Chapter 361: Have You Seen Star Wars (Plus More with a Thousand Recommendation Votes)

For example, the Honda Civic 2019 220TURBO CVT has five airbags, lane departure, tire pressure monitoring, body stability control, active safety and other configurations.

However, today's Toyota is more powerful in terms of safety configuration, for example, the Toyota Yize 2018 2.0L Yichi version in front of him, in the case of the official guide price is 15,000 cheaper, the Civic has the safety configuration Yize, but also has two more airbags than it.

However, compared with those OEMs that are known for their safety, Toyota's configuration is slightly worse.

......

Fang Yuan compared many aspects, Wu Hongjie next to him knew that Toyota belonged to the upstream level among Japanese cars in terms of materials and configuration, but he didn't know Fang Yuan's intention to say this, and he seemed a little confused.

"I mean, if you compare all Japanese cars to students in school, Honda, Subaru, Mazda and other car companies belong to a certain subject that is particularly good at a certain specialty, while Toyota is more like a student who is at the upper level of all his homework, but does not achieve a perfect score. Fang Yuan was worried about his auto repair shop, and he was a little distracted when he introduced the model to Wu Hongjie, and he didn't play at a normal level.

"I understand when you say this, Honda's engine is strong, Subaru is all four-wheel drive and horizontally opposed engines, Mazda is known as Japan's BMW, they all have specialties and will be admitted to a university majoring in art and sports in the future.

Toyota belongs to the type that has no shortcomings, all the homework is very good, and can be admitted to two books and one book, but it cannot be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Speaking of this, Wu Hongjie was still full of mush, and he was very puzzled that Toyota had already achieved this level, why not pursue perfection and achieve the ultimate in all aspects?

"Because of cost control. Fang Yuan guessed that Toyota's idea is to surpass Japanese competitors a little bit, just gain an advantage, and pursue perfection or forget it, in that case, the cost is too high, and the price of the car is higher, after all, Toyota's model positioning is a family car, and the price is too high to wait for Toyota.

"It's a shame. Wu Hongjie was a little regretful.

"I can't say that it's a pity, but I can only say that the Japanese are very good at doing business, and the French and Swedes can give up everything in order to build the car they want in their hearts, and the Japanese can't do it. ”

Toyota's "early" models are durable, stable in quality, fuel-efficient, worry-free, cheap in maintenance, large in interior space, can eat coarse grains and fine grains, and have low car costs.

There are also many shortcomings, such as low configuration, thin paint, known as thin skin and big unsafe, there has been a Corolla rear-end bicycle, the bicycle embedded in the front of the Corolla embarrassment.

What makes Fang Yuan complain the most is that Toyota's "early" model design ideas are modest, there are no outstanding advantages, no shortcomings, whether it is the appearance, power or interior, everything is flat and there is no outstanding place, and it belongs to the kind of role that will be automatically filtered and ignored when thrown on the street.

Wu Hongjie nodded, as Fang Yuan expected, he was not familiar with Japanese cars, but after all, he was a car dealer, and he still knew a little about Japanese cars.

Fang Yuan's introduction of some information is completely consistent with Wu Hongjie's mastery, which proves that Fang Yuan is not fooling around, and he is very real.

And there are many things that Wu Hongjie doesn't know, listening to Fang Yuan's introduction of the model, Wu Hongjie has a kind of going back to learning from his master back then, as if he was being re-educated.

But Wu Hongjie lamented that Fang Yuan's automobile knowledge was better than that at the same time, he noticed that he was always emphasizing the words "early Toyota".

"I think there's a big difference between the current Toyota and the early ones. "Fang Yuan believes that the early Toyota is to take the 'mean' route, the leather is durable, the quality is stable, the fuel is efficient, the maintenance is cheap, and the matter is finished, what appearance, interior, and configuration are all not considered.

"What happened later?" Wu Hongjie asked a question in a timely manner, just like Tou.

"Later, with the rise of domestic cars and the more scolded, Toyota also began to change, and it was the biggest change. Just as the two of them walked in front of the white SUV, Fang Yuan raised his hand to let Wu Hongjie pay attention to its front face, "Camry, Highlander, Corolla, the appearance of these models have all undergone earth-shaking changes, but I think the design of Yize and RAV4 is the most successful." ”

"Look here. Fang Yuan squatted directly in front of Yi Ze's right, his palm pressed against the headlight, "The slender Yaoyi headlights are like diamond cuts, and there is a hint of sharpness between the luxurious eyebrows, and the strange shape is very recognizable. ”

"Look at it again. Fang Yuan's palm slid to the right along the front middle grille, "The black middle mesh is slender and narrow, almost negligible, in stark contrast to the large area of the middle mesh like Highlander and Lexus. ”

But in Fang Yuan's view, it is the width that people with bad eyes will ignore, perfectly connecting the left and right sides, forming a through-type front and middle grille design with slender headlights to render the atmosphere of battle.

"These two headlight clusters are really scary. Wu Hongjie looked at the place indicated by Fang Yuan, and sure enough, as he said, this slender headlight has been outlined to the side of the hood, and the strange shape makes the front of the car more beautiful, with a fierce taste.

"And here. Fang Yuan's fingers gestured from top to bottom, "If the narrow middle mesh reduces all unnecessary elements, the split bar skin makes the front face more layered." ”

Fang Yuan pointed to the inclined air intakes on both sides again, and specifically pointed out that this was fake and had no actual effect.

But it's this decoration that plays the finishing touch, giving the front of the Yize a more three-dimensional texture, and the huge black front lip creates an almost sci-fi front shape.

Wu Hongjie was looking down at the location introduced by Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan suddenly stood up and asked with a smile, "Brother, have you seen Star Wars?"

"I've seen it. Wu Hongjie's eyes were shining, and he was very curious why Fang Yuan asked this question.

"You see all the elements are kneaded together, does the front face of this Yi Ze look like the helmet of a soldier of the Imperial Army?" Fang Yuan stood in front of Yi Ze, his arm slicing through the air, allowing Wu Hongjie to carefully recall and compare.

Wu Hongjie stared at Yi Ze's front face with his chin in his hand, and instantly showed a surprised smile, not to mention, the white lacquer surface and this sci-fi shape are indeed a little similar to the soldier helmets of the Imperial Army stormtroopers in Star Wars.

"Hahaha, it's true. Wu Hongjie couldn't stop laughing, "I guess the inspiration for Toyota's designers came from Star Wars." ”

Strange women can talk about clothes and cosmetics, strange men have more ways to communicate with each other, let each other have a cigarette, talk about football, basketball, cars, in short, there are many common languages.

Now the Star Wars movie has become a catalyst for the friendship between Fang Yuan and Wu Hongjie, and the relationship has quickly deepened.

And after Wu Hongjie got acquainted with Fang Yuan, there was more smile on his face, he felt that Fang Yuan was well-informed, humorous, and friendly, without that kind of arrogance that was domineering.

No matter the temperament, conversation, and ability are very good, so Wu Hongjie can't help but want to say more words to him.

"Yi Ze's front face is simple and fashionable, full of sci-fi and combat atmosphere, which is very suitable for young people to control. Fang Yuan believes that compared with the mediocre and mellow of the early Toyota, the current Highlander, and the large-area middle net of Lexus, Yize's style is sharp and not exaggerated, very attractive, and it is simply tailor-made for young people.

Wu Hongjie agrees with Fang Yuan's opinion: "This style is more suitable for young people who have just entered the society, or even whose careers are on the rise, and want to show their personality." ”

"Your judgment is very in place, and now many car companies have begun to imitate the front face design of Rongfang and Yize, and almost slightly changed their models. Fang Yuan motioned for Wu Hongjie to follow him to Yi Ze's side.

Next to this Yize is an old Highlander, and the one-meter-wide aisle between the two is a little narrow, and the two of them barely stand away.

Wu Hongjie took a step back and leaned tightly against the door of the Highlander, looking at the side shape with difficulty.

Looking at it fiercely, Wu Hongjie even thought it was a two-door Coupe model, but the position of the front door handle and the gap between the rear door reminded him that this should be a fake five-door five-seater SUV.

"Yes, my brother's observation is very careful, if you are not familiar with Yize, you will indeed think that it is a two-door coupe model. Fang Yuan first pointed to the rear door window.

The position of the hidden rear door door handle is too high, almost catching up with the position at the top of the window, and it is really difficult to find it if it is the first time you see Yi Ze.

Wu Hongjie smiled bitterly and joked: "Why is the design so high? ”

"Brother, have you forgotten Yi Ze's positioning?" Fang Yuan explained, "Yi Ze's appearance designer didn't think about children at all. ”

Fang Yuan patted the rear door window, Yi Ze not only had a high position on the rear door handle, but the size of its rear door window was also very weird, the area was so narrow that it was about the size of an adult man's head, and it was not sure if a slightly fat man could stick it out.

However, the design idea of reducing the area of the window and increasing the door panel makes the whole body produce a visual effect of low front and high back, and Yi Ze outlines a more three-dimensional side profile of the body through the two waist lines on the side.

At the same time, the plastic trim on the bottom of the car makes the proportion of the body appear thinner, and with the design of the two wheel arches with a strong sense of concave and convex at the front and rear, Yize looks full of sportiness.

In addition, the jet-black B-pillar and floating roof are also very stylish and sporty, and all these designs and efforts on the sides are precisely to create the illusion of a beautiful and flowing coupe.
