If there is no, Toyota Crown will not die

In the past 100 years of automobiles, a lot of classic models that continue to date were born. However, in the face of the renewal iteration of the classic car, the car enterprise did not stage the “horse lost front and hoof” … and today I have to debut, there is no shortage of design, quality problems ruined the family. typical! Who is it?

as one of the most loved luxury sedan of JDM powder, Toyota Crown absolute It is a classic of uncomage in everyone’s heart. But the market has always been circulated such that “there is no crown after 12 generations”. The reason, or because Toyota launched the 13th crowns launched by the end of 2009, as a large-scale sedan of the 5-Series, E-class and A6L, the 13th generation crown in order to pursue the young trend, actually I gave up the old artistic elegant style, turning the sports style, it looked like a large number of arrogance, completely with the crown of the audience!

13.5 Recrimination

13 generations of crown huge styles, directly killing a victimate, especially the 13.5-generation model launched in 2012, It is aimed at the Chinese market for a large mouth of the Audi style, and is designed to completely lose the essence of Japanese luxury cars. At the same time, the Crown as an authentic JDM model is limited to the narrow street in Japan, and the body width is also narrow, only about 1.8 meters, and it is more than 5 cm compared to the opponent. In addition, the rear spatial space of the Crown faces no advantage, naturally, naturally, in the market terminal, naturally. In fact, it is not only domestic, even in the Japanese local market, because the people have declined in the demand of luxury cars, and the crown is also walking down the downhill.

In 2018, the 15th-generation crown based on TNGA architecture was only 2 years later. Toyota announced the suspension of this classic model. Today, Crown has become a high-end brand of FAW Toyota in China, and released a crown version of Hanlan Dota model in Shanghai Auto Show.For the Crown. If you look back in history, the 13th generation crown is definitely the turning point of the Crown Car, also known as the starting point of the crown fading.

Strict meaning, domestic Sagitar is affiliated with the German Volkswagen Jetta (Jetta) The car system has posted a total of 7-generation models since 1979. The first generation of the first generation Fang Jetta is the second generation of the Jeeta car system, and the domestic old treasure is the fourth-generation model of Jetta.

The second generation of speeds

Compared with the first generation of the first generation, the first generation of SGTA is essentially the 5th generation of Germany, and today we have to say Domestic second generation speed Tenden is the sixth generation of the Jetta car system, the first at the end of the North American market at the end of 2010, FAW-Volkswagen introduces domestic. Compared with the former model, the second generation of Speed ​​has continued the PQ35 platform, but the wheelbase is 73mm, reaching 2651mm, and the rear space is more spacious. And a combination of 1.4T + 7DSG, and 1.8T + 7DSG is provided, which is definitely very good in a compact sedan.

However, FAW-Volkswagen made a serious mistake on the second generation of speed, in order to save costs, domestic version of Sagitar did not follow overseas Sagitar’s high multi-connect rod, low-to-torque beam suspension combination, but the whole system uses a rear torque beam suspension. Although the torque beam suspension is used on a compact car, it is not a moral problem, but with the sagitar’s listing, its post-rogue is due to design defects, there has been a large-area broken axis problem, and has become a car. The hottest topic of the circle. In fact, the Sagitar’s broken axis is not China’s exclusive. When the overseas torque, Sagitar also happens, but because there are fewer sales, plus road conditions and other factors have not caused too much attention.

In tens of thousands of owners, and under the pressure of the Quality Supervision Prevention, FAW-Volkswagen had to recall 560,000 depositsSagitar models in the hazard hazard. However, the practice of the public recall has made countless owners feel disappointed. This thought that the Volkswagen will replace new suspensions for the recalled model, and the results of the solution actually increase a set of patchs in the position that may fracture, that is, well-known “patch” operation.

After the patch is finished, the post-suspended longitudinal arm becomes double-slide from the original single-chip structure, and is not from Fundamentally solve the hidden danger of the broken axis, only reducing the probability of the breaking axis to a certain extent. And the disaster is not, the speed of the speed of the shaft has not yet filed, and the dry dual-clutch speed box has begun to have problems, which is no different from the snow that has just been listed.

Then, in the annual change after the Sagitar Listed for 2 years, the public had to re-replace a multi-link suspension, relying on The golden signboard of the old generation sagitar, and the mass brand in China is extremely high, sagitar quickly comes out from the shadow of the broken axis, re-steadying the position of the sales list 10. However, the story of the popular disconnection is also completely left in the hearts of the car, and today, she will still be discussed.

The third generation of speed sales today, because of the MQB platform, and more biased towards the tuning style of light driving feelings, there is no longer The old “Deli”, but there is no big-area fault wind wave such as a broken axis, and the word of mouth is still steadily. In this way, the “broken gantry” of the previous generation of sagitar is indeed a historical stain of the speed of the speed.

As one of the most classic sports cars in the human automobile industry, Porsche 911 classic The shape design, the rear rearwriting structure of years inheritance, which makes it the most classic sports car in the fascinating race. However, in the history of 911 for 57 years, there is such a generation of models that have faltered in countless cars, it is the 996 launched in 1997.The model.

996 is a work for Mr. Pinky LAI, due to the air-cooled engine used by the previous generation model 993 It has reached the bottleneck, and it is uncomfortable to meet the upcoming 21st century for performance. Thus, the Lai Pingjian designed the first 911-996 in the history of Porsche.

If the development process of the 911 car system, 996 is called before the first generation, because it is a 911 car department since the initial generation of 1964 Since the birth of 901, the first realistic “replacement”. From the chassis architecture, to internal and external design, to the power system, they have ushered in a comprehensive update.

Left: 993 / Right: 996

However, 996 is smashed by a lot of cars, or because it abandoned the previous generation of 911 round The design of the lamp is changed to an irregular shape called “fried egg” by the car. As we all know, the most classic design of 911 is its round headlights, 996 abandoned this element naturally be protected from countless insurance.

When Porsche launched a replacement model 997 in 2005, the circular headlights came back, and it was a for 911. The first chaos of the car system is anyging. However, from the perspective of the development of the car system, although the shape of the 996 is designed, the importance is not in the initial model 901 in the architecture, technical contribution.

That is said that there is a meaningful little story here. In 1964, Porsche was in the first generation of 911, the earliest is to call it 901, but because the French car brand has been registered with all the three-digit car standards for all the middle 0 0, the name of Porsche 901 cannot be sold in France. So, the Porsche will change 901 to 911, but will still put the chassis of the first generation 911Code named “901”, is also disdain to the French!

said Mercedes-Benz CLS, it is absolutely calculated on the four sedan of Mercedes The model of running is now launched a total of 3 generations. To say the first two generations of CLS, the shape design is full of “elegant”! Running lines, sexy car tail, overall design language is very harmonious. Especially the second generation CLS, but also push the design of the Mercedes-Benz coupe in a new peak.

With the release of the third generation of Mercedes-Benz CLS in 2018, the beauty left by CLS is shining. .. is the design of the triangular eye light, although the murder is full, but the problem is, the current market is all murderous cars. The first two generations of elegant temperament is the big breeze that can not be met now. It is also the core of CLS once sought after.

If the change in the front face is the words of seeing the benevolence, then the 3rd generation CLS is called “mouse crossing” …. Due to the roof of the third-generation CLS, the rounded design style is still used, but the designer designs an aggressive triangle taillight, which is incorporated with the styling of the whole vehicle. Extended the platelet from the center of the tail door to the bottom bumper position, leading to the visual center of the car … The endless of the viewer is falling in the end of the car, will feel very strange.

More serious is that the new CLS actually has a 1.5T engine on the basis of the profile design deviates from the family inheritance, and the mainstream aesthetics. CLS 260 model, and price is $ 576,800! According to the current trend, as well as the design style of Mercedes-Benz new electric car EQS, Mercedes-Benz is likely to continue the next generation of CLS models, one generation of classics to collect such design style, it is really awkward.

As one of the most well-known family seirs in the world, Honda Civic has always been taken into account. Sports control and home practical use of selling points, it is very suitable for young housing users, and episodes have always been a frequently speaking leader in the sales list. In addition, the car fans who pay attention to Honda Civic believe that the Civic has always been a non-payment statement, meaning that the singles of the singles will usually be small, while the double generation will have a big upgrade improvement.

Although everyone has a single-generation expectation, with the release of the 9th generation in 2010, countless fans still can’t help but Tucao: Honda is also too embarrassed! The 9-generation field is more fine-tuning than the shape of 8 generations, and the interior and power are unable to make the interior, saying that it is an exaggeration of medium-term relevance!

More importantly, for domestic users, the 8-generation field is the first version of the officially introduced domestic version, with It has been widely praised by its dynamic profile, and the most popular interior has won wide comment. And 9 generations of new thinking, it seems that there is no difference with the 8-year car model 6 years ago, is you already?

Perhaps it is a real estimate of the failure of the 9-generation, Honda directly made an unprecedented upgrade in the 10th-generation field. The shape design is new, and the style of slippery is more dynamic. In addition, the power is more powerful from the old 141 hp 1.8L self-suction engine to the powerful 177 hp 1.5T engine, the measured level of 0-100km / h accelerates the level of 7 seconds, and can even be equipped with 2.4L high power engine. 9 generation Si model! This also once got the “Farai”, “Super Run” and other title! Dongfeng Honda is also a timely stop loss. After only 4 years, only 4 years later, there is a domestic 10th-generation model. After the new car is listed, it will not be a lot of expectations, and there is a prosperous situation in the price!

Take a look at the latest 11th generation, although it is also a single generation, but this replacement can be more sincere in the original 9-generation situation! The shape of the shape is fully innovative, the wheelbase is longer, and the power is more powerful. This is really a real way. Perhaps starting with the 11th Site, “buy double do not buy a single” said that it is ended!

To say Fox, it is definitely in the heart of the car Extremely classic sports hatchback. As a pure European car designed and developed in Germany, Fox lands the driver’s feelings in European hatchbacks. Fox currently launched a total of 4-generation models. In the history of 4-generation models, the generation of “stains” is the previous version of the previous generation.

On the Detroit Auto Show in January 2010, Ford launched the 3nd generation Focus model, a new generation of models in chassis architecture, design, power system Aspects have a full range of upgrades. And because the public is pushing the DSG double clutch alternative, Ford is also equipped with a PowerShift 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox in the new Fox to replace the 4AT of the old models.

It is fairly the two-clutch gearbox that seems technology upgrade, but it has become a product of 10,000 people after the listing of Fox. This Fox’s gearbox is 6-speed dry double clutch provided by Germany supplied Shangtrak, which is extremely easy to overheat in congestion, and the mileage is more than 20,000 kilometers, it is easy to show clutch failure, transmission leakage Oil, unable to shift and other issues, as for dry double clutch, common low speed, displacement, such as shift, etc., is like home. It is precisely because this PowerShift gearbox is bad performance, even a car fan called it as: PowerShit!

Ford apparently realizes that the double clutch alternate is not reliableSo, in the renewal of Focus, a more reliable Ford home 6AT gearbox is replaced. But the worse reputation left by the third generation Focus is hard to save. As for the 4th generation Focus sold today, although the whole system uses a three-cylinder engine, there is currently no quality problem, the word of mouth is much better than the predecessor.

At the Guangzhou Auto Show, Chevrolet released a new compact type Car Cruze, as a maximum of the vocational Sagitar, Honda Civic. Only 148,900 guidance prices of 1.8L + 6AT top with the 1.8L + 6AT top match (20,000 quaranti is cheaper than the same size), the initial generation of Cruze quickly became the Dreamcar of young people after 80!

By the “Transformers” movie in the year, Chevrolet also launched a version of Cruze’s rumor, and the movie is also used. ” The yellow painting and black drawing of the prototell Camaro, which can be said to earn eye and sales.

When the time came to 2014, Chevrolet launched the second generation of Cruze, this car replaced a more powerful 1.4T engine. 0-100km / h accelerated time from the old 1.8L 12 seconds to 8.5 seconds, the fuel consumption is also reduced by 2L! I thought that everything would become more beautiful, but Chevrolet ignored a most critical factor, which is the shape design of New Cruze becomes too “Koreanization.” Compared with Old Cruze’s strength, the shape of the muscle car, the second generation of Cruze’s shape is like a cheap Korean car, there is no previous charm.

To know, Old Cruze can sell well, a large extent to be due to shape design, and the results of Chevrolet put the biggest selling point . In the end, due to the sales volume, plus Chevrolet has launched more special models in the Chinese market, the second generation Cruze has only 2In 2001, it announced that it was stopped from the city and did not launch a subsequent model. A generation of classic destroys this, it is really awkward.

[123 ] Speaking of “the most beautiful public”, many people will definitely out of “CC”! Especially in 2010, the public CC is coming out of the world, but also with elegant and dynamic shape design, and the very rare frameless doorless door of the car has won countless praise, although the price of CC is more expensive than the same specification. More than 30,000 yuan, but still has a very good sales, perfect explanation, “Long handsome can really eat”!

1.5 generation CC

Unfortunately, the good scene is not long, the 2013 public launched CC The medium-term change model, when the photo of the new car is announced, countless fans are shocked directly. The new CC has changed the oldest headlights and taillight design, and the cross-bar type Sino-China network is completely used in the same period Magotan, Passat and other popular models, and completely a member of the public. The full-scale reverse of the value, allowing the sales of CCs to be thousands of feet, from 4,000 stable monthly sales, fell to 3,000 monthly sales, which needed to rely on a large discount.

Today, although the second generation CC has a full-scale progress in the value of the color, there is no choice to change, entry-level BBA medium-sized sedan The price range within 300,000 has been taken, but CC still has not been able to put down its arrogant body, and finally have to gradually disappear in the sight of the valerian fan …

At the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2005, Audi issued the first SUV – Q7, this car Localized large luxury SUV, and provides 7 layouts, shapesThe design is very tough, the front face is like a domineering shark, 5085mm car head and 3002mm wheelbase, but also the BMW X5 and Mercedes ML.

In addition, Audi Q7 also provides two gasoline power of 3.6L V6, 4.2L V8, and 3.0TDI V6, 4.2TDI V8 and 6.0tdi V12 diesel engine optional, of which 6.0TDI V12 models are also sold in China, and the price is up to 25.68 million yuan! Coupled with the excellent off-road capabilities of Audi mechanical Quattro’s full-time four-wheel drive system, Audi Q7 has quickly become a benchmark product of millions of luxury SUVs, which in China has to increase the car, and the momentum is completely covered. BMW X5 and Mercedes ML.

Perhaps the initial Q7 is too successful, and Audi has a little slow down for Q7, until the 2015 North American Auto Show launched in 10 years. 2 generation Q7. It can be started from this car, Q7 is going to decline … When designing the second generation Q7, Audi is too pursuit of young, causing Q7’s shape to look like a magnified version of Q5, I didn’t have the old Q7 dominant feeling.

More importantly, when the opponent update is constantly increasing, Audi actually has a road to the second generation. The car length of Q7 is shortened to 5052mm, which is 33mm shorter than the old paragraph, and the wheelbase is also shortened from the original 3002mm to 2994mm. Because of this, the competitiveness of Audi Q7 has been compressed in the competition with BMW X5 and Mercedes Gle, and is forced to open a discount. Further reduced its own brand worth, it is difficult to turn over.

Although Audi has made a lot of improvements in the mid-term change Q7 launched in 2020, but helpless encounters BMW. In 2018, the “strongest” in history “X5, and Mercedes-Benz pushed in 2019The new generation of GLE, these two competitors have extremely powerful products, so Q7 tries to turn over the mid-term change, it seems unlikely to achieve …

Tourway is a off-road vehicle launched in 2018 in 2018, usually seen as Second Palain’s successor in China. At that year, the attention is very high, because the days of the Japanese off-road vehicle are generally high, Prado 2700 is priced at more than 400,000, and the domestic off-road vehicle word of mouth is general. It is necessary to launch an old Japanese car company in Nissan. The product of the people.

, especially its predecessor Palatin, is a generation of classics, hardcore shape design, stepped roof, as well as the right and reliable quality, obtained Many views of cross-country players and engineering units are now able to see Palatin’s figure in many parts of the west.

From the perspective of the cost-effective, the route is indeed very cheap. 2.5L QR25 engine power than Prado’s 2.7 is better; the front binary arm, the back overall bridge-type suspension structure, and the non-carrier body is a pure off-road vehicle quality. In addition, Tour is also a time-free four-wheel drive and the rear bridge mechanical differential lock, and the hardware capabilities of cross-country are also excellent. Under this premise, the price of the top models is only 245,800, and the B Prado 2700 is less than 100,000, and it is absolutely calculated that the price is excellent!

Unfortunately, everything in the vision is destroyed on its gearbox, although the Tour is used with the same paragraph JATCO 7AT gearbox, but the level of adjustment is real, not only is very obvious, but also is very obvious, and it is also very easy to show the gearbox shake, drag and other problems. In the low speed four-drive mode, the speed box does not even fall. 1 stop.

[123Establishing a cross-country classmates know that when cross-country, the vehicle gearbox must be able to lock in a gear, so that the accurate throttle control can help the vehicle take off. Especially in the low speed four-wheel mode, the torque of 1 gear is the greatest, and the strongest ability is also stronger. The viaducta is not given to 1 gear at this time, and naturally affects the vehicle’s off-road capabilities to a certain extent.

The shortage of its own products, plus the rise of Haval H9, Tank 300 and other models, and Tournament has now been abandoned by the mainstream cross-country player. With the continuous reduction in the amount of insurance, the maintenance, maintenance, modification and other environments in the rear market will become more difficult. I have to say that the classic Japanese civilian off-road vehicle in Palain falls to present, and it is really sorry!

How to determine whether a vehicle is successful, in fact, see a new car listing After that, the second-hand car market for the previous generation will know. If the previous generation of the second-hand car is plummeted, the new car is great successful. And if the previous generation of the second-hand car is not reduced, then the new generation of models fail. The Land Rover found 5 is the latter. Since the found 5 in 2016, after the release of overseas, the four quotations in China began to rise, once become a wealth management product.

What is the reason, or because it is found that 5 cannot be found in the past. First, find 5’s shape design is no longer tighter, but use more round and thin lines, weaken it as an off-road vehicle. In addition, four classic stepped car tops were found, and there was no continuation on the discovery 5.

Left: Discover 4 / Right: Discovery 5

This is not a focus, found that 5 is mostly the most, and it is also the most affected it. It is a car tail design. Although I found that 5 and find 4 used the design style of the bias frame, but found 4 Fang Zheng’s car, vertical taillight design, plug-in asymmetric linesLet it look very harmonious, it is also very identified. At this time, I discovely found that 5’s car tail can be described in disasters. It was found that the tailed lamp used in the lateral layout, which is more suitable for symmetrical car tail design. If you forced a symmetrical shape, it will be particularly surprised.

Further, the process of finding 5 is still more than the shape, as a model that biased the off-road positioning, and found that 5 also canceled the girders and turned into Carrying the same load with the Range Rover. Although the official said that the new body is more rigid, there is no independent girdle, all the stresses will be spaced by the frame when the limit is off-road, and the time is long, and the body is difficult to produce deformation and abnormal sound. Because of this, it was found that the status of 5 in the heart of the cross-country player had a thousand feasters. As expected, it is only possible to support the streets, only 10,000 huge benefits barely support.

In summary, the manufacturer can be replaced in the automobile. It is inevitable that there will be a deviation of a generation of models. If it can be corrected in time, it can also save the lost market. If the face failed cannot be adjusted in time, then it comes to the death of the car system. Just like this 11 trucks mentioned today, they are now different, and some are still active in the automotive market, but some have waved with us early, farewell in advance …
