In the United States, the voice for the Austin Maestro talking digital dashboard is actress Nicolette Mackenzie. She lends her voice in reading out car warnings such as low oil and etc. But the main story here is that in other countries like Spain and Germany, instead of having a female voice talking to you, they have a male voice just for the reason that they do not want to take orders from a female! So would you rather hear a female or a male voice?

Check out the video to see how this talking digital dashboard works:

They needed an engine that will give them enough torque that they expect to get from their eventual production unit. And, of course, this resulted in one of the best engines out there! WAY TO GO CHEVY!

1. The Chevy Cavalier is the Toyota Cavalier.

In Japan, the Chevy Cavalier was sold as the Toyota Cavalier. According to an article of the truth about cars, “in response to concerns about the trade imbalance, and to help stave off any further US restrictions of Japanese imports to the US… Toyota entered into a deal to help facilitate imports of genuine made in the US Chevys and other good GM stuff of the era.”

Spot the difference?
