Russian term or phrase: навороты
Article in motoring magazine КЛАКСОН in which singer Marina Khlebnikova gives her impressions of the Volkswagen Touareg W12 Sport, the latest Mercedes-Benz ML and the Nissan Murano.
This is about the Touareg. She likes everything about the interior except one thing.
Это был регулятор наружных зеркал. И чем он не угодил Хлебниковой?
- Мужчины на такую мелочь, наверное, внимания не обратят, а женщине она бросается в глаза. При всех прочих "наворотах" регулятор зеркал - как на "Школе Октавии".
