Chevrolet Evanda: A huge car for little money
 
Russia, as you know, is in many ways Asian. In part, therefore, we have a quite often decisive role. Not in the sense of social significance, but in the sense of physical mass. In even more Asian Turkmenistan, this, for example, forces people who claim to be a serious position or have already occupied it, grow their stomach. To be a prominent figure. In Soviet times, the Turkmen even had a special sanatorium in which fat respected people were made of thin applicants. Wildness, but many were not funny at all.
 
Asian in our life does not always affect the volume of a person, but quite often leads when choosing, oddly enough, a car. Somewhere deeply in the subconscious, the idea is firmly kept that a respected person should drive a large car. The larger the car, the higher the status and more respect. And if there is no status at all, and self -esteem like Bai (Beka, Emir), then very often from two cars I want to choose the one that is larger. The people call it to measure the car for kilograms. In business, the same idea is made more correctly: a lot of car for a little money.
 
Chevrolet Evanda is a huge car for little money. Evanda is visible and posture so much that no one objects against it just in case. It takes a place in the strip, and everyone around them has nothing against, regardless of temperament and perseverance with which the place was occupied. At the same time, the Mercedes equal in size perceive it as their own and even without hunting, but shunes, as if giving the way a slightly ill -mannered, but still relative. The gazelle distraught from the strangle, for some reason always striving to die in the left row, bounced off with unpaired agility, not to mention the widespread Lada, giving way to the road at a meek, accepting the leadership of Evanda immediately and unconditionally. Moreover, no efforts to extend the flow need to be undertaken, everything happens by itself. People around reflexively compare the appearance of the car with possible troubles and immediately shun.
 
But Evanda allows a person to remain himself and does not provoke in any way to revalize internal values, taking aggression or conceit from the depths of the soul. She simply adds comfort to existence, and at the same time takes a little more space around, but not in order to push everyone around, but only to decently equip the owner. At the same time, he holds the road perfectly, does not make noise, rides smoothly and behaves very worthy, without imposing his extensive virtues in any way. And although the list of these advantages, as expected, is wide, the most important, perhaps two: the suspension settings and sound insulation. Judging by the result, the engineers very thoughtfully reacted to the comfortable work of the suspension. On the bumps of Evanda, he rides smoothly, along the spring asphalt, the highway defeated by trucks, too, as, indeed, along the uneven Moscow streets, sophisticated tram rails. Characteristics - as in a large American car. And at the same time, everything happens quietly. There is no studded rubber, there is no sound of road joints, there is no knock of gravel in the bottom, the engine is not heard, and the only thing that can be brought from the outside is the noise of pushed air. In terms of sound insulation, Evanda also turned out to be a real American car. At the same time, she is a beauty. How successfully this car was awarded by cutting, which nevertheless did not make the appearance angular. On the contrary, the silhouette turned out to be in smooth contours and with the monumental aristocracy of the general architecture, which only in the elements of optics allowed the hones of sharp corners and on the wings indicated a couple of strokes. Designers were able to combine in its appearance the general recognition of the family, and American besanism, and at the same time retained a little Italian stylistic presence.
 
And so, it would seem, Evanda is so much car! But in fact - the skillful work of people who have made the car visually and more in habits than it really is. Indeed, the EVANDA length is only 4770 mm (that is, with our Volga), but it looks, we repeat like a hefty American car. Yes, and rides like a big American - dignity and reliably.
 
A four -cylinder two -liter engine is installed on such impressive in appearance and habits. It seems to be to face at least V6? But this is the point of view just a person who is accustomed to measuring the car in kilograms and harshly locked in the framework of illusions and prejudices. The Evanda is placed a very serious and tracted 16-valve engine with a capacity of 131 hp. With it, the car convincingly reaches 200 km/h, although this is very difficult with our participants in the movement, since after 140 km/h the Volga, Zhiguli and still living Zila begin to interfere with the left row. The engine was a success along with other attributes of the American style, to which the designers clearly gravitated and so successfully reached it.
 
Today, Evanda is the most unique offer in our market. There is no longer a single car that would be offered so much for this money ($ 21,250). Moreover, the concept is expressed a lot in the kilograms accessible to people (equipped mass 1469 kg), and in a slightly less understandable, but very specific feeling of a serious, extensive car that causes reflex respect on the road, as well as in a completely obscure, but precisely measured line of belonging to the class E, which is called a very pleasant and respectable term business class in us. And in addition to kilograms, large size and representative species, even in the most affordable configuration, the machine has a climate control, ABS, an anti-tuxe system, a rather intricate electric package, in which, in addition to the usual (rain sensor, a photo-brown rear-view mirror, a radio tape recorder with a five-resident CD for five CDs, electroregulations of a driver's seat) is also unusual, for example, electric heating of the windshield. By and large, there is no only leather salon and automatic transmission on a car that exist, however, in the form of available options that almost do not raise the price.
 
In its homeland, Chevrolet Evanda is called Daewoo Leganza. And it is no coincidence that it is well sold in America, where it looks organically in a common number of purely American Chevrolet. Own among their own. But Evanda must be with an automaton.
