Chapter 341 The beginning of joy

Because visitors have shown interest, this proves that small vans have a large market and are in line with the expectations of car buyers.

The only thing that makes car buyers hesitate is that this manufacturer called Lexus Auto does not know its background and strength. After all, 15,000 marks is not cheap. If you encounter a company that has not been perfect after-sales service and has poor operating conditions, you will be unlucky.

But the configuration given by this car manufacturer is indeed generous. The Previa is equipped with a 2.0l four-cylinder, v62.4l engine with a maximum power of 125 and 157 horsepower. Its engine is arranged under the driver's seat behind the front axle, and the front is air conditioning and air-cooling system. It not only creates a low center of gravity but also plays a role in balancing the counterweights with the front and rear. The power output form of the rear-wheel drive also makes long-distance driving safer and more stable. Driving this big car can give the driver the feeling of driving a car. The Previa's handling is more similar to a sedan, which is particularly important for multi-purpose models.

The most unique thing is that this model also has a luxurious interior. Although its appearance is clean and clean in addition to the large area of ​​glass, the interior space is very unique!

Previa's interior space is spacious and comfortable. It is not only equipped with leather seats, but also uses genuine leather soft-pack material in the instrument panel, inside the door, the middle armrest box, the steering wheel and gear handle, etc. The instrument panel is decorated with high-end walnut.

This configuration makes the interior space of the car look quite luxurious. Not only does the passengers not feel any odor when they sit in it, but the weight of more than 1 ton also makes the car have a very strong body, and the driver and passengers feel quite stable!

The appearance of Previa is also very distinctive. It adopts a large windshield design with a large slope with a wide field of view. The windshield and front cover form an overall exaggerated slope. Coupled with the two split headlights and the exquisite black front faces, the car looks obviously Japanese. In addition, large areas of glass are used on both sides and the rear of the car, which makes the driver and passengers have a very wide view and makes this black show car full of modernity. It attracts many people's attention!

Visitors and media people gathered to watch and examine the characteristics of this car, especially the use of a large area and wide-open windshield has become an eye-catching tool!

At the auto show, the only one of the Previa models launched by Lexus booths was launched at the Lexus booth. Lin Johnson went around for a few times but did not see a model with the same concept, which shows that most auto dealers may still be developing this model.

Lin Johnson originally intended to take out this car to test the waters in Europe and the United States, because he felt that such a fusion car was lacking in the European and American automobile markets in business and travel. The small van market has a broad prospect, and this market is in a blank period. When will he not do it?

Moreover, Lin Johnson himself also likes MPV models. This generation of Previa, which is tested, looks more like a van. He did not let this car serve as the birth model of MPV, and he had a better MPV in his heart. When Blücher was promoting it, he used the concept of a multi-purpose vehicle. However, he could not summarize the concept of MPV models, and Lin Johnson did not tell him.

As far as Lin Johnson knows, the Jetlong launched by Plymouth, a Chrysler branch in the United States, is the birth model of the MPV. The MPV launched in the late 1983 market reached 210,000 units in 1984. The small van voyager launched by Chrysler not only created a brand new model in the US automobile market, but also became an almost incredible money tree. In 1984, Chrysler made a record profit of US$2.4 billion, and in the next two years it made another profit of RMB3 billion.

The spurt of this new model directly brought the business in trouble Chrysler out of the trough and helped Chrysler out of the difficulties, which was in trouble!

With such a good record, how can Lin Johnson not worry about the Dragon of the Great Victory!

During the 10-day Frankfurt Motor Show, several cars from the newly established Lexus Motor Company attracted a lot of attention from visitors and media.

With the strong introduction of Blüchert, people have seen the company's Previa utility vehicle, Camry mid-range vehicle, Reiz markii luxury vehicle, and Yaris.

In particular, Yalis promotes fashion and dynamic young people, and its small and exquisite body and good performance have been favored by many women. This has also added many attempters to this car.

The Previa and Reiz Deluxe Edition are a bit expensive, and the price of the Previa 15,000 mark Deluxe Edition gives this car an order of 157 units. The Reiz Deluxe Edition is a bit dismal. This car is designed completely in American style and is naturally not favored by Europeans. It only ends with an order. There is a big question mark on this order, because Lin Johnson found that most of the list of orders for this car comes from Japanese!

There is no doubt that several Japanese manufacturers have also noticed the newly established automobile company of Lexus. The car companies brought about by this automobile company have many Japanese styles and characteristics. Of course, the Japanese are strange, so they ordered some Lexus cars to go back and have anatomy to understand this potential competitor.

Although Previa and Reiz are not selling well, Yalis and Camry have almost created sales miracles at the auto show. The lowest version of Yalis is priced at $7,200. It is very competitive compared to some Japanese small cars at the same time. The 10-day auto show brought more than 340 orders to the small car, and there are quite a few car dealers coming to negotiate cooperation with Lexus Motor Company. This subsequent procurement plan will not be missing.

The Camry 86 version also conforms to the aesthetics of Europeans. This car has a good resistance coefficient. In the test site of Lamborghini, Italy, it actually broke through the resistance coefficient of 0.3 and measured a high standard value of 0.29!

This value is not even possible for many European models that have always claimed to be small in resistance, and has won the attention of many consumers. As we all know, the European environmental assessment standard sets the highest, and the resistance coefficient of 0.29 will undoubtedly bring good fuel economy to the vehicle.

In addition, the car has strengthened the structural design and reasonably designed the front collapse area to achieve the ultimate goal of protecting the lives and safety of drivers and passengers. It passed the NAP car crash test of the European German Auto Club and received good reviews from Samsung.

NAP (Program new car evaluation program) first started in the United States. In 1978, UNAP proposed a 5-star evaluation method to evaluate the performance of car protecting occupants in frontal collisions. NAP is of great significance to promoting car manufacturers to improve the passive safety of vehicles. In the collision tests conducted in the late 1990s, almost no models could get more than 3 stars, and one or two stars were common. But ten years later, even micro cars had high scores of more than 5 stars.

Citroen's newly launched 508 this year has been widely praised, and as a mid-to-high-end global strategic model, it is also at the level of Samsung. Among all the nap institutions, the nap in Europe has the greatest influence, while the Germans have the most strict evaluation. If Samsung gets it here, it can pass their tests in other nap institutions such as the United States. Because the Europeans' automotive culture tradition has always been above the top, of course, most institutions in other regions also recognize the Europeans' evaluations.

This Camry has a handsome appearance and luxurious interior, and is also very rich in car configuration. It not only has a steering wheel airbag that is only available in luxury cars, but also an ABS anti-lock brake system. These have become the standard features of this Camry!

This safety performance has also attracted many visitors, because there are few mid-to-high-end cars now with such full configurations. Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan 140 has just been equipped with the ABS anti-lock system and driver airbags!

For this reason, a total of 325 Camry Deluxe Edition was ordered throughout the 10-day auto show, almost the same as the order for Yaris small cars!

This is already very valuable for new factories and new cars that have just debuted. Even though the sales of 10-day auto show did not reach 1,000 units at the end of the 10-day auto show, Lin Johnson also agreed to invest in Blüchert's auto sales store. They set up a new car company called Autohome Auto Sales Company.

Lin Johnson invested $3 million to occupy 82% of the company's shares, while Blüchert included his auto shop and his years of experience in selling cars, which was equivalent to 18% of the shares.

Although Blüchert resisted such a share allocation, it was futile. He also knew that he had no advantage compared to Johnson Lin, except that he was a real European.

However, Blüchert emphasized that in the future, once investors add additional investment, the company's shares must be recalculated based on the company's operating conditions at that time, and his share appreciation income must be included. Lin Johnson also accepted this. However, Lin Johnson added another one, that no shareholder of either party shall transfer the company's shares without the other party's knowledge, and if one party sells the shares, the other party has the right of first refusal to the shares!

For Lin Johnson, Blücher himself is a French and doing business in Germany. Such an identity makes him have no problem with the automobile markets between France and Germany. Conservative Europeans will not feel that it is difficult for a Chinese car chain to accept.
