SUZUKI Wagon R

SUZUKI Wagon R

I’d like to talk about “Do you know the difference?”, as a special program.
The first time, the car which I’d like to talk is Suzuki Wagon R.

K-car (軽自動車) is popular in Japan.
In late years approximately 40% of unit sales of new cars are K-car.

Suzuki Wagon R is one of the top sales car for a long time.
It became 5th generation model by full model change at Sep. 2012.
And, it is the best of low fuel consumption in K-car class by a fuel-efficient technology called “Ene-Charge”.

The car is this one.
Wagon R (NEW) 5th generation model (2012-)

And former model (4th generation model) is that one.
Wagon R (OLD) 4th generation model (2008-2012)

You might look the same car of these two cars (5th generation and 4th generation).

In case of full model change, a car styling is usually changed greatly to emphasize newness.
But you might not understand a difference of these two cars.

Do you know the difference?
I'll you the difference!

① A difference in shape of the head lamp.


② Color of door sash at center pillar and rear pillar.


Yes, it’s easy!
By knowing this, you are an authority of Wagon R!

The round shape body of this car was not popular among my family.

He owns this Crown for 10years.

Unfortunately, he has few opportunity to drive this large size car, because he became too old, over seventy years old.

Crown is usually in a garage of my home, and he drives another small car as a second car (Toyota Vitz).

He often talks to me "This Crown may be final car of my life・・・。"

But, Recently, he talks to me with bright eyes like a child.

"I want to own this Crown!"

NISSAN Cedric

NISSAN Cedric (Y34) (1999-2004)

Did you watch the People's Honor Award ceremony for Nagashima-san and Matsui-san at Tokyo-Dome yesterday?
I couldn't watch the ceremony without tears for great impression.

The car which I’d like to introduce today is Nissan Cedric which was carrying great two men in the ceremony.

This car is 10th generation model of Cedric.

It was manufactured from 1994 to 2004.

For long time, Cedric was a large class luxury car to represent Nissan.

However, in Japan, luxury cars as 4-door sedan was not popular.

So, this 10th generation was a final model as Cedric.

Now, the successor model of Cedric is Nissan Fuga.

Cedric was sold not only in Japan but also in United States as "INFINITI M45".

In such a meaning, Cedric is suitable for Matsui-san who played an active part in both two countries, Japan and United States.

INFINITI M45

But I think that you felt sense of incongruity in Nagashima-san getting into Cedric.

Because, long time ago, he was on TV-CM for Toyota MarkⅡ, competitor of Nissan Cedric.

You can see young Nagashima-san in this Toyota MarkⅡadvertising poster!
