As for why this is the case, of course there are reasons, such as tax rates.
There is no automobile industry in Xiangjiang. In a city with millions of people, cars are imported from abroad. Without a local automobile industry, there is no protection. Therefore, import taxes are extremely low, resulting in generally low selling prices.
The car dealership sells many cars, made in various countries, such as the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, etc. Xiangjiang is a British colony, and many people have a soft spot for British cars, such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, Jiebao, and Al
Stan Martin or something like that.
The British have a natural talent for building cars. Whether it is in the field of luxury or competition in performance, there are always British car brands among the leaders in the field.
However, British car brands are not good at marketing. They are good at "making cars", but they are not good at "selling cars".
Marketing is not good, so even though the rich in Hong Kong love it to death and take the lead in buying cars, the middle class does not buy it. They support it emotionally, but are very honest in action and body, and rarely buy British cars.
Lin Xiaoguang doesn't like the British very much, hates the whole family, and doesn't like British cars either.
There are also Japanese cars. Although Toyota and Honda make good cars and are very popular among Asians, he doesn't like them either.
Excluding the Japanese and British systems, the remaining ones are the American, German and French systems.
American cars have many advantages, such as high displacement, good power performance, large body, excellent interior space, rough and wild appearance, and very good safety performance.
But there are also disadvantages, such as high fuel consumption and low value retention rate.
As for French cars, the cockpit has better permeability, the driving vision is better, the interior design is very different from other cars, and French cars particularly like to use torsion beam suspension for the rear suspension, but French engineers will
The torsion beam suspension is tuned to be particularly comfortable.
In later generations, whether in forums or in the headlines of various car portals, there is a saying that "everyone who knows cars buys French cars."
Lin Xiaoguang really wants to buy a French car.
However, the German car Audi impressed him so much. As a classic and commonly used car for Chinese officials, many leaders at the provincial and municipal levels use this car. Audi has almost become a government-specific official vehicle and once symbolized power.
As a common man, he is still very vain.
What's more, the current Audi Quattro is really too classic, and he doesn't know how much he desires it.
"Sir, this Audi 80 Coupé sports coupe equipped with Quattro system is the first car in the world to truly apply a four-wheel drive system to a mass-produced performance car. It made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March last year.
It has won the trust of the industry with its revolutionary drive system concept and excellent dynamic characteristics, and is famous for its technical efficiency, accuracy and reliability."
At this moment, the saleswoman from the car dealership was still chattering about the introduction.
"The car is equipped with the Audi Quattro full-time four-wheel drive system, has a solid and dynamic suspension system, and a functional interior design style. It can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.1 seconds and has a top speed of over 220 kilometers per hour."
"It has excellent performance. Although the price is slightly higher, is it still available for a successful person like you?"
"Having such a car can be worthy of your youth and wealth, don't you think?" The beautiful saleswoman stared straight at Lin Xiaoguang with a pair of peach blossom eyes, her expression and eyes were extremely charming, if she didn't worry about the people around her,
With Jiang Shanshan, everyone will stick to her.
Lin Xiaoguang was very excited. He had limited knowledge about cars, but he also knew that the Audi Quattro80 Coupé was awesome and the Quattro four-wheel drive system was very powerful.
As a racing car, quattro's perfect performance and cornering control have been fully demonstrated on the racing track, winning countless victories for Audi and still making it impossible for competitors to surpass it.
In 1981, Audi fully participated in the WRC throughout the year. French female driver Michelle Morton drove a Quattro car and won the Sanremo Rally. She became the first female driver to win the WRC championship and became a member of the world rally history.
The first female driver to win the championship.
In 1982, Audi sent three Quattro racing cars to compete and won the annual championship.
From 1984 to 1987, Audi participated in the famous American Pikes Peak mountaineering competition and won the championship for three consecutive years.
In 1987, the legendary rally driver Walter Röhrl used his skillful skills to drive an Audi Sport quattro S1 and set an astonishing time of 10 minutes, 47 seconds and 85 seconds. He set a race record that no one can break to this day and became the master of perfect control of this mountain road.
Racing myth.
The brilliant record of winning the WRC for two consecutive years, coupled with the legendary performance in the Pikes Peak Mountain Race, had to ask the International Automobile Federation (FIA) to change the rules of the event and officially canceled the WRC Groupe B competition in 1987.
In 1996, Audi won the touring car championships in six countries. Because the Audi racing cars equipped with quattro were too powerful, the event organizers first asked the Audi racing cars to increase the weight. Later, the FIA had to announce that it would stop using quattro technology in rally races.
After the new century, the legend of Audi and quattro continues...
Men's interests are extremely limited. Apart from beautiful women, they are cars. Lin Xiaoguang is no exception. He was lucky enough to meet the first-generation Audi Quattro. How could he miss it?
However, the selling price is high, $200,000.
Converted to Hong Kong dollars, 1 million.
After selling the entire Qinhuai company, he could only buy these three cars. Lin Xiaoguang didn't know how helpless he was. He was like a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a fairy, taking off her clothes and lying on the bed and waving to him, or like a sweaty BMW.
The reins are in his hands, and he can gallop immediately. However, he doesn't have enough money, so he can't ride yet.
Not to mention how depressed I am.
"Forget it, I'll buy it next time." Lin Xiaoguang reluctantly refused.
He secretly made up his mind to start with this Audi Quattro in 1981. From today on, he set a small goal to buy this car before New Year's Day next year.
"Sir, this Audi Quattro is currently sold in limited quantities. Last year, 2,000 units were released globally, and there were less than 20 units in Hong Kong. Do you really not think about it anymore?" The beautiful saleswoman is still trying to persuade her to stay.
"No, just this ordinary Audi."
The beautiful saleswoman was immediately frustrated. The big order of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars was gone, leaving only a small order of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars. Fortunately, the deal was completed. Although it was a small order, it was better than no deal at all.
Jiang Shanshan went to pay, while Lin Xiaoguang looked back and forth at the Audi Quattro.
After the car pick-up procedures were completed, the pretty saleswoman asked again: "Will the car drive away now? If you have a driver's license, issue a temporary license plate and you can drive away now."
Lin Xiaoguang nodded, looked at Jiang Shanshan on the side, and invited with a smile: "Miss Jiang, will you get in the car?"
Jiang Shanshan smiled sweetly, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
A beautiful saleswoman met the two of them. The man was handsome and rich, and the woman was pretty and elegant. I thought she looked good, and her salary was only a little over a thousand and a half, so I couldn't be more envious of her.
Lin Xiaoguang drove the car to the company, sent Jiang Shanshan back safely, and then immediately went to Kowloon Station to pick her up.
At eleven o'clock, half an hour late, Kankan arrived.
