Test Drive Saab 9-3 Sedan Sedan since 2009 Sedan
Three sources of popularity
Practical wagon, clockwork-convertible and prestigious sport sedan. With such a wide model program, GI-EM concern will always be secured by demand. 40:40:20
Opel carefully monitors customer preferences: bright, expressive tiger appeared not by chance, but ranked its, strictly defined place in the company's portfolio. In the near future, the range of models Opel will be 40% consisting of classic cars with a body of a sedan or a wagon. Another 40% will take the latest inventions of designers, unifying the advantages of large machines in a relatively small volume, for example, about Meriv. Finally, 20% are extraordinary, impractical models like a new tigers. Ratio 40:40:20 The company calls the formula of success.
Of course, I used to know that General Motors is the largest car concern in the world. And that he owns not one tet of marks. But one thing to know, the other to feel what is called, on its own skin. The program of the presentation of new models of Ji-Um surprised: at the airport there will be something named Chevrolet-Nyubile Staishn Wagony, in the morning the next day is offered to ride on the open Opel Tiger Twin Top, and then transfer to Diesel Saab 9-3 to return Same airport. A little more than three days are very different not even models, but brands. The standard phrase suggests: they are united
Neither the trait does not unite them! And perhaps, this is the strongest quality of an invincible concern: you grow up, change the image, rich, get the grandchildren, buying very, very different cars from each other. But ultimately all life remains true to one company. You don't even know about it just Jzhi Um is able to offer a car truly for every taste.
In a good way of consumer goods The newest universal is the fruit of the joint venture Ji-Em-Daewoo. As the brake of the concern, who spread the network around the world, he is a real cosmopolitan: the assembly leads in South Korea, one of the engines bring from Australia, the automatic box offers German ZF, the design was developed with a loaf of the Italians Pininfarina and Judjaro (they worked on previous models of DEU); Finally, America shared the brand. Actually, the latitude is just from those Chevrolet, which gives only a golden cross on the radiator, but not the character traits.
On the move, the wagon is completely soreden and this is not a drawback. What can you say about your ballpoint pen? About the camera-soapie? About paper clips? These items have only one simple feature. Also the Chevrolet-Nyubo is made for the sake of one task to deliver its owner and his family with camp from point A to point B, and is well made. Nothing other than saying, refined pleasure from riding or, God forbid, aesthetic pleasure looks from it is not required.
No, of course, I put several advantages in a notebook and minuses. For example, the car is noisy after 110120 km / h. I would like greater clarity in the clutch. Pleased a considerable road clearance. Liked the spacious back seat (the car leads in the class). But all this is just a background for the overall impression of a comfortable, practical wagon, from which you get exactly what you expect, and no gram.
Not in vain, it was tested for a long time on the roads of England, improving the design of a slightly tougher spring, a little thinner, the stabilizer is first sitting behind the wheel and after half an hour after the start it ceases to admire the management process, everything is familiar and understandable. And it would be quite boring if not two questions.
The first is his name? It seems that Ji-uh don't like the name Daewoo, which confirms, for example, the explicit expansion of the Chevrolet brand. Host Barin, let it be Chevrolet. The new wagon first wanted to call Latzetti, then bowed to Nubir because the sedan of the Nyubile, who was inherited from Daewoo, is well for sale. However, Hatchback Latzetti too. Total, there is a sewage, Latzetti and a latitude-staishn entry they are all based on the same J200 platform.
In order for you to finally confuse, it is mentioned that the car, which we speak now, goes into the Polish market under the name of Latzetti Stayshn Wagon. And in China, on the basis of Latzetti, the bike-excel is published. In general, there is a certain disordant to exist for DEU models, they are replaced by Chevrolet, the names are confused. It remains to hope that it will not affect sales and after-sales accompaniment as you meaning her nubire!
What is the price? For a car applying for the high rank of consumer goods (by God, without any irony), the question is key. The price becomes the very highlight, which, what is so sin, the car (or me?) Launch in the technique.
The cost of the basic version of the Chevrolet-Nision is quite attractive 15 thousand euros. For so much the car will be bought in Europe. For Russia, the price has not yet been determined sales will begin by the end of the year, then we will look at the price tag in rubles. The car will appear in the salons of Gi-Em dealers, and the company will soon make the following novelties three-door Kalos, Chevrolet Niva and a new Mathiz.
But this is a matter of the future, and here already gives the tiger with a motor, inviting you to play?
