Chapter 341 Have You Watched Star Wars?
Chapter 361: Have you seen Star Wars yet?
Japanese cars have already done a good job in terms of safety configuration. For example, the 2019 Honda Civic 220TURBO CVT combustion engine version has five airbags, lane departure, tire pressure monitoring, body stability control, active safety and other configurations are also very comprehensive. .

However, today's Toyota is even more powerful in terms of safety configuration. For example, the 2018 Toyota Yize 2.0L Yichi version in front of you is [-] cheaper than the official guide price. In addition, there are two more airbags than it.

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

……

Fang Yuan compared many aspects. Wu Hongjie next to him knew that Toyota was at the upper level among Japanese cars in terms of materials and configuration, but he didn't know what Fang Yuan meant by saying this, so he seemed a little confused.

"What I mean is, if you compare all Japanese cars to students in school, car companies such as Honda, Subaru, Mazda, etc. are special students who are particularly good at a certain homework, while Toyota is more like all homework at the upper level. , but did not reach the full 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 did not perform at a normal level.

"I understand when you put it this way, Honda's engines are powerful, Subaru's are all four-wheel drive and have boxer engines, Mazda is known as the Japanese BMW, they all have their specialties, and it's no problem to go 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 it can be admitted to two colleges and one, but it cannot be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. "Wu Hongjie is still confused at this point. He is very puzzled that Toyota has already achieved this level. Why not pursue perfection and achieve the ultimate in all aspects? Try to take the Tsinghua University's undergraduate, master, and doctoral exams. it is good?

"Because of cost control." Fang Yuan guessed that Toyota's idea is to surpass the Japanese competitors by a little bit, and it is enough to gain an advantage. It is better to pursue perfection. In that case, the cost is too high, and the price of the car is also higher. After all, Toyota's models The positioning is a family car, and the price is too high. The only thing waiting for Toyota is death.

"It's a pity." Wu Hongjie felt a little regretful.

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

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

There are also many shortcomings, such as low configuration, thin paint, and it is said that the thin skin is not safe. There has been an embarrassing incident where a Corolla rear-ends a bicycle and the bicycle is embedded in the front of the Corolla.

What makes Fang Yuan complain the most is that Toyota's "early" models have a mediocre design idea. They have no outstanding advantages and no shortcomings. Whether it is appearance, power or interior, everything is stable and not brilliant. Characters on the street that are automatically filtered and ignored.

Wu Hongjie nodded. As Fang Yuan expected, he was not familiar with Japanese cars, but he was a car dealer after all, so he knew more or less about Japanese cars.

Fang Yuan's introduction was completely consistent with what Wu Hongjie had grasped, which proved that Fang Yuan was not fooling around indiscriminately, and that he was a very real person.

And there are many things that Wu Hongjie doesn't know. Hearing Fang Yuan's introduction of the car model, Wu Hongjie has the feeling that he will go back to the past and study with his master, as if he has received re-education to enrich himself.

However, while Wu Hongjie lamented Fang Yuan's superior knowledge of automobiles, he noticed that he always emphasized the four words "early Toyota". Could it be that Toyota still grows like plants and animals, divided into early, middle, and late stages?

"I think the current Toyota is very different from the early ones." Fang Yuan believes that the early Toyotas followed the "moderate" route, with durable leather, stable quality, fuel-efficient, worry-free maintenance and cheap maintenance. All are out of consideration.

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

"Later, with the rise of domestically-produced cars and being scolded more, Toyota also began to change, and it was the biggest change." Just as the two walked up to the white SUV, Fang Yuan raised his hand to let Wu Hongjie pay attention to it. "Camry, Highlander, and Corolla have all undergone earth-shaking changes in appearance, but I think the designs of Yize and RAV4 are the most successful."

"Look here." Fang Yuan squatted directly in front of Yize's right, his palms pressed against the headlights, "The slender flared headlights are like diamond cuts, and there is a hint of sharpness between the luxurious brows, which is strange The shape is very recognizable."

"Look here again." Fang Yuan slid his palm to the right along the front center grille, "The black center grille is slender and narrow, so narrow that it is almost negligible, forming a sharp contrast with the large-area center grilles of Highlander and Lexus Compared."

But in Fang Yuan's view, it is the width that people with bad eyesight will ignore perfectly connects the left and right sides, and the formed through-type front grille design with slender headlights exudes a fighting atmosphere.

"These two headlights are really scary." Wu Hongjie looked at the place Fang Yuan indicated, and sure enough, as he said, the slender headlights have been outlined to the side of the hood, and the weird shape makes the front of the car even better. There is a god, and there is a fierce taste.

"And here." Fang Yuan pointed his fingers from top to bottom, "If we say that the long and narrow middle net reduces all unnecessary elements, the split bars make the front face more layered."

Fang Yuan pointed to the sloping air intakes on both sides, pointing out that this is fake and has no practical effect.

But it is this kind of decoration that makes the finishing touch, making Yize's front face more three-dimensional, 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, when 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 brightly, very curious why Fang Yuan asked this question?
"Look at all the elements blended together, does the front of this Yize look like the helmet of a stormtrooper of the Imperial Army?" Fang Yuan stood in front of Yize, his arms gliding in the air, asking Wu Hongjie to recall and compare carefully .

Wu Hongjie put his chin in his hand and stared at Yize's front face, showing a surprised smile. Not to mention, the white paint surface and this sci-fi shape are indeed somewhat similar to the helmets of the soldiers of the Imperial Army Stormtroopers in Star Wars.

"Hahaha, it's really like this." Wu Hongjie couldn't stop laughing, "I guess the inspiration of Toyota's designers came from Star Wars."

Strange women can chat about clothes and cosmetics. Strange men have more ways to communicate, give each other a cigarette, and talk about football, basketball, and cars in the smoke. In short, there are many common languages.

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

Moreover, after Wu Hongjie got acquainted with Fang Yuan, the smiles on his face increased. He felt that Fang Yuan was knowledgeable, humorous, and friendly to others, without the arrogance of being superior and domineering.

Regardless of temperament, conversation, and ability, Wu Hongjie couldn't help but want to talk to him a few more words.

"Yize's front face is simple and stylish, full of sci-fi and combat atmosphere, which is very suitable for young people to control." Fang Yuan believes that compared with the middling and mellow early Toyota, the current Highlander and Lexus' large center grille, Yize's style Sharp but not exaggerated, very attractive, it is 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 their careers are on the rise, and want to show their individuality."

"Your judgment is very good. Now many car companies have begun to imitate the front design of Rongfang and Yize, and they almost put it on their own models after a little modification." Fang Yuan motioned Wu Hongjie to follow him to the side of Yize. .

Next to this Yize was an old model Highlander. The one-meter-wide aisle between the two was a bit narrow, and the two of them barely stood apart.

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

At first glance, Wu Hongjie even thought it was a two-door coupe, but the position of the front door handle and the gap in the rear door reminded him that this should be a genuine five-door, five-seat SUV.

"Yes, my brother observes very carefully. If you are not familiar with Yize, you will really think it is a two-door Coupe model." Fang Yuan first pointed to the rear door window.

The position of the hidden rear door handle is on the high side, almost reaching the position of the top of the car window. If it's the first time you see Yize, it's really hard to find it all of a sudden.

Wu Hongjie smiled wryly, and joked, "Why is the design so high? Children can't reach it at all."

"Brother, have you forgotten Yize's position?" Fang Yuan explained, "Yize's exterior designer didn't consider children at all."

Fang Yuan patted the rear door window. Not only is the handle of the rear door high, but the size of the rear window is also weird. The area is so narrow that it is about the size of a grown man's head. uncertain.

However, the design idea of ​​reducing the window area and enlarging the door panel makes the whole body have a visual effect of low front and high rear. In addition, Yize outlines a relatively three-dimensional body through the two waistlines on the side. profile.

At the same time, the plastic trim on the bottom of the car makes the proportion of the car body look thinner, and with the design of the front and rear two wheel eyebrows with a strong sense of bumps, it makes Yize look full of sportiness.

In addition, the black B-pillar and suspended roof are also very fashionable and sporty. All the designs and efforts on the side are just to create an illusion of exquisite and elegant coupe.
