The biggest failure of Nanwan Group at this auto show was that it did not bring the concept car of electric motorcycle to the show.
This was also the reason why Wan Feng planned to let Zhou Liming take the scapegoat after attending the auto show.
The circular booth on the right side of the Nanwan Auto Showroom displays automobile and motorcycle parts.
There are various motorcycle engines on display in Xiwan, the 478A engine on display by Hengren Power, and the 482 engine on display in Nanwan.
Nanwan’s inline six-cylinder Storm engine was not put on display. What was it for if it wasn’t going to be sold?
It’s not enough for myself.
Then there are some other parts, of which there are dozens of varieties.
The other consortia didn't have anything impressive to show for these things. Guangwan, Tiannan and Chengnan really didn't have anything impressive to show for them.
This is the current situation for car companies that cooperate with foreign joint ventures.
If you really ask them to come up with something of their own, they will have nothing to offer, and they are even worse than Xiwan.
Influenced by Wan Feng, Zhang Shiqian also spends over 100 million yuan on scientific research every year.
Zhang Shiqian's assets are now estimated to be in the billions. It is very courageous of him to spend over 100 million yuan on scientific research every year.
In terms of the components exhibited this time, Xiwan also has some of its own.
Wan Feng thought that Shanghai Volkswagen and General Motors were just supporting roles for him, but he didn't think so.
The people on the left and right sides of South Bay are preparing to divert the flow of people and do not plan to leave many people in South Bay.
Opposite the Nanwan booth is Toyota.
Toyota's plan to enter China was shelved because of Nanwan, so it is only natural for it to compete with Nanwan.
This time, Toyota’s main model is Camry, which also has another name called Camry.
It also brought many car models, most of which have just been launched or are about to be launched in North America.
In addition to the sedan version, travel version and two-door coupe version, it also brought the two-door coupe convertible version that was launched in 1999.
However, this car has a new name: Camry Solara instead of simply Camry Coupe.
There is also the TRD version of Camry, which was launched in the United States in 1999. Toyota engineers installed a supercharger for its V6 engine, increasing its maximum power to 250 horsepower.
These are not the main points. The most important thing is that Toyota brought a major weapon to the Shanghai Auto Show: the new generation of XV30 model, the latest Camry that will be put into production this year.
The biggest change in the XV30 generation of Camry is the body style. Previously, Camry had many forms such as sedan, station wagon, coupe, etc., but starting from the XV30, this series only retained the three-box sedan version.
In addition to the rounded appearance, the biggest change of this generation of Camry is the power. The long-used 5S-FE 2.2L four-cylinder engine has finally been eliminated and replaced by the 2AZ-FE 2.4L inline four-cylinder engine.
This engine with VVT-i intelligent variable timing system has a maximum power of 160 horsepower and a peak torque of 220 Nm.
As for the V6 engine classification, it still uses the 1MZ-FEV6 engine of the previous generation model, but the maximum power is slightly increased.
This car, which will be launched in North America in September this year, was brought to the Shanghai Auto Show by Toyota in advance, which shows Toyota's determination to make a name for itself in China.
Of course, I also want to use this opportunity to teach Nanwan Group a lesson.
Both sides of Toyota are international giants, and they are dissatisfied with Nanwan occupying the C position. Although Nanwan still has some influence in the Chinese automobile field, compared with these giants that are galloping in the international arena, Nanwan is nothing!
It can be considered as a joint effort to squeeze Nanwan.
They are preparing to give Nanwan a warning and let Nanwan know that they are the leaders in the international automotive world.
Wan Feng also noticed their little tricks after seeing the layout of the central exhibition area, but he didn't take it seriously. I'm just occupying the C position, what can you do?
If we only talk about the appearance of the car and whether it is good-looking, I am not pointing fingers at anyone, everyone here is rubbish.
Their appearance design level is at best on the same level as Qingfeng. They are not afraid of you when it comes to attracting attention!
Of course, just looking at the shell is just an embroidered pillow. Appearance is only one aspect. Without good configuration, it is all empty talk.
This is the first time that Nanwan has had a head-on confrontation with a foreign car company, so of course it has to prepare some backup plans.
Wan Feng also wanted to know how much influence Nanwan’s cars had in the country.
When the auto show opened, although Nanwan, surrounded by major European, American and Japanese manufacturers, occupied a central position and its booth was magnificently designed, there was not much traffic.
Shanghai Volkswagen has the highest popularity in China after years of operation. Even Shanghai General Motors, which has accumulated more popularity thanks to the sales of Buick, is more famous than Nanwan.
Although Toyota does not have a serious car company in China, it is still quite famous. It also brought five or six models to the auto show, and their booths were crowded with people.
On the other hand, although the South Bay area cannot be said to be sparsely populated, there are still many people stopping by, but it is indeed a bit deserted compared to others.
"Mr. Wan! Our popularity is not as good as theirs!" Yimeng whispered in Wan Feng's ear.
At this auto show, many people from Nanwan Microcar followed Wan Feng to see the auto show.
Of course, they came not to watch the fun but to see the technologies displayed by European and American car manufacturers.
"Don't be impatient! It's just the beginning, the best is yet to come." Wan Feng's face was calm.
When it comes to reputation, Nanwan really can't compare with others. They are all in the same system and have been playing for many years.
Volkswagen started making cars in 1886, and General Motors started making cars in 1908.
Toyota was considered a latecomer, having only started making cars in 1933.
When did Nanwan start making cars?
Not counting motorcycles, Nanwan has only been manufacturing cars for more than ten years. How can it possibly compete with others in terms of reputation!
So this situation is normal now.
There are not many people in Nanwan, and the population is relatively good. Some of these people are users of Nanwan Auto, and some are friends of these users.
The cars produced by Nanwan in recent years have a good reputation among users.
The problems that domestic cars are prone to break down rarely occur in various types of cars in Nanwan, which is a guarantee of quality.
Of course, there are also some government officials from other places who are preparing to purchase for the government.
After all, Great Wall is now an official car.
However, Nanwan did not use any words related to Great Wall and official cars in the advertisement, and Nanwan had no intention of increasing the price of the car by using its status as an official car.
The only problem is that the number of these people is still too small.
Many people who visited the auto show almost all passed through the sliding door in front of the South Bay exhibition area, and many people did not know where South Bay Auto was from.
The foreign companies and joint ventures surrounding the Nanwan Auto Showroom all frowned when they saw the deserted scene in front of the Nanwan showroom.
It’s useless to occupy a good position if you don’t have the ability.
The entire morning at the South Bay exhibition area was spent in this bland state, and there was not much change until the afternoon.
