Once the eyes closed, a glimpse of how these car brands sold and disappeared?

I wonder if everyone has noticed this news, Holden Automobile shut down its production line in Australia.

Take the liberty to say that the brands that were acquired by General Motors usually do not end well. GM will suck out the nutrients, such as the vehicle platform, and then it will be put into the common melting pot. As a matter of fact, it becomes more and more uncharacteristic, and it becomes a rebranding vehicle for other general brands. The most typical is Vauxhall, once a British brand, after being acquired by General Motors, the model is actually the British version of Opel. British consumers' feelings for Vauxhall will be greater than those of Opel, making it easier for Vauxhall's logo to enter the United Kingdom.

Even if they are not homogenized, these brands will gradually become marginalized due to lack of financial support. Fans are the most obnoxious of Saab who was once called the land vehicle. Then there is South Korea's Daewoo. In the warm boiled frog, the brand disappears. Even in the Korean market, Daewoo's original positioning model was replaced by Chevrolet.

Horton is actually relatively lucky. Australia is relatively geographically "high mountain emperor", GM has been letting its development, and even a performance model similar to AMG, called HSV. Chinese buyers actually “touched” Holden, and Buick’s boulevard, the Hurden’s Statesman (politician)’s model-changing model, was in effect. Horton is deeply rooted in the people's minds in Australia. Ashan recently traveled to Australia and said that there were Hortons on the streets. He did so as usual and rented Horton for use.

The characteristics of the Horton model are more like traditional American cars, and they like large displacement and pickup trucks. In particular, there is a pickup named Ute, which mixes the coupe and the pickup. The brain hole is quite large. On the other hand, Horton only said that the Australian factory had stopped production and did not say that the brand had disappeared. Many people on the Internet had misunderstood this. On Holden’s official website, you can see that many common models will be labeled with Holden in the future, such as Regal and the explorer.

It is estimated that Horton will become another Vauxhall in the future, and only the brand is not intrinsic, and it will become the Australian version of the Buick and Chevrolet models. The reason for shutting down Horton’s Australian factory this time is that Australia’s input-output ratio is too low. Australia’s population is too small and the market is so small. It’s better to choose to import it from the outside.

Speaking of Horton, there are still some foreign brands, and Chinese consumers are still unfamiliar. This year, in the parallel import shop at the entrance of the Chengdu auto show, we saw Russian Rada Niva.

That's right, that is, in the face of Putin's great emperor, it can also turn off the brand.

Niva was a model that was forty years ago, and it touched the current NCAP test to ensure that it was completely crushed. After all, there was no thinking of absorbing energy collapse. The inside of the car was rough to the extreme, and the spare tire was placed directly in the engine compartment. The rubber was not dissolved. The only advantage of Lada Niva is that it has a differential lock that can handle true off-road needs. After calculating the tariff, Rada Niva sold more than 120,000. The attraction lies in its ability to start with a low-impact niche, which can also satisfy the Soviet feelings of some people. The colleague Zhi Xuan had friends and bought the Vela Nira to pull a speedboat.

Only to buy this car really want to think twice before, here is China, but not Russia, Rada's penetration rate in Russia, a bit like we were Jeddah Poussin. Although Jetta Poussin was not particularly reliable at that time, the victory was prevalent and there was no need for accessories.

In the country, if Lada is broken, it would be a matter of saying that the sky should not be called out. After repairing the 90-year-old worker in the shop, looking at the navy of the Rada Niva will definitely be stunned. The things inside are so old and ancient. Never seen it. Lada also has some slightly more modern models in Russia, such as Granta (putin Putin off ...), just look at modeling, like those with Geely early knocking products.

Another small car introduced by parallel importers is Dacia. Look at Topgear's friends and be no stranger to this brand. Tortoise Captain James May often loved Duchess Duster and was taken by two other basemates.

Dacia was originally a Romanian car brand and was later acquired by Renault. Dacia sells quite well in places like Russia, India, and Colombia. The reason is that it is cheap. It had done something similar to Geely in the car that year. It was acting as a price killer. The Logan sedan sold for only 5,000 euros, or about 38,000 yuan. It must be known that the powerful Chinese manufacturing industry has not yet penetrated the automotive industry. Duster's SUV model Duster was introduced by parallel importers, but it sold a version of Renault.

There is also a brand similar to the Dacia pronunciation, called Lancia. In contrast with Dacia, Lancia is a high-end positioning Italian brand, and it was acquired by Fiat in 1969. Lancia has always had a distinctive personality. In the early days there were many classic rally sports cars such as Stratos and Delta Integrale HF.

I remember when I was playing GT Racing 5, it was different from the two old cars that were grotesque, but the overall performance was surprising. Later, Lancia Thesis was often active in the official car market. Although Thesis is a official car, the line is still very artistic, unlike the seriousness of the Audi A6. In fact, the modern image of Lancia is very vague. The products are mainly hatchback carts with a very artistic appearance. Landing Lancia website, you can only see the official website of a model called Ypsilon, this brand is estimated to have died soon.
