Israel has had a great year in terms of automobile sales as the vehicle delivery record posted in 2015 – 254,000 units – is expected to be broken in the next few weeks.

Schreyer’s design philosophy emphasizing the “simplicity of the straight line” is clearly evident in the redesigned 2017 Kia Cadenza. Spanning the length of the new Cadenza, this linear detail is linked with Z-shaped lighting patterns in the headlights and taillights, creating a crisp, elegant look as opposed to the frequently overcompensating character lines of other brands.” Click to Read More Lees hele artikel
