Kunezincazelo eziningi zamapende ezimoto ezintsha eziye zaduma eminyakeni yamuva, kodwa akekho noyedwa kubo ongakwazi ukuthwebula ngokugcwele okushiwo "ukwazi shazi".
Amathunzi angamathoni athambile anomhlaba - okumpunga, ama-tan, ama-tan, njll. - angenayo i-metallic flakes ekhanyayo evame ukuxutshwa nopende wemoto.E-Los Angeles egcwele izimoto, lolu hlobo lwezilwane luye lwasuka kokungavamile lwaya cishe yonke indawo eminyakeni eyishumi.Izinkampani ezifana nePorsche, Jeep, Nissan neHyundai sezihlinzeka ngopende.
Umenzi wezimoto uthi imibala yomhlaba idlulisa umuzwa wokuzidela - ngisho nokucasha.Kwabanye ochwepheshe bokuklama, umbala umelela ukuvumelana nemvelo.Kwabanye ababebukele, babenomuzwa wamasosha owawubonisa ubandlululo kukho konke ubuqili.Abagxeki bezimoto bazibona njengokubonakaliswa kwezifiso ezingqubuzanayo zabashayeli ukuze bagqame futhi bafaneleke.
“Lombala ngiwuthola upholile;Ngicabanga ukuthi umbala uyapholisa kakhulu,” kusho uTara Subkoff, oyiciko nomlingisi owaziwa ngomsebenzi wakhe, okuhlanganisa neThe Last Days of Disco, eyapenda iPorsche Panamera okumpunga okuthambile okubizwa ngoshoki."Lapho umthamo wezimoto uphezulu kanjena, futhi ukhule ngokwesayensi yezinkanyezi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule - futhi cishe ngokungabekezeleleki - okubomvu okuncane nokuwolintshi kungaba usizo."
Ingabe ufuna lokho kubukeka okungaphansi?Kuzokubiza.Ngezinye izikhathi uthando.Imibala kapende ehlinzekwa ngokuyinhloko ngezimoto zezemidlalo kanye namaSUV ngokuvamile abiza imali eyengeziwe.Kwezinye izimo, lezi kumane kuyizinketho ezingangeza amakhulu amaningana amadola ngentengo yemoto.Kwezinye izikhathi, bathengisa ngaphezu kuka-$10,000 futhi zenzelwe izimoto ezikhethekile ezifana nama-SUVs asindayo noma izihlalo ezimbili ezisindayo.
“Abantu bazimisele ukuthuthukisa amazinga okunquma futhi bakhokhe imali eyengeziwe ngale mibala ngoba ezinye izimoto zibukeka zingcono kakhulu [kuyo],” kusho u-Ivan Drury wakwa-Edmunds, ophikweni lwezokwazisa ngezimoto, ephawula ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi imibala inikezwa kafushane.umuzwa wokuphuthuma kwabangase babe abathengi.“Kwakungathi, 'Heyi, uma uyithanda, kungcono uyithole manje ngoba ngeke uphinde uyibone kule modeli.'
I-Audi iqale ukuthambekela ngo-2013 ngesikhathi iqala ukucula eNardo Grey nge-RS 7, i-coupe enamandla enezicabha ezine enenjini eyi-Turbo V-8 ekhiqiza amandla angaphezu kuka-550."Yimpunga yokuqala eqinile emakethe," kusho u-Mark Danke, umqondisi wezobudlelwano bomphakathi we-Audi of America, ekhuluma ngopende ongacacile.Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, inkampani yanikeza lo mbala kwamanye amamodeli e-RS anesivinini esikhulu.
"I-Audi ibingumholi ngaleso sikhathi," kusho uDanke."Imibala eqinile iya ngokuya iduma manje."
Nakuba le mibala ethulisiwe isineminyaka eyishumi inikezwa abakhiqizi bezimoto, ukuthandwa kwabo kubonakala kuphunyukile kakhulu kwabezindaba.Okuthunyelwe okumbalwa okubalulekile mayelana noshintsho lwesitayela eminyakeni yamuva nje kuhlanganisa isihloko esikuwebhusayithi ye-Capital One—yebo, ibhange—kanye nesihloko ku-Blackbird Spyplane, incwadi yezindaba ethrendayo eyabhalwa uJona Weiner no-Erin Wylie.Indatshana ephuma encwadini yezindaba ka-Weiner ka-2022 kuwo wonke ama-caps ibuza umbuzo ngobudlova: yini engalungile ngawo wonke lawo ma-A**WHIPS abukeka njenge-PUTTY?
Izimoto ezipendwe ngale mibala engeyona eyensimbi “zibonisa ukukhanya okuncane kunalokho ebesijwayele ukukubona emashumini eminyaka adlule, ngakho zinokuminyana kokubuka okukhudlwana kunozakwabo abangekho amafilimu,” kubhala u-Weiner."Imiphumela ibibuthakathaka, kodwa kuyabonakala ukuthi bekungacabangeki."
Uke wawabona amabhodi ezikhangiso enikela ngo-$6.95, $6.99, ngisho no-$7.05 ilitha likaphethiloli ovamile ongafakwanga.Kodwa ubani oyithengayo futhi ngani?
Ukushayela e-Los Angeles, kuyacaca ukuthi lawa mathoni asemhlabeni athola ukuduma.Ntambama yakamuva nje, i-Porsche ka-Subkoff ibipakwe e-Larchmont Boulevard, izinyathelo eziqhelelene ne-Jeep Wrangler ependwe nge-tani ekhanyayo ebizwa ngokuthi i-Gobi (upende olinganiselwe ubiza u-$495 owengeziwe, imoto ayisadayiswa).Kodwa izinombolo ezichaza impumelelo yalawa ma-hues kunzima ukuzithola, ngokwengxenye ngoba idatha yombala kapende etholakalayo iqukethe imininingwane encane kakhulu.Ngaphezu kwalokho, abakhiqizi bezimoto abambalwa benqabile ukudalula izinombolo.
Enye indlela yokukala impumelelo ukubona ukuthi izimoto ezithengiswa ngombala othile zishesha kangakanani.Endabeni yeloli elinezicabha ezine lakwaHyundai Santa Cruz elalizofika ngo-2021, amathoni amabili athule angashintshiwe - aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kanye ne-sage grey - ayedayise kakhulu emibaleni eyisithupha yakwaHyundai enikezwa iloli, kusho uDerek Joyce.omele iHyundai Motor North America.
Idatha etholakalayo iqinisekisa iqiniso elisobala mayelana nemibala yemoto: Ukuthanda kwaseMelika kuhlala njalo.Izimoto ezipendwe ngemibala emhlophe, empunga, emnyama nesiliva zenza amaphesenti angu-75 ezimoto ezintsha ezidayisiwe e-US ngonyaka odlule, kusho u-Edmunds.
Ngakho-ke uzifaka kanjani engozini ngombala wemoto yakho kuyilapho empeleni ungeyona into ejabulisayo?Udinga ukukhokha okwengeziwe ukuze ulahlekelwe iflash.
Buza abenzi bezimoto, abaklami, nochwepheshe bemibala mayelana nemvelaphi yethrendi yopende ongeyona eyensimbi, futhi uzogcwala imibono.
UDrury, umqondisi wocwaningo kwa-Edmunds, ukholelwa ukuthi ithoni yomhlaba kungenzeka ukuthi isuka ekulungiseni izimoto.Uthe ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990 nasekuqaleni kwawo-2000, abathanda izimoto bamboza imoto nge-primer - etholakala ngombala omhlophe, ompunga, noma omnyama - njengoba babengeza amakhithi omzimba nezinye izinto ngaphandle kwezimoto zabo, bese belinda.kuze kube zonke izinguquko zenziwe, ukudweba kuqediwe.Abanye abantu bayasithanda lesi sitayela.
Lezi zimoto ezihamba phambili zine-matte finish futhi zibonakala zivuse ukuvutha kwezimoto okuthiwa "ezibulewe" ezipendwe zaba mnyama.Lokhu kubukeka kungabuye kufezwe ngokubeka ifilimu evikelayo emotweni kuwo wonke umzimba - omunye umkhuba oye wavela eminyakeni eyishumi edlule noma ngaphezulu.
I-Beverly Hills Auto Club kanye nomnikazi waso u-Alex Manos banabalandeli, kodwa icala lithi lo mthengisi ubedayisa izimoto ezinomonakalo ongaziwa, izingxenye ezingenasici noma ezinye izinkinga.
Lezi zinselele, ngokusho kuka-Drewry, “zingenza kucace kubakhi bezimoto ukuthi upende we-premium awuhlali ufana nopende ocwebezelayo [noma] ocwebezela kakhulu.”
UDanke we-Audi uthe uNardo Gray wazalwa ngenxa yokulangazelela umbala okhethekile wohlu lwale nkampani olusebenza kahle kakhulu iRS.
"Umbala kufanele ugcizelele umlingisi wezemidlalo wemoto, ugcizelela ukuziphatha kwayo ukuzethemba emgwaqeni, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo uhlale uhlanzekile," esho.
Isafire kanye namathunzi ampunga akwaHyundai aklanywe u-Erin Kim, uMphathi Wokudala kwaHyundai Design eNyakatho Melika.Uthi ugqugquzelwe yindalo, okuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi emhlabeni okhungethwe yi-COVID-19.Kunanini ngaphambili, abantu bagxile “ekujabuleleni imvelo,” kusho yena.
Eqinisweni, abathengi bangase bangagcini nje ngokufuna ukuthi izimoto zabo zibukeke kahle emhosheni onamahlathi, kodwa futhi bafuna ukukhombisa ukuthi banendaba nomhosha onamapulangwe.U-Leatrice Eisman, Umqondisi Omkhulu we-Pantone Colour Institute, ubeka ukubukeka kwamathoni athulisiwe, asemhlabeni ekuqwashiseni okukhulayo kwabathengi ngendawo ezungezile.
“Sibona izinhlangano zomphakathi/zezombusazwe ziphendula le nkinga yezemvelo futhi sidonsela ukunaka ekwehliseni izindlela zokwenziwa nokuya ezindleleni ezithathwa njengeziyiqiniso nezingokwemvelo,” kusho yena.Imibala “isiza ukubonisa leyo njongo.”
Imvelo nayo ingumqondo obalulekile okhuthazayo kwaNissan njengoba izimoto zabo sezitholakala nge-aluminium shades iBoulder Grey, Baja Storm neTactical Green.Kodwa inomlingiswa othile.
“Hhayi umhlaba.I-Earthy high-tech,” kuchaza u-Moira Hill, umklami omkhulu wemibala kanye nokunquma e-Nissan Design America, ehlanganisa umbala wemoto nezinto zobuchwepheshe umhloli wamazwe angase agibele kuzo ku-4×4 ohambweni lwakhe lwasezintabeni ngempelasonto.Isibonelo, uma upakisha u-$500 we-carbon fibre camping chair, kungani ungafuni imoto yakho ifane?
Akukhona nje ngokuveza umuzwa wokuzidela.Isibonelo, upende ompunga we-Boulder udala umuzwa wokuba yimfihlo uma usetshenziswa emotweni yezemidlalo yakwaNissan Z, kusho u-Hill.Uthi: “Kubhalwe phansi, kodwa akugqami.
Le mibala ivela ezimotweni ezingaphansi kuka-$30,000 njengeNissan Kicks neHyundai Santa Cruz, ekhombisa ukuduma kwamathoni omhlaba angaphansi.I-tint eyake yatholakala ezimotweni ezibizayo kuphela - i-RS 7 yayinenani eliyisisekelo elilinganiselwa ku-$105,000 ngenkathi yethulwa eNardo Gray ngo-2013 - manje isiyatholakala ezimotweni ezithengeka kakhulu.I-druid ayizange imangale.
“Kufana nezinto eziningi: zingena ngesinyenyela embonini,” kusho yena."Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukusebenza, ukuphepha, noma i-infotainment, inqobo nje uma kusekhona ukwamukela, kuzodlula."
Abathengi bezimoto bangase bangabi nandaba nokusekela kwefilosofi yale mibala.Iningi lalabo okukhulunywe nabo kulo mbiko lithe lithenge lezi zimoto ezingashibhile ngoba nje lithanda ukubukeka kwazo.
Umqoqi wezimoto u-Spike Feresten, umsakazi we-Spike's Car Radio podcast, ungumnikazi wezinhlobo ezimbili ze-Porsche ezisindayo - i-911 GT2 RS kanye ne-911 GT3 - ezipendwe ngoshoki, futhi inkampani yembule umbala omusha.U-Feresten ubiza i-Chalk yakhe ngokuthi "ukhiye ophansi kodwa u-chic ngokwanele."
“Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu bayakuqaphela lokhu ngoba bathatha igxathu elincanyana mayelana nengozi yokukhetha umbala wemoto,” usho kanje."Babone ukuthi bakwiBig Four - emnyama, empunga, emhlophe noma esiliva - futhi bafuna ukuzama ukuyinonga kancane.Ngakho bathatha igxathu elincane bebheke eMel.”
Ngakho-ke uFeresten ubheke ngabomvu i-Porsche yakhe elandelayo ngopende ongelona insimbi: i-718 Cayman GT4 RS in Oslo Blue.Lona umbala womlando owasetshenziswa i-Porsche kumamodeli abo adumile angama-356 ekuqaleni kwawo-1960.NgokukaFeresten, umthunzi utholakala ngohlelo lwe-Paint to Sample.Imibala egunyazwe ngaphambilini iqala cishe ku-$11,000 futhi imithunzi yangokwezifiso ngokugcwele ithengiswa cishe ngo-$23,000 nangaphezulu.
Ngokuqondene no-Subkoff, uyawuthanda umbala we-Porsche yakhe (“Kuhle kakhulu”) kodwa akayithandi imoto ngokwayo (“Akumina lowo”).Uthe uhlela ukuqeda iPanamera futhi unethemba lokuthi esikhundleni sayo uzoyifaka iJeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid.
UDaniel Miller uyintatheli yebhizinisi lebhizinisi le-Los Angeles Times, esebenza ngemibiko yophenyo, izici kanye nephrojekthi.Ungowokuzalwa e-Los Angeles, waphothula e-UCLA futhi wajoyina abasebenzi ngo-2013.
