Great Wall Public Love FCA

US "car news" broke the Chinese car enterprises want to buy Fiat Chrysler Motor Company (FCA). The news in the global automotive industry aroused a lot of waves, the relevant car prices to deny the industry is caused by the curiosity. After a full week, finally, the Great Wall made it clear that it has the meaning of the acquisition.
In an e-mail to the US "Auto News", Wang Fengying, president of Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd., made it clear that the Great Wall had plans to acquire Jeep and had begun to contact FCA, hoping to open the acquisition negotiations. Great Wall spokesman Xu Hui then added that the Great Wall has indirectly expressed interest in Jeep, but has not yet issued a formal offer, nor with the FCA board meeting. However, FCA issued a statement regarding the news that it did not contact the Great Wall Motor for the sale of Jeep brand or other related matters, the company is currently busy with the implementation of five years (2014-2018) business plan.
Want to buy Jeep, is not Coilover Shocks surprised
US "Auto News" said the plan for the acquisition of Jeep Great Wall Auto is not surprising. The media said, Jeep FCA may be the only one to attract the acquisition of the brand, and its charm has long been confirmed. As early as 1987, Chrysler took a fancy to the Jeep brand and acquired it from the American car company (AMC); in the past decade, GM had at least three attempts to establish a partnership with Jeep.
The media cited the industry's analysis, said Jeep is undoubtedly the most valuable brand of FCA. In theory, the price of the Jeep brand may be higher than the price of the entire FCA. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas on the brand's market value is to quantify the value of the brand and the status of FCA. Jonas said the Jeep brand itself, its share price is about 17.2 US dollars per share, including Jeep, including FCA stock price of about 16.4 US dollars per share. According to the above prices, Jeep brand price of about 33.5 billion US dollars (about 225.5 billion yuan), while the FCA price slightly lower, to 32 billion US dollars (about 21.34 billion yuan).
However, it is also Jeep brand so high market value for the Great Wall car has brought no small obstacles. In 2016, the Great Wall Motor's operating income equivalent to the US dollar was only 14.76 billion, while the FCA is as high as $ 131 billion. For the financial problems, the Great Wall is confident to raise funds to achieve the acquisition. "The Great Wall has a good track record and we have been listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai, not only to use the accumulated profits, but also to take advantage of our channels in the basic market to facilitate the acquisition."
Great Wall to be the world's largest SUV manufacturer
In 2016, the Great Wall Motor total sales of 1,074,471, of which SUV was 938,018. However, according to the original plan of the Great Wall Motor, do not consider cooperation with Hebei Yujie, by 2020, the Great Wall plans to break the annual sales of 2 million, becoming the world's largest professional SUV brand. "Our strategic goal is to become the coilovers world's largest SUV manufacturer," he said in an interview.
However, if calculated in accordance with this goal, the Great Wall car sales compound annual growth rate of at least 20%. If you can with the current world's largest SUV brand cooperation, the Great Wall of the macro will be able to easily achieve. Xu Hui also pointed out that "and just rely on their own brand compared to the acquisition of Jeep this global SUV brand, we will be faster and better to achieve the goal.
According to the US "Auto News" data, thanks to the growing product line and in Latin America, Asia and Europe have production base, Jeep brand in 2016 global sales of 1.41 million vehicles. Among them, about one-third of the sales from Brazil, India and China and other markets outside of North America, hoping to 2018 to reach 2 million global sales. The two sides set the company's goal is 2 million, once the Great Wall successfully acquired Jeep, annual sales can not only achieve the established goals, maybe also doubled times
However, optimistic about the SUV market is not only Wei Jianjun, there are FCA CEO Marjorie. Last month, in a conference call with analysts, Marjorie said that given the current market demand, the global SUV market is likely to reach annual sales of 33 million to 35 million units. "If there is a brand that can occupy one-fifth of the global market share, it must be Jeep." According to Marcheon's statement, once it has achieved that goal, its global annual sales of about In about 7 million. So, by contrast, the Great Wall Motor's 2 million is a small target. So, Jeep will be sold to the Great Wall, can only wait and see.
Acquisition or provision of international fulcrum
In the previous "Auto News" given the list of potential buyers, the Great Wall of the internationalization of the car seems to be weaker. Dongfeng Motor has successfully stake PSA, Geely's Volvo and Baoteng has more than overseas brands, and Guangzhou Automobile is Jeep brand domestic cooperation car prices, so the internationalization of the Great Wall seems the most urgent problem.
At present, Great Wall Motor has a research and development center in Los Angeles. In addition, the Great Wall expressed concern about establishing a factory in Mexico because of concerns that US President Trump may develop more stringent trade Air Suspension policies. Great Wall hopes in the United States will eventually be able to sell Harvard SUV, and pointed out that the production of vehicles in the United States can avoid trade risks. Xuhui said the Great Wall hopes to use this year in Detroit set up R & D center, a lot of understanding of the US market, and Jeep in North America mature distribution network and market experience, will also be able to provide a fulcrum for the internationalization of the Great Wall.
In foreign media to provide four Chinese car prices, Dongfeng, Geely and Guangzhou Automobile have come out after the news have denied the intention to acquire FCA. As the first Chinese car to love FCA, although the FCA to contact the "cold" treatment, but the Great Wall is able to get Jun heart, there are still many variables. With regard to the latest developments in the incident and the views of all parties, Geshi will continue to pay attention.

17 million Buick New Regal too understand

Since 2002, the domestic sales of Buick Regal off the assembly line, Regal as Buick's number one "star character" has been bright stars, in the B-class car market has a underestimated position, but with the rapid rise and growth of independent brands, and then With the SUV on the medium-sized car market competition, in recent years the overall sales are not ideal, SUV in the field of medium-sized car is already sit tight sales list and Regal in the B-class market attack power has weakened as a Turbocharger large consortium of SAIC reaction Quickly, in April in Shanghai Auto Show debut, the new generation of Regal July 21 officially listed, the price range of 17.58-26.98 million.
After the listing of Regal, in order to revive the "star" halo, manufacturers arranged a variety of different road conditions in different places test drive activities, there are cities, mountains, plains, but also with a variety of road conditions to interpret the integrity of the new Regal Times Bing brother also invited and the "star" together to Hulunbeier feel the prairie, feeling the wind blowing grass see cattle and sheep, find out what.
From the data table, Buick in the new Regal body with a lot of cutting-edge new technology, but also by the global design and vehicle development engineering team leader, in the body structure, electrical architecture, drive system, etc. to do the iterative upgrade, Than the previous generation weight loss of about 160 kg, which represents the driving quality, fuel consumption performance than the previous generation has coilovers for sale changed.
I remember when the first time to see the real car, in the Shanghai auto show debut, compared to the previous generation, indeed become more moving young, the same from the family before the face design Although there are "big brother" Laoyime shadow, but the front of the network And LED daytime running light wing element or let it have a good identification, not like the public family of the family so that you silly can not tell.
Buick is very smart, it will nowadays the hottest choice of the three most power to Junwei equipment, respectively, 1.5T, 2.0T turbocharged engine and 1.8L hybrid, the whole match 9AT manual gearbox , The future of the 9AT will be the most common most suitable "engine companion" is now running over, the market test period is ongoing. (Bing brother measured in manual mode, 95km speed has been able to hang into the 9 block driving)
And the sound of this aspect of the performance is so I was very pleasant part of the front row of the use of double glass effect is remarkable, Bing brother try to open the road section to 170km per hour, can still chat in the car with the normal tone, Do not deliberately improve, and this sound insulation is the whole system are the same, not because the displacement or price reduction with the material, but one thing I do not like, that is, after the throttle step, the front cabin engine noise will be obvious Passed to the cabin, will make some of the overall texture price.
If you want the luxury interior, it must not be a common good show, practical simplicity is the general style of the wind, the movement of three-style steering wheel, surrounded by control, Turbo for sale HUD head show, high with models of seat leather + suede fabric wrapped, The car is also equipped with a surround-style atmosphere, dual-temperature independent air-conditioning, 8-inch LCD screen, Bose sound, etc., practical configuration with it, can be described as sincere, in the actual ride I tried The comfort of the row, the flexibility in the parcel and the seat is obviously better than its rival MAGOTAN.
The soldiers test the market is the amount of 1.5T, is also the consumer is most concerned about a set of powertrain, and this set of 1.5T after the continued strength, really unexpected, speed from 80km-160km you Still can feel the engine there is power for you to play, so do not worry about enough power, but in the throttle before the small turbo due to power is not obvious, if you want to step up the high speed to squeeze power, the engine Pass into the car thunder of the "shouting", so you do not have the desire to drive, yes, the small displacement of the front section of the turbo is still in the body is still reflected in the body, and low speed gearbox will have a trace of frustration , The downshift response is also to think about it, will not give you a direct response, so you have to be overtaking before, it is best to first touch the turbine delay time difference, it is best to be the way it is progressive to the oil, it will Give you the best feedback.
The use of a new caravan, automatic according to the speed than the variable damping sense of the steering wheel, dynamic appearance, leapfrog level of sound insulation, which is my day off the feelings of this car summary, the new Regal as a global model, Know how to make it to please most consumers, after all, there is a group of SAIC on how to understand the Chinese users want a strong intelligent group, or Wuling Hongguang and Po Chun will not get such a great success.
Buick brand as one of the most successful models, Buick LaCrosse and Regal cars both complete the new generation, Regal's facelift can not make the medium-sized car market structure shock, this is really can not guess, but no way to deny their own brand digging Must be in the slow erosion of the joint venture brand market share, after all, in the range of 15-20 million, you can choose too many models, but if you need a biased young sports, there are control of the space , There are technical background of the mid-size car, that a new generation of Regal will undoubtedly be the first choice.
