagon interior space" that is reconfigurable to suit any purpose
2. "New wagon functionality" for convenient use
3. "New wagon performance" for an enjoyable driving experience
"New wagon interior space" refers to the ability of users to reconfigure the interior space by sliding and reclining the rear seats to create more leg room in the rear-seat area compared with most wagons in its class. The driver's and front passenger's seats also recline completely, allowing for even more room.
"New wagon functionality" refers to the car's many innovative and convenient features, including a simple bench seat at the rear of the luggage area and a washable luggage board. In addition, all seats, except for the driver's seat, can be folded flat by remote control.
"New wagon performance" refers to the Wingroad's enjoyable driving performance. The suspension system, which incorporates the specifications of high-end cars, is specifically tuned for wagon use to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride in both the city and on longer trips. Moreover, the combination of Nissan's MR18DE engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers a powerful, sporty performance.
