E hoʻāʻo i ka haku mele Farani hope loa ʻo Citroen XM V6
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia Citroen ma mua o nā Mercedes a me BMW. ʻAneʻane ʻo ia i luku i nā mea hoʻokūkū, akā i ka hopena ua lilo i ka wiwo ʻole i kāna iho ponoʻī.
He kipi ia! Ua hala he 1976 a ʻoi mau makahiki ma hope o ka lilo ʻana o ka banekorupa ʻo Citroen ma lalo o ka mana o nā mea noʻonoʻo mai Peugeot i ka makahiki XNUMX. Ma mua o ʻumi mau makahiki o ka hoʻokalakupua ʻana i ka hana, non-conformism a me ke olakino olakino (kekahi manawa ʻaʻole) kaʻa. ʻO ka Citro nui hou aʻe ʻaʻole i hānau ʻia: hānau ʻia ka DS akua a me ka avant-garde CX me ka ʻole o kahi hoʻoilina. Akā ua hūnā malū nā ʻenekini i ka hoʻomohala ʻana mai ka hoʻokele, a ke hōʻike ʻia nā mea āpau, ua lohi loa e kū.
ʻO kēia ka hānau ʻana o XM. Ua huki ka poʻe ʻItalia mai ke keʻena ʻo Bertone i kahi kino hiʻohiʻona i ke kaila o kahi ākea ākea - a hiki i kekahi ke ʻōlelo aʻe ʻaʻole i pili kēia manaʻo i ka makahiki 1989, no ka mea, ua hōʻea mai ka piko o ke ʻano cosmo i nā makahiki kanahiku. Akā he aha ka ʻokoʻa ke nānā ka liftback i ultra-futuristic e kūʻē i ka moʻo o nā wā ʻōiwi puʻupuʻu? A he, he hāpai hoʻi wale ia: ua ʻike ka poʻe kamaʻāina o Citroen i ka mōʻaukala i nā sedan, a ʻaʻohe "ʻae ʻia" a "no laila he mea pono" ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohuli iā lākou.
ʻOiai ma ke ʻano he sedan nō ia: hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka pahu mai nā keʻena o nā mea kaʻa e kahi mea hou, ʻumikūmākolu (!) He aniani kī, i hoʻolālā ʻia e pale aku i nā mea kaʻa mai, e ʻōlelo, ke ea anuanu mai ke alanui. Eia kekahi, ua huakaʻi ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma ke Citroen XM - me nā pelekikena Pelekane ʻo François Mitterrand lāua ʻo Jacques Chirac. No laila, piha ka loko i piha.
ʻO nā noho hope i hoʻoneʻe ʻia, nā hoʻokele uila no nā mea āpau a me nā mea āpau, e like me nā aniani, ka hoʻomalu ʻānō akau - i kēia manawa ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha, akā i ka makahiki 1989 ua lako ʻo Citroen i kāna kumu hoʻohālikelike me nā mea āpau i loaʻa. Pehea ʻoe e makemake ai i ka hoʻoponopono uila o ka armrest waena? ʻAʻohe o ia hoʻoholo i ka ʻoihana kaʻa o ka honua ma mua a ma hope paha! Ua hoʻoponopono hou ʻia ke kaʻa a mākou i hoʻāʻo ai, a ʻaʻohe ʻano wiwo ʻole o loko e like me kona waho. Inā ʻaʻole luʻulu. Akā nā mea nani o ka ʻili a me nā inserts wahie hamama-ʻaʻohe varnish! - nānā nani lākou me ka ʻole o ka hoʻonui a hāʻawi i kahi ʻano kupaianaha o ke ʻano o ke ola. Ke kākoʻo nei ʻo XM a ke hele nei paha.
Ma lalo o ka pāpale, loaʻa ka ʻenekini maikaʻi loa - kahi V6 ʻekolu lita me 200 horsepower, nona nā aʻa e hoʻi i nā makahiki he kanahiku, ua piha me nā ʻūlū. Ma ka laulaha, ʻo nā ʻenekini kekahi o nā wahi nāwaliwali o ka Citroen XM i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana me nā "Kelemania" i ulu i loko o nā mākala, akā ke holo maikaʻi nei kēia mana o luna. Manaʻo pono, passport 8,6 kekona i hoʻokahi haneli, hana kikoʻī o nā "mekanika" ʻelima wikiwiki (ʻae, ʻae!), A ʻo ka mea nui loa - kahi mālama mana paʻa a ma hope o 120 mau kilomita i kēlā me kēia hola, huli ka hāpai i hope, inā ʻaʻole i kahi hekili o autobahns, a laila i loko o kahi grand magnificent a huakaʻi no ka mea.
Ma hope o nā mea āpau, ʻaʻole hiki ke kāhea ʻia ka hilinaʻi a kēia Citroen i nā wikiwiki wikiwiki i kahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka hoʻokalakupua - a he mea ʻole ka maikaʻi o ka aspal i lalo o nā huila. Aia ka mea huna i ka wehe hydropneumatic ponoʻī: ʻike ʻia ia i ka hapalua o ka makahiki ma ke ʻano DS, akā mai ia manawa ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi o ka honua ke hana hou, a hāʻawi ʻo Rolls-Royce a kūʻai wale i kahi laikini mai Citroen. . A ma aneʻi ua maʻalahi ka ʻōnaehana - me nā mea ʻike e heluhelu i nā palena neʻe, a me kahi lolo uila e hoʻoponopono aunoa i ka ʻoʻoleʻa. I ka 1989!
ʻAʻohe pīhoihoi ke kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka maʻalahi o ka holo, akā, pono ʻoe e ʻōlelo me ka huaʻōlelo ʻo "laumania o ka lele". Me he mea lā ʻaneʻane kokoke ka XM i ka levitates, pā iki i ka honua: ʻaʻohe haʻalulu ʻaʻole ma nā noho wale nō, akā ma ka huila hoʻokele hoʻi - ʻaʻole like ia me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Kapa ʻia ka ʻōnaehana ʻo Diravi a he ʻāpana ia o ke kaapuni neea holoʻokoʻa, kahi e hoʻopili ʻia ai ka hoʻomaha a me nā paleki. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe pili pololei me nā huila: hāʻawi wale ʻoe i kahi kauoha i nā hydraulics, a ua launa pū me ka ʻūpā. No laila - ka nele piha o nā kuʻi maikaʻi ʻole ... akā, a me nā manaʻo kuʻuna.
Me he mea lā e keʻakeʻa weliweli kēia i ka huli, akā ʻaʻole: ʻo ka hoʻokele o ka XM he ʻoi loa, pane koke ke kaʻa iā ia me ka makaʻu ʻole - a i ka manawa like ʻaʻole makaʻu iki ia. Me ka wikiwiki e hoʻonui ana, ninini ʻia ka "wili hoʻokele" kaumaha (ʻoiaʻiʻo, hydraulics) me kahi hana i hope, a i ka huli ʻana ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻike o ka ʻike i loko o kāna ʻano maʻamau, i ka nui, ʻaʻole koi ʻia no ka hilinaʻi a me ka ʻike i nā mea āpau e hana ana. i ka mīkini. ʻO Magic he mea ia!
Kipaku ʻo Citroen XM ma ke ʻano he like ʻole me nā kaʻa maʻamau he paʻakikī e kāpae i ka manaʻo ua haku ʻia ia ma kahi ʻē aʻe. Me he mea lā i nā lā o DS, ua hana like ka Palani me ka diabolō, a mai kahi ʻē aʻe mai kahi ʻē aʻe, ua hāʻule wale kahi pūʻulu blueprints ma luna o lākou. Ua lilo ka waihona o ke kumu i 30 a 40 mau makahiki ma hope, ua ʻokoʻa ka nui o nā mīkini ma hydropneumatics mai kā lākou mea hoʻokūkū - a ʻoi aku iā lākou ma nā ʻano he nui.
No laila he aha ka mea i hana ai? No ke aha i wili ʻole ai ʻo XM i ka poʻe hoʻokūkū i ka pauka i nā makahiki kanaiwa? Maopopo iā ʻoe, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia. Ua loaʻa koke i ka hāpai i ke poʻo inoa o ke kaʻa o ka makahiki, a ʻoi aku ke kūʻai aku ma 1990 ma mua o 100 tausani kope - kūlike me BMW E34 a me Mercedes-Benz W124! Akā i kēia manawa ua kū mai kahi nui o nā pilikia me ka uila a me ka uila, a ua hiolo ka kūlana o Citroen i ka hohonu. E hoʻomau ʻia ka hana ʻana o XM a hiki i ka 2000, akā ʻo ka huina holo he 300 tausani mau kaʻa wale nō, a me kona hope ideological - ka C6 ʻano ʻē - e hoʻopaneʻe i kāna hoʻomaka a hiki i ka waena o 5 ... a ʻaʻohe mea e pono ai. kekahi mea ʻē aʻe. E kū ka hoʻokuʻu hydropneumatic ma ka CXNUMX no kekahi mau makahiki he XNUMX, akā e haʻalele ʻo Citroen iā ia. Nui loa ka pipiʻi, ʻōlelo lākou.
ʻO kahi hopena kaumaha? He paʻakikī e hoʻopaʻapaʻa. Eia kekahi, ʻo de a me ka nui o "X-em" i ola a hiki i kēia lā, keu hoʻi i nā mana kiʻekiʻe - he kumukūʻai, paʻakikī a kumukūʻai hoʻi e mālama i kēia pono maʻalahi āpau. Akā palekana ke ʻōlelo ʻana i loko o nā makahiki he ʻelua mau makahiki e lilo ana kēia Citroen i mea hōʻiliʻili hoihoi a waiwai hoʻi, a he hanohano nui ia e hoʻokamaʻāina me ka moʻolelo e hiki mai ana i kēia manawa. A ke nānā nei i ka wā e hiki mai ana ʻo ia ke ʻano Citroen, ʻeā?
