米国的軽自動車考サターン座談会
サターンの本質 １０年以上前に米国自動車メーカーＧＭが、よく売れる日本車について考えた。その結果、カローラとシビックを解体して、その部品を細かい所まで真似てＧＭ流に味付けした。販売方式も反省して、「礼をつくす」方法である。
販売法 値引交渉なし。車の説明だけ。日本ではまったく受け入れられなかった。
値段 サターンはセキュリテｲシステム、クルーズドコントロール、革張り付きでも２００万を切る値段。安い。でもワンプライスで値引きなし。これ以上値引きできない値段なので、値引き交渉不要。面倒なし。でもニューカローラには心揺れる。でも１５００ｃｃのワンプライスで１５０万前後は高い！オプション揃えればあと５０万高くなりそう。でもこんどのはコンサバっぽくない！
安全 サターンはトラクションコントロール、ＡＢＳ、エアバック、セキュリテｲシステムなどの安全装備は初めから当たり前のように付いている。骨格は東京タワーのように溶接してある。頑丈だ。サニーがそれを真似たができず、あきらめてプラットホームにしたそうだ。でもこんどのブルーバードシルフィのルーフはアーチ型でサターンそっくり！サターンはぶつかったら前後がフニャと潰れる。それからエンジンが下に落ちる。エアバックも膨張しすぎないようにしてある。それにガソリンが漏れないように作られてある。
安全神話？修理費 本国じゃ前後をトラックに挟まれてもドライバーがドア開けて歩いて出てきたそうだ。日本でも高速走行中１３０キロで壁に衝突して本人もうだめだと思ったそうだが、足だけ挟まれてトラックに車ごと積まれて帰って来て、すぐ歩けるようになったらしい。そんな車はふつう廃車だけどサターンは外枠を引っ付けて修理費１７０万円でまだブンブン走ってる。プラモデルみたい？そうだプラモデルっぽい！プラモデルだと部品取り寄せるの時間かかるけど、サターンなら車半壊しても１〜２週間でもとにもどる。その間の代車もある！それに修理費が日本車より安い。最近あいつらも気がついてあわてて部品の値上げしたそうだ。交差点なんかで横から衝突されてるのよく見る。サターンは米国側面衝突基準パスしてる。外人のケツでかいけど横からあたって腰くだけないのか？ドアに鉄骨の格子が引っ付けてあるそうだ。信号の鉄柱にぶつかって、へし折ったって言う話もあった。クラッシュゾーンがそんなに強くていいのか？だってサターンに当てられた車はみんなレッカー車で帰るらしい。サターンは少し傷ついて自力で帰れたと体験者は言ってる。
走り あるプロドライバーがスピードだしてスピンさせて、何か言ったそうだ。なんて言ったんだ？一般に車はスピンすると楕円形を描きながら回転するんで、壁に激突する。サターンのスピンはほぼ円型に回転した！前後バランスがいいんだ。それでそのプロドライバーがサターンの値段を聞いた。おれはこの足まわりは３００万以上すると思うって言った。ゼロヨンは１０秒代！評論家が１０年前の日本のスポーツカーなみっていってた。信号でキャバリエとよーいどんしたら負けるみたい。いやいやカーブが多いとまけんだろう。高速乗ったらさいこうだこの車。静かで安定しててゆったりはしれる。１２０〜１３０キロが調度よくて、１８０キロくらいは出るってどこかのＨＰで言ってた。燃費のよさは高速ひたすら１００キロだとリッター１５キロくらいにはなるってだれかいってた。乗る人によって燃費や走りが変わるらしい。さたんちゃんの頭脳が考える。
パッケージ でもクーペはワゴンより幅があるからか、中が広々していていい。ブラックベリーで黒の革張りのサターンは惚れ惚れする。サターン座席はぺたんと下に座る。１０年前に日本のスポーツカーの骨格を真似たんじゃないのか？後部座席がもう少し座りごこちよかったら言うことない。全長を１０センチ長くして同じＧＭのサーブの骨格を真似たら完璧だ。ついでに後ろの荷室も真似たらいい。３００万越えちゃう！骨格だけ真似ればいいんだ。フロントヘビイになったりして。
フォードフォーカス あれはヨーロッパ車だ。サターンは純粋米国車！２５０万台売れてんだ。でも衝突安全で追いつかれてる。側面衝突がんばらなくっちゃ。
その他 クーラーがすごくよく効く。排気口２℃。日本車は６℃だ。音もいい。音楽きくのが楽しみになる。夜中オペラなんか流しながら運転するのって最高！本国じゃ１６万キロ以上走ってる車たくさんある。１６万キロメンテフリーだ。へんな顔してる。犬みたい。こまったちゃん？ウルトラマンテｲガ？でもヤナセがサターンを本格的に売るとすると、ＧＭに注文つけて内装をゴージャスにして、３５０万くらいで売るんじゃないかってだれかいっていた。それのが売れるんじゃないのか？日本人は外車は高い車しか買わない。サターンワゴンの布カバーは色々いわれてる。アコーデオントノカバーは今時軽でもついてるって。いやあれは荷物が多い時上に被せるだけだから、いっぱいつめる。トノカバーだとつめん。結局中が見えなきゃいい。洗濯もできるし。ワゴンは後ろのバンパーの張り出しがおおきい。あれは安全性のためらしい。荷物をいっぱいつんだ時の高速走行時のバランスと、おかまほられた時のショックアブゾーバーだ。子供とならんでそこに座って写真とれる。ああそれからドアロック自動開閉できない？アメリカじゃ斜め後ろに待ち伏せていて、強盗がはいる。日本人文化キーレスで開けりゃなんでもできる。セキュリテｲだって。まあ買って乗ってみな！外観とかうわさとまったく違う乗り心地。
U.S.smoll car Saturn round-table talk.
Saturn's essence. U.S. automaker GM considered the Japanese car which sell well ten years or more ago. Consequently, KORORA and Civic were disassembled, and it imitated to the fine place, and the part was built in the style of GM, and was changed. It is the method of reflecting also on a selling system and "rendering a greeting." The selling method. With no discount negotiation. Only explanation of a car. In Japan, it was not accepted at all.
Price. Saturn is a price which cuts 2 million yen also a security system, a cruised contorol system, and with leather covering. It is cheap. However, with no discount. Since it is the price which cannot cut a price any more, it is discount negotiation needlessness. With no trouble. However, in a new corrora, it is wanted. however, a price without discount of 1500 cc vehicle is high price. it is likely to become high But it is not common this time!
Safety. Saturn is attached so that naturally [ safe equipment of TRC, ABS, the air back, a security system, etc. ] from the start. The frame is welded like Tokyo Tower. It is strong. It is said that it cannot do although sunny was imitated, but it gives up, and was made the platform. but the roof of this Blue Bird SHIRUFI -- an arch type -- Saturn -- it is similar If Saturn collides with, order will collapse. And engine falls downward. It is made for the air back to have not expanded too much, either. It is made so that gasoline may not leak to it.
Safe myth ? repair expense. That is right it collided with the wall by 130km during the high-speed run, he also got, and I thought also in Japan that it was useless -- so, but, only a leg is pinched, a track is loaded the whole car, and he comes back, and can walk now immediately although such a car is usually a disused car, Saturn needs to adhere an outer frame repair .Thatexpense is 1,700,000 yen . If it is a plastic model, although it will take the time of part , if it is Saturn, even if it carries out car partial destruction, it returns to a basis in one - two weeks. There is also a car for temporary use in the meantime! Repair expense is cheaper than a Japanese car to it. recently that fellow noticing being confused parts having raised the price. It sees with what [ sufficient ] it collides with from width at the crossing something. Saturn is doing the U.S. side collision standard path. although it goes by foreign hipp, does it hit from width and there is nothing a breakdown -- the lattice of a steel frame should adhere to a door that is right There was also a talk which collides with An iron pillar of a signal, and is broken off and told to it. Seemingly, all of the thing whose crash zone may be so strong, or the car applied by Saturn also in ? will return by wrecker. The experience person has said that a little Saturn got damaged and was able to return by himself.
Run. a certain pro driver is speed -- it is said that it carried out, and a spin is carried out and some were said it said very -- generally, it rotates drawing an ellipse form, if a spin is carried out, and a car crashes into a wall Saturn's spin rotated to the circle type mostly! Order balance is good. Then, the pro driver heard Saturn's price. break -- if the axle part of is carried out 3 million or more 0-100m is 8-second generation! It,s sports car [ Japan of ten years ago ] . I try to want to lose, when carrying out simultaneous start with Cavalier by signal. Reluctantly, if there are many curves, it will not lose. If it rides at high speed, this car will run well. It is quiet, it is stable and can run calmly. The furniture of 120-130km was good, and about 180km was said by HP of somewhere which comes out. the merit of mpg is high-speed -- if it is 100km intently -- about 15km of liters. it had said in whom Seemingly, mpg and a run will change by those who ride. The brains of a car think.
Package. However, inside may be [ the coupe ] extensive in since there is width from a wagon. Black leather-covered Saturn is charmed with a black berry. The Saturn seat sits down downward. It will not say ? backseat sits down whether the frame of a Japanese sports car was imitated to a slight degree ten years ago and is good for it. It is perfect, if 10cm of full length is lengthened and the frame of a serve of the same GM is imitated. What is necessary is just to also imitate a back load room in passing. It exceeds 3 million ! What is necessary is to imitate only a frame. It becomes front weight.
Ford focus. That is the Europe vehicle. Saturn is a pure U.S. vehicle! which does not sell 2,500,000 sets. But it catches up by collision safety. Side collision cancer rose
Others. An air conditioner is well effective very. 2 degrees C of exhaust ports. A Japanese vehicle is 6 degrees C. Sound is also good. Hearing music becomes pleasure. operating is comfortable, passing in opera etc. midnight it is running 160,000km or more of its native country. it is car many It is a 160,000 kilo mentenance free-lancer. it does not pass -- the face is carried out dog. however supposing Yanase sells Saturn completely GM an order the price ,room is made gorgeous and it makes a selling point of about 3,500,000 yen. it cut and someone were said it does not sell ? Japanese, only a high car buys an imported car Various cloth covers of a Saturn wagon are said. Accordion cover is which shines just also with a small-size car nowadays. No, therefore, that is packed a lot as it covers upwards, when there are many loads. It cannot stack, if it is cover. It is good if inside cannot be seen after all. wash is also possible . An overhang of a back bumper sets, and is and a wagon is 。. That is for safety. They are the balance at the time of the high-speed run when loading a load a lot, and shocking absorb at the time of a rear rear-end collision. It sits down there together with a child, and they are a photograph . And the door lock is waited for and turned down on slanting back in ? United States which cannot carry out automatic opening and closing, and a burglar enters. If it opens by Japanese culture key less, it can do anything. Also security. He buys it well, and it rides and is everybody! It is a degree of comfort completely different from appearance or rumor.
