Okokuqala, sabona amalungelo obunikazi afakwe ku-coupe entsha ye-Toyota ngewebhusayithi ye-Carscoops. Akumele silinde isikhathi eside ukuthi ibonakale bukhoma futhi inemibala futhi sabe sesilazi igama layo: Toyota La Coupe.
Lena indaba exakile, ngoba nakuba simazi kuphela manje, waziwa “njengokuzulazula” e-Japan kusukela okungenani ngo-Okthoba 2018 - lokhu kwenzeke kanjani ukubaleka ku-inthanethi? Kuba yinqaba, njengoba kungekho lwazi olusemthethweni mayelana nalo mqondo; kuzo zonke izinhloso nezinhloso, kufana nokuthi yayingekho.
Ngisho nezithombe ongazibona akuzona ezisemthethweni zomkhiqizo, kodwa ezabantu abaye bawela izindlela neLa Coupe emadolobheni amaningana lapho kukhonjisiwe khona. Phela, iyini indaba ebangela lo mbono?
IToyota La Coupe
Okokuqala, kulokho esingakubona ezithombeni, i-coupé encane enemigqa ehlukile futhi ewuketshezi. Isitayela sakhe asinakho ukuhlukumeza okubonakalayo okuvamile kule typology, eveza ubuso "obuhlanzekile", singasho ngisho nobungane. Idlala nelogo yakwaToyota kungemuva eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okusikisela i-hybrid powertrain.
Ingemuva ingeyokuqala kakhulu, iphindaphinda izixazululo ezifanayo esizithole ngaphambili, ikakhulukazi uma sibheka imimo efanayo yamaqembu okubona, anekhonturi ye-alimondi. Umehluko ophawuleka kakhulu yindlela ingemuva elide eligcina ngayo ku-spoiler esibiziwe.
Umthamo waleli khebhi ufana nezimoto ezifana nePeugeot RCZ, kodwa iToyota La Coupe ayifani neze — ngokuyibheka ibingeke ihlukaniseke kunoma iyiphi enye i-coupe esike sayibona. Futhi ihluke kakhulu uma siyiqhathanisa nephothifoliyo yamanje yomkhiqizo wase-Japan, ishintsha ama-grille amakhulu, ama-crease acacile kanye namakhonco amaningi agcina ngama-vertices acijile, ukuze kube nesitayela esibushelelezi, esiwuketshezi.
"Umfowethu wesithathu"
Akungabazeki ukuthi lokho kwasenza safuna ukwazi sonke. Kungani ukuvakasha komphakathi kwase-Japan kanye nolwazi olusemthethweni olungekho mayelana ne-La Coupe?

Siyazi ukuthi iToyota ifuna ukuba nenqwaba yezimoto zezemidlalo njengoba kwenzeka phambilini ngesikhathi iphethe i-MR2, Celica kanye neSupra ohlwini lwabo olubizwa nge-Three Brothers. Namuhla, i-GT86 inesimo esifanayo neseCelica futhi iSupra manje isingena emakethe, ngakho-ke kukhona okushodayo ukugcwalisa indawo ye-MR2.
Déja vu
Ngo-2015, embukisweni wezimoto iTokyo Motor Show, kwaToyota bethula i-prototype ebizwa ngokuthi i-S-FR, ezobekwa ngaphansi kwe-GT86. Yayine-prototype encane, njengoba ifaka yonke "imikhaza" yemodeli yokukhiqiza, okungukuthi ukuba khona kwezibuko ezivamile nezibambo zeminyango kanye nengaphakathi eliphelele.
Yayingenayo injini ngemuva, njenge-MR2, ithatha amakhonsathi amancane anesakhiwo esifana neseMazda MX-5—injini yangaphambili eyi-longitudinal nedonsa ngamasondo angemuva — umehluko wokuba nayo. isikhala somugqa wesibili wezihlalo. Nokho, naphezu kwesimo sokulungela sembulwa, njengokungathi isilungele ukukhiqizwa, yanyamalala ngokushesha njengoba yayibonakala.
Ingabe iToyota La Coupe “ingumfowethu wesithathu” olahlekile?
AbakwaCarscoops baphenya kabanzi futhi bathola impendulo esemthethweni kwaToyota, ngemenenja yabo ephezulu uNancy Hubbell, impendulo yakhe kwavela ibhakede elikhulu lamanzi abandayo. Ngokusho kwakhe, iLa Coupe ibiwucwaningo lwangaphakathi ophikweni lwakwaToyota lwaseJapan, bengenanhloso yokuyikhiqiza. Amalungelo obunikazi ashicilelwe ngisho ne-Carscoops ayedingeka ukuze aboniswe esidlangalaleni.
Siqhubeka "nezeze ngemuva kwendlebe"... Kunamahemuhemu okuthi "umfowethu wesithathu", ozothatha indawo ebikade ethathwe i-MR2 kungenzeka abe ngogesi, ngaleyo ndlela enze kube nokwenzeka ukusebenzisa isiteji se-TNGA, ebeka injini kagesi. kwi-asi engemuva, engavumela, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukugcina igama elithi MR2 noma i-Midship Runabout 2.
Uma ubheka indlela ebukeka ngayo iToyota La Coupe, ingaphambili layo lifishane kakhulu nangemuva lide, ilingana kahle “nesidalwa” esinenjini phakathi nendawo ngemuva noma ngemuva. Ingabe i-La Coupé ingesinye seziphakamiso eziningi zokuklama ze-MR2 ecatshangelwayo? Kusele ukuthi silinde.
