This morning brushed the circle of friends, saw that everyone was brushing a screenshot of the screen. According to the official data of Gac Honda, in only two weeks of listing, the order volume of the model successfully exceeded 10,000 units. To be honest, this is indeed a good achievement worth celebrating, as the top domestic joint venture brand, Guangqi Honda, it is not surprising to come up with a model with an order volume of more than 10,000. Moreover, with the gradual emergence of young people as a mainstream consumer group today, it is indeed easier for everyone to pay for this accurately positioned model.
But thinking about it, I can't help but think of another model that I personally once favored, which is also an independent brand sports car produced by the GAC Department - GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard. Shadow Leopard, which also focuses on young sports, is a new car that went on sale in August this year. At that time, with its sporty appearance and extremely grounded price, it attracted the attention of many consumers.
What makes people a little puzzled is that in just a few months, Shadow Leopard has not achieved high sales results with its advantages, but has become the object of ridicule by many netizens. Today's shadow leopard really has a bit of the meaning of the Civic of the past. But the difference is that although The Civic was ridiculed by the group that year, the online and offline were very fragmented, and I don't need to say more about how good the sales of the tenth generation of the Civic were. And today's shadow leopard, as a Chinese brand of sports rookie models, can it withstand the "ridicule" of netizens? No one can say for sure. But based on some of my knowledge of Shadow Leopard, I want to be fair: jokes are jokes, is it really difficult to admit that Shadow Leopard is excellent?
Let's start to cover up little by little, first of all, why is the shadow leopard "ridiculed" by netizens?
In fact, the fault is not in the shadow leopard. I believe that many people know that the shadow leopard car is not through GAC Trumpchi, but through a well-known car critic. When the car reviewer evaluated the Shadow Leopard, in order to highlight its superior sportiness, the Shadow Leopard, which was priced less than 100,000 yuan, compared it to Mercedes-Benz's AMG high-performance products in some aspects. It is precisely because the two products have a large gap in price, positioning, and brand, so the statement immediately caused an uproar. Subsequently, the car reviewer publicly explained the remarks, but whether the facts were as described by the car reviewer, the error itself was not the shadow leopard. It's just an exaggerated propaganda tactic that makes the shadow leopard follow the gun.
Speaking of this, there may be friends who want to ask: if the car reviewer is recharged, then some of the views in the program are not dominated by manufacturers? This statement cannot be said to be unreasonable, so let's talk about the second point: is the shadow leopard car athletic enough? My personal opinion is: enough, first from the appearance of it, shadow leopard as a low price of Chinese brand models, the appearance of a good job, both a very high degree of originality, in the design can not pick out the hard wounds, sneakback body, everywhere sports decoration, bilateral a total of four out of the exhaust, all aspects are created well. Even the original factory also equipped you with an exhaust valve.
Finally, the 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 177 hp and a maximum torque of 270 Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and accelerates from 100 km/h to easily within 8 seconds. I think that if you don't feel that you are not active enough, it can only be said that you pick a bone in the egg. Compared with most sports models on the market, the performance of the Shadow Leopard is not only first-class, but also absolutely upstream. unbelief? You compare it to Ankselabi.
Conclusion: Having said all this, I actually don't want to give the Shadow Leopard platform. It's just that I think that it is not easy for Chinese brands to go on the road of car building, and now the Chinese brand sports car represented by Shadow Leopard has done a good job in all aspects. At a low price of less than 100,000, you can buy such a car, what else can you ask for? Of course, if you don't like it, of course, it's okay. However, it seems more difficult than anything to get some netizens to admit that Chinese brands have improved.
