Last week, I followed Panasonic's friends to Taipei. This is the third time I have been to this humane city. During the break in work, I couldn’t help but go out to eat beef noodles and go to the night market to buy nougat and pineapple pastry, and by the way, I took a look at the transportation in Taipei on the street. A Taiwanese friend told me before, "In fact, there are only two types of cars in our place: one is a motorcycle (motorcycle), and the other is a Toyota." Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it basically reflects the mainstream of local models. Anyway, let’s not talk about motorcycles for now, you will definitely find the “bullhead” mark of Toyota on the road in Taipei, and most of them are yellow taxis.
In Taipei, Toyota has a MPV that is made everywhere as a taxi. I went to check the sales data in Taiwan. This model has always been the champion of SUV/MPV (the Taiwan merged into SUV) between ordinary Volkswagen . In just the first two months of this year (including one Spring Festival), the model sold as many as 2,373 units in Taiwan. The car has a streamlined shape and moderate size. It is said that it was intended to be introduced to the domestic market, but it was later replaced by EZ ( Yizhi ) - the reason is said to be because EZ is a little shorter and more applicable in mainland China?
Because there are production factories like Tai Toyota in Taiwan (similar to our FAW Volkswagen and Shanghai Volkswagen), you can see a large number of Toyota cars on the streets of Taipei, just like there are a large number of Volkswagen cars on the streets of Shanghai. Perhaps, Toyota is the local "magic car" in Taiwan? After looking at the sales data, the new models that are sold include the 11th generation Corolla Altis, Yalis , Camry, etc. What is more exaggerated is that there is indeed a legendary promotional gift package in Taiwan that "buy new Corolla and get two-person round-trip air tickets". I wonder if it is possible that Toyota in China will also use this promotion method? In fact, in addition to Toyota, the streets of Taipei are mostly Japanese cars. For example, the Teana and Sunshine (called Sentra in Taiwan) of my family are both sold well, and the new Fit and old Civic from Toyota are often seen on the road. In addition, I also saw an advertisement from Mitsubishi called ClotPlus in Taipei, but I don’t think the real car looks very good. I also encountered several Suzuki Swift on the street. The cars are no longer new, but the owners drive faster than the other!
In addition to high-end brands, there are also some non-Japanese products on the streets of Taipei. For example, Ford seems to have many users in Taipei. You can encounter an Mondeo at a street intersection, an Carnival and a suspected new KUGA (I drove too fast and couldn't see clearly). Other brands like Volkswagen and Opel can also be seen, but the proportion is very small and most of them are commercial vehicles. However, in terms of high-end cars, in addition to Japanese brands such as Lexus , other luxury cars are basically Mercedes-Benz and BMW . Mercedes-Benz is a huge and slightly older model, while BMW can see young people's cars such as the 1 Series. There was a blue Aston Martin parked at the entrance of the of Taipei Jinghua Hotel, which attracted many passers-by at the intersection. I guess this car is a relatively precious model in Taipei, right? What's more funny is that I saw a Jeep Wrangler modified with a hard top on the street, and then let the beautiful girl step on it and dance pole dance in the street. Although the mountain roads in Jiufen area are long, most of the people use Japanese cars and the Jeep with strong off-road capabilities are only seen in this special case.
Overall, looking at the streets of Taipei, Japanese cars represented by Toyota are the absolute main force on the local roads. The first two companies in BBA are common, but there seems to be few Audi. A friend asked if there are many , NAZIJI on the streets of Taipei? In the past few days, only two Nazhijies have been seen, one U6 and one M7, and the market share is not high. I also asked the Taipei taxi driver I took. He said that the car of Yulon (Nazhijie is produced by Taiwan Yulon Group) looks good, but the fuel consumption is much larger than that of Japanese cars and has many minor problems, so people around him don’t choose this brand.However, he thinks it is a good thing for Taiwan to have a new independent brand. He may change to Yulong after the quality of the car improves. Well, the problems encountered by independent brands are the same no matter which side of the Strait. Please work harder for manufacturers.
In addition, I think I still have to mention the motorcycle party that is full of the streets of Taipei (actually all Taiwan). Frankly speaking, the motorcycles here may not necessarily follow the rules when driving. For example, I can also see motorcycles who occupy motor lanes when parking at the intersection or are obviously speeding through traffic. However, compared with our electric vehicle army, the Taiwan Locomotive Party is generally very law-abiding: at least it can stop at red lights and go on green lights, and no one will cross the road randomly; when parking, it is arranged neatly and neatly according to the side of the road. There are many friends around me who oppose the one-size-fits-all "motor ban" in the mainland, and they always use Taiwan as a positive example. The problem is that judging from the current disregard for laws and regulations and social morality of many cyclists around us, if motorcycles are allowed to be on the road on a large scale, the urban traffic order will definitely be in chaos, and traffic deaths in suburban counties will inevitably rise sharply... Therefore, it seems that we can only continue to "ban motorcycles" here - but please continue to work hard to improve public transportation at the same time. OK?
