IBMW M ilungiselela ukwethula iSUV yokuqala ezimele, iBMW XM, kanti bazoyiqamba kanjalo ngosizo lweCitroën.
Yebo kunjalo. Le modeli, ingxenye yayo enkulu kanye nezinso eziphindwe kabili ezazilindelwe ngisho kumshini wokubhalela, izoba negama elifanayo nelendawo yokucwala izinwele eyethulwa uhlobo lwesiFulentshi ngeminyaka yawo-1990 futhi eyaletha izici ezintsha ezinjengokumiswa kokulawulwa kwe-elekthronikhi.
Akulula ukudida i-plug-in SUV eyihybrid enamandla acishe abe ngu-700 hp (yilokho okufanele ikunikeze…) nesaluni yaseFrance eneminyaka engaphezu kuka-25. Kodwa futhi akuvamile ukuthola amamodeli amabili emikhiqizo ehlukene, anegama elifanayo lezohwebo.
Kodwa yilokho kanye okuzokwenzeka kuleli cala futhi «iphutha» liku-Citroën, ozobe esefinyelele isivumelwano nabakwaBMW ngokudluliswa kwegama.
Ukuqinisekiswa kwalesi sivumelwano kwenziwe umthombo wangaphakathi wakwa-Citroen encwadini ethi Carscoops: “ukusetshenziswa kwegama le-XM kuwumphumela wengxoxo eyakhayo phakathi kwe-Citroën ne-BMW, ngakho lokhu kucutshungulwe kahle futhi kwaxoxwa ngakho”.
Ingabe i-Citroën isebenzisa isifinyezo X? Kuyenzeka, kodwa futhi bekumele kugunyazwe
Le nkhulumomphendvulwano iphinde yanikeza "imvume" ukuze umenzi waseFrance akwazi ukuqamba ingaphezulu layo elisha lohlu, i-Citroën C5 X, eno-X egameni, uhlamvu olusetshenziswa uhlobo lwaseBavaria ukuhlonza wonke ama-SUV alo.
“Lokhu kuwumphumela ‘wesivumelwano samadoda’ okukhombisa ukwethulwa kohlobo olusha lwakwaCitroën oluhlanganisa u-X nenombolo, ebizwa nge-C5 X, kanye nomklamo wakwaBMW ekuhlobaniseni igama elithi X nomkhathi weMotorsport, abadumile bakwa-M”, kusho umthombo oshiwo ngenhla, ocashunwe ngabakwaCarscoops.
I-Citroën iyagunyaza kodwa ayiyeki isifinyezo
Njengoba bekulindelekile, naphezu kokuvumela i-BMW ukuthi isebenzise igama le-XM kwenye yezimoto zayo, i-Citroën yagcina ithuba lokusebenzisa leli gama esikhathini esizayo, ngenkathi ivikela ukusetshenziswa kwamanye amagama ngohlamvu u-X.
“I-Citroën izogcina ilungelo lokusebenzisa u-X emagameni afana ne-CX, i-AX, i-ZX, i-Xantia… ne-XM,” wengeza.
