Chapter 346: Yes, I said it (ask for subscription)

Fang Yuan's evaluation of the handling of this Citroen C5 is too high, so high that it is beyond the imagination of Li Lezhi and Lao Hu.

If the two of them didn't know Fang Yuan's identity, they would have thought that he was a water army on the Internet, and whether they had received Citroen money.

Li Lezhi looked suddenly enlightened: "If it weren't for listening to your introduction today, I wouldn't have known that the control of Citroen C5 is as good as that of the German system." ”

Fang Yuan shook his head slightly, and did not agree with Li Lezhi's statement: "The driving and suspension texture of Citroen C5 are really good, but there is a difference between them and the German handling. ”

"What's the difference in control?" Lao Hu and Li Lezhi were a little puzzled, not knowing what Fang Yuan meant.

Fang Yuan lowered his head and thought about it, and gave an example in order to explain clearly to Li Lezhi and Lao Hu: "Boss Li, you are a Japanese car, you should know Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ." ”

"Of course I do. As a car dealer, especially the main German and Japanese car dealers, Li Lezhi is very familiar with the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, because he sells one or two cars almost every few months.

Li Lezhi quickly replied: "Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ seem to have different appearances, different 000 acceleration, different prices, in fact, they should be regarded as sister models, their handling is equally excellent, but for different customers, the advantage of the two compared with Toyota 86 is the corner, and the advantage of Subaru BRZ is the straight line." ”

Li Lezhi's explanation was simple and clear, and he perfectly answered Fang Yuan's question, and Fang Yuan said happily: "The analysis is very good, that's what I mean." ”

Fang Yuan added that his views are exactly the same as Li Lezhi's, and he also believes that Toyota 86 is more suitable for cornering, and Subaru BRZ is a low center of gravity runner, but it is not that Toyota 86 can't go on a straight track, and Subaru BRZ can't run on mountain roads, just that the two have different advantages compared with each other.

In some competitions, you can see the figure of Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ at the same time, standing on the same running line to fight for the driver's driving and modification skills, there is no cowardice to the car, only coercion, to see who can give full play to the car's maximum potential.

In the same way, in Fang Yuan's view, the difference between Citroen C5 and German cars is the same, it is not that they have good handling, but like the twin sisters of Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, Citroen C5 and German cars have different emphases.

Fang Yuan and Li Lezhi chatted very comfortably, and the topics provoked by one party in terms of cars could always be echoed by the other party, and they even had a sense of sympathy for each other, and they couldn't help but get a lot closer.

The two discussed excitedly, and Lao Hu could hardly interject, he and Li Lezhi had different experiences and insights, and their realms were high.

Regarding the question raised by Li Lezhi, Fang Yuan continued to explain: "In order to make it clear that the handling of Citroen C5 and German cars is different, we can look at it from another angle. ”

Fangyuan has always believed that no matter how expensive or low, no matter how big or small, no matter how good or bad the performance is, the most suitable model for your needs is the most perfect.

This is true for individuals who choose and buy cars, and the same is true for car companies that design and produce cars.

The best-selling models produced by car companies in each country must be the most in line with their own national conditions, in line with their own needs, and occupy a greater advantage in their own country, so that they can have spare strength and capital to expand to foreign countries.

From this direction as an entry point, Fang Yuan felt that a country's terrain, national driving habits, oil prices and other factors affected the performance of their own cars.

Lao Hu and Li Lezhi nodded at the same time, feeling that Fang Yuan's angle of answering the question was very peculiar, and at the same time they agreed with Fang Yuan's statement, they also thought that if a car company's sales in their home country were poor, let alone foreigners to accept it.

Before introducing the control of Citroen and German cars, Fang Yuan first talked about the situation of the bald eagle country, a big automobile country, and used it as a reference for Li Lezhi and Lao Hu.

The transportation of the Bald Eagle Country is developed, the construction of expressways started early, and the network runs through almost all cities in the country.

At the same time, the country is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the land area is flat, so the highway interstate in the Bald Eagle Country is long, such as the highway from New York to Los Angeles is 4556km, making it the longest highway in the world, and the road surface is straight in many areas.

And the highways in the Bald Eagle Country are in good condition, and six-lane, eight-lane or even ten-lane roads are not uncommon.

The highway in the country of Bald Eagle is long, the road condition is good, the traffic flow is small, and it has such good road conditions, which causes the people of the country of Bald Eagle to drive very arrogantly.

In addition, the oil price in North America is far lower than the international oil price, unlike Huaxia has a maximum of 130 US dollars, the lowest price protection of 40 US dollars, some time ago the price of gasoline oil was even as low as seven cents per liter of Huaxia currency, so the bald eagle people like the huge size, high displacement, fierce power, charming sound, linear power output models, fuel consumption, and handling is not very concerned, exaggerated to close your eyes on the long and empty highway to run it.

In the seventies of the last century, the muscle car can be said to be the king of the road, and it is also the golden age of the Bald Eagle country car, with large displacement self-priming are all 6-cylinder starts, fast speed, zero hundred acceleration cattle ratio.

For example, the most popular mid-size car at the time, the Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454, was powered by a 7.4-liter V8 engine with a maximum output of 450 hp and a time of 6 seconds to 100 km/h.

For example, the Pontiac GTO is powered by a 6.4-liter V8 engine with an output of 325 hp at 4,800 rpm, with an optional "Tri-power" increase in horsepower to 348 hp and a time of 6.6 seconds to 100 km/h.

The car is too fierce, the number of traffic accident fatalities in the Bald Eagle country is still high, there is really no way, the Bald Eagle country also has a speed limit on sparsely populated interstates, but the speed requirements of each state are different, the maximum speed is mostly limited to 105 to 121 per hour, and the highest speed is in Texas, with a maximum speed limit of 137 per hour.

Now the economy of the Bald Eagle Country is not as good as before, and the sales of muscle cars are declining, but their love for big cars has not diminished at all Back then, the top three car sales in the country in 2019 are still Ford F-150, Dodge pickups, and Chevrolet Sorod super-large models with a body length of more than five meters and a wheelbase of more than three meters.

The Bald Eagle country is sparsely populated, the highway is long, the traffic flow is small, and the fuel price is low.

Because Germany is located in the middle of Europe, its traffic is also developed, the road is wide and flat, the road environment is good, and some high-speed roads have no speed limit at all, but the population density is large, the traffic flow is large, and it is the country with the most neighboring countries in Europe.

The models needed in Germany must be compact, with a short wheelbase, fast speed, stable chassis and good handling at top speed, so that they can shuttle in the traffic like a swimming fish, smoothly overtake and merge into the line, and are not prone to accidents.

It is also this situation in Germany that has created classic models such as the Golf, BMW 3 Series and so on.

A bulky model like the Bald Eagle is even more unsuitable for France.

France also has a lot of cars, its streets are narrow and the road conditions are poor, parking is very tight, and it is a hilly area with rugged and curved mountain roads.

Even on the highway, you are almost always turning all the time, and you have to complete actions such as overtaking and merging while turning.

The road environment has created the direct and flexible handling characteristics of French cars, even if the wheelbase is short, the space is small, and the configuration is low, but the cornering handling must be good, otherwise it will not be sold at all.

"I understand that the relationship between German and French cars in terms of handling is like that of Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ, which are really two very different driving experiences. Under Fang Yuan's guidance, even Lao Hu understood the difference between German cars and French cars in terms of handling, and happily told Fang Yuan and the two of them his feelings.

"I think we also have a lot of cars in Huaxia, the roads in the city are narrow, and the steering wheel needs to be light and precise in pointing, and I prefer the driving texture and handling of the Citroen C5. Li Lezhi looked down at the Citroen C5 in front of him, his eyes were as tender as water, and he could see that he gradually liked this car.

Lao Hu also noticed the changes in Li Lezhi, and asked Fang Yuan with a smile: "Are there any other advantages?"

"Yes. Fang Yuan first pointed to the center console of this Citroen C5 and said to the two, "You have also touched it just now, its seats are leather, the steering wheel is leather, and even the hand pillow on the inside of the door is leather, and the rest of the interior feels soft to the touch, not the inferior hard plastic of ordinary models, and the workmanship materials are very conscientious, even among the products of the same level, the phenomenon of cutting corners is very rare." ”

The two of them helped open the hood of the Corolla, the Sutar. After introducing the interior of the Citroen C5, Fang Yuan pointed to the Corolla next to him and a Sutar farther away to ask Lao Hu and Li Lezhi to help.

Lao Hu and Li Lezhi didn't know what Fang Yuan wanted to do, but they still walked over separately as he instructed, and when they put up the hoods of the Corolla and Suteng, Fang Yuan also supported the hoods of the Citroen C5.

Lao Hu and Li Lezhi stood at the front of the car and turned their heads to look at Fang Yuan with depressed faces, and suddenly saw him pointing to the inside of the hood, and the two of them were even more confused, not knowing what Fang Yuan meant.

"Look at this soundproof cotton. The direction of Fang Yuan's finger was the soundproof cotton on the inside of the hood, signaling Li Lezhi and Lao Hu to compare.

Oh, so that's what it meant, Li Lezhi and Lao Hu suddenly smiled and looked up at the inside of the hood in front of them.

The soundproof cotton on the inside of the hood of the Corolla and Sutar is completely black, and a thin layer is tightly applied in the middle, leaving a large blank area around it.

As car dealers, Lao Hu and Li Lezhi know that in addition to the inside of the hood, there will be soundproof cotton in the four doors of the car.

It seems to be an ordinary and worthless thing, the role is very large, its main role is sound insulation and noise reduction, especially the sound insulation cotton on the inside of the hood and the effect of heat insulation.

Some car owners always feel that when starting the engine or driving normally, the noise of the engine and the tire noise seem to be directly rushed into the car without any isolation, and their heads buzz loudly, as if they are going to explode, that is, there is less sound insulation cotton or sound insulation cotton is missing catties and two catties and less than two does not play its due role.

There is another issue that needs to be paid attention to, that is, the material of soundproof cotton.

Some manufacturers are loaded with recycled cotton, and some manufacturers use virgin cotton, which has a peculiar smell and affects the health of passengers, obviously virgin cotton is better.

Nowadays, simple matching has become the trend, and many models even save this worthless thing, and they don't even install recycled cotton.

And the Sutar and Corolla in front of them still have this area and thickness, which is already good.

Lao Hu and Li Lezhi looked at each other's soundproofing cotton, and found that the area and thickness of the soundproofing cotton of Suteng and Corolla were almost the same.

There is nothing abnormal, Li Lezhi and Lao Hu turned their heads to look at Fang Yuan with confused faces again, but when they saw the hood of the Citroen C5, their eyes instantly widened.

The two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time, and their eyes pulled back to look at the Corolla and Suteng's soundproof cotton again, and laughed at the same time.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, Lao Hu and Li Lezhi feel that the soundproofing cotton of Suteng and Corolla is already very "conscience", who knows that the soundproofing cotton of Citroen C5 is thicker, the area is larger, and the color is not pitch black, obviously the materials are more environmentally friendly.

When they looked at Fang Yuan again, they finally understood what Fang Yuan meant, he was using this most inconspicuous thing to prove the reality of the materials used in Citroen C5.

Fang Yuan really has good intentions, he thinks that the introduction of dry mouth is better than letting Li Lezhi and Lao Hu find out the problem by themselves, so that they can make better judgments, which is much better than his own foaming explanation.

"Acoustic insulation is not valuable, but it can represent the attitude of OEMs towards customers. Fang Yuan told Lao Hu and Li Lezhi that Citroen C5 is also simple, but it is still a bottom line.

Li Lezhi's eyes shuttled between Suteng and Citroen C5 in front of him, he knew that what Fang Yuan said was the truth, and now some car companies have become too frustrated, and the places that can be seen are splendid, and the places that cannot be seen are simply simple and simple, and they are simply fooling customers as fools.

The chassis is tight and steady, the control is sharp and accurate, and the interior is exquisite and conscientious, Li Lezhi sighed that there are really not many car companies like Citroen, and suddenly walked in front of Fang Yuan, and said loudly: "This Citroen C5 is really good, I want it." ”

Lao Hu followed from a distance, and very much agreed with Li Lezhi's opinion: "A very conscientious car." ”

Fang Yuan smiled at Li Lezhi: "I advise you not to ask for it." ”

"What?" Lao Hu and Li Lezhi seemed to have heard a big joke, their eyes and chin fell to the ground, and they stared at Fang Yuan stupidly motionless.

After a while, Lao Hu stretched out his hand and pointed to the Citroen C5 next to him, and said depressedly: "Just now you said that it is exquisitely made and made of materials. ”

"yes, I said that. ”

Li Lezhi also followed up and said: "As you said just now, it is very powerful and accurate. ”

"That's right. ”

Lao Hu said: "Just now you said that its chassis is stable and tuned first-class. ”

"That's true. ”

"According to the standards you said, this Citroen C5 is so outstanding, why can't you ask for it?" Lao Hu and Li Lezhi really couldn't understand why Fang Yuan didn't want to buy it himself, this is too contradictory, right?

Li Lezhi really liked this car, and then explained: "I'm going to take it back and drive it to play." ”

"Whether you're collecting your car for fun or you're going to sell it, I don't recommend you take it. Fang Yuan once again reiterated his attitude and persuaded Li Lezhi to give up.

"Manager Fang, this Citroen C5 has a small mileage and a short life, it is still the original original paint, I think there is no problem......" Lao Hu remembered that Fang Yuan had introduced some basic information about this car, and wanted to question Fang Yuan's answer but was interrupted by Li Lezhi reaching out and holding his arm.

Li Lezhi is indeed full of question marks in his mind now, but through his communication with Fang Yuan, he knows that Fang Yuan is a stable person, since he said that he can't ask for it, there must be a reason why he can't ask for it, so he believes in Fang Yuan's judgment.
