Lapho isikhathi esiningi sihamba, ngiye ngiyithanda kakhulu I-Citron XM . Imodeli eyayimele, ngeminyaka yawo-90s, wonke amanani esihlale ehlotshaniswa nohlobo lwesiFulentshi: induduzo, ubunkimbinkimbi nobuchwepheshe.
I-Citroen XM yayiyikho konke lokho. Futhi ngo-1998 uhlobo lwesiFulentshi lwethula futhi lwakhangisa incazelo yokugcina yalowo moya: i-Citroën XM Multimedia. "Ihhovisi elihamba ngamasondo" iminyaka engu-20 ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
I-inthanethi nokuphequlula? Yebo yebo
Usakhumbula ukuthi i-inthanethi yayinjani ngo-1998? Ngiyakhumbula. Kwakucishe kube ngumlingo omnyama. E-C+S engaya kuyo, bekunekhompyutha eyodwa kuphela ene-inthanethi. Ukuze bafinyelele i-inthanethi, kwakudingeka bashayele ikhompuyutha kusasele izinsuku ezimbili. Khona-ke kwakuyindaba nje yokulinda futhi, ngokuvamile, lapho usuku lokugcina lufika... ukuxhuma akuzange kusebenze.
Kwaze kwashaya isikhathi sokuthi kufonelwe uchwepheshe wamakhompyutha kulesi sikole, azame ukuxazulula izinkinga zaleyo khompyutha iscreen sayo esigcwele amakhadi amakhulu akhombisa izimali zomphakathi eziwubeke lapho.
Kwakukulo mongo lapho umkhiqizo waseFrance wethula i-Citroën XM Multimedia. Isikhulu esiphezulu esiklanyelwe osomabhizinisi abakholelwa esimisweni esithi “isikhathi siyimali”.
I-Citroën XM Multimedia isivele inohlelo lwe-GPS, oluhlinzekwa nguMagneti Marelli, olunesikrini sokuthinta kanye nemiyalo yezwi. Yayibizwa ngokuthi “I-Route Planner” futhi singayibheka njengokhokho wezinhlelo zesimanje zokuzulazula.
Kakade ngemuva, sithole "igugu emqhele". Ikhompuyutha edidiyelwe, enokufinyelela ku-inthanethi, umabonakude nocingo. Uhlelo lwaluqhutshwa ngemonitha ye-LCD ngosizo lwekhibhodi engenantambo. I-monitor ye-LCD, naphezu kokuba yango-1998, isivele isetshenziswe ngendlela ethintekayo.
Ngezifiso zokuba ukukhethwa kwabaphathi, ubuntu kanye nezikhundla eziphezulu, i-Citroën XM Multimedia kwadingeka inikeze injini ukuze ihambisane nomsebenzi. Yingakho abakwaCitroën belandela injini yodumo eyi-3.0 V6 eyakhiwe yi-PSA kanye neRenault kanye neVolvo, iPRV.
Ngenxa yale njini, i-Citroën XM Multimedia imemezele i-194 hp ku-5500 rpm. Ibhokisi, yiqiniso, likwazi ukuzenzakalela kuphela.
I-Citroen XM Multimedia. ibaluleke kangangokuthi yanyamalala
Ngo-1998 i-Citroën XM Multimedia yayingumbukiso weqiniso wezobuchwepheshe. Naphezu kwakho konke - noma mhlawumbe ngenxa yalokho - i-Citroën ikhiqize amayunithi angu-50 kuphela ilebhu yayo yokunethezeka futhi wonke ayebomvu njengalawo aboniswe kulesi sihloko.
Akukacaci ukuthi ibikuphi indawo yokugcina yamayunithi angama-50 e-Citroën XM Multimedia. Iningi lalisetshenziswa amabhrendi njengezimoto epaki labezindaba (ukuba izintatheli zihlole) kanye nemibukiso kumakhasimende.
Ngemuva kwalesi sikhathi, umkhiqizo waseFrance wanquma ukuhoxisa ku-Citroën XM Multimedia konke okwenze "Multimedia". Amakhompyutha asusiwe, i-GPS nayo, futhi i-XM Multimedia yathengiswa njenge-XM “evamile”.
Kubikwa ukuthi kunamakhasimende acele ukugcina ama-logo - isicelo abanye abathengisi abavumelana naso - nokuthi kugcinwe amathreyi anikeza izihlalo zangemuva.
Namuhla, siyabona ukuthi kungani uCitroën wayefuna ukuhoxisa i-XM Multimedia emakethe. Ubengafuni ukubeka engcupheni ubuchwepheshe bakhe buwela ezandleni zomncintiswano. Njengoba sibona. Njengoba kusasele iminyaka engamashumi amabili, abakwaCitroën babelindele inkambiso yanamuhla enkulu: imoto exhunyiwe.
