Cars of the Japanese market, which is not in Russia
It is interesting to find out which cars are popular in Japan right now.
RHD cars until 2009, when due to the crisis imposed protective tariffs, tens of thousands penetrate our market through Vladivostok. And even in the west you can still find "pure Japanese". Now, when practical sense in buying a car from Japan is small, we are isolated from their local market.
Toyota Crown
Crown (some because of ignorance of the rules of reading English model called Crown) - a living legend in the Japanese car industry. On the conveyor belt this car got back in 1955, and already three years later started to supply LHD variants in the US.
Now in Japan sold the fourteenth generation Toyota Crown, which debuted at the end of 2012. Three versions: a "normal» Royal, Sports Athlete and elongated Majesta. The motors are for them as a purely petrol and hybrid and transmission - automatic only, with six or eight steps. As an option is available, and all-wheel drive.
The primary audience of Toyota Crown - are businessmen, wealthy hired workers and mid-level civil servants. Crown often found in corporate and public garages.
In parallel with the new crown, lard expensive electronics, the Japanese still implement a "classic" version based on eighth-generation two-liter diesel engine. Toyota Crown Comfort comes only for a taxi, and Toyota Crown Sedan, different bumpers and optics - for individual enthusiasts conservative style.

Russian trace
The Russians know a lot about the big comfortable car, so Toyota Crown in our honor. Even in Moscow and St. Petersburg, many large Japanese sedans, and even beyond the Urals, they - and at a common sight.
In the secondary market, the vast majority - are machines 90s and the first half of the 2000s, with there very well maintained, because the car is really worth it to take care of him. However, the Crown to buy the latest generation is not a problem - especially for fans of the "right" car peregonschiki continue to carry cars from Japan.
By the way, quite a close relative of Toyota Crown is quite officially sold in Russia Lexus GS. But any connoisseur of Japanese cars will tell you that soplatformennye Lexi - is "not."

Nissan Skyline [b]
The name "celestial line" is familiar to Russians mainly on the game Need For Speed, and the films "Fast and Furious» - Skyline greatly respected Brian O'Connor, played by the late and eternally young Paul Walker. Many incredibly surprised when I learned that under this brand in Japan since the late '50s and sold sedans and station wagons, vans and commercials, and at the end of the 2000s - and even crossovers, known worldwide as the Infiniti EX.

Nissan Skyline latest generation went on sale in February 2014 aimed at wealthy Japanese over 40. The only possible body - prosaic 4-door sedan, and the only power plant - a hybrid of the V6-shaped "six", and the electric motor in the amount outstanding of 364 horsepower and 546 Newton meters. It does not like? Yes this is the characteristics of the new Infiniti Q50. Modern Skyline - it soplatformennika, and very close.
Russian trace
Skyline in the secondary market much - valued lovers drift, straight flight and other outdoor activities at the wheel. Most models of the 90s - generation R33 and R34. Quite a lot more modern and V35, was produced until 2006. Skyline subsequent model years are not so interested in the Russian buyers, because they are too similar to Infiniti. And why buy Infiniti c right-hand drive, when there is a normal?

Honda Vezel
In the first half of the 2000s, Honda has tried to trade subcompact crossovers - many of us remember the model of HR-V. Honda Vezel - second attempt to master this segment, and judging by the sales in Japan, which debuted in December 2013. Vezel already ranks sixth in absolute standings, it is doomed to success.
The audience - those who did not have on CR-V. Such stylistic differences between what was the HR-V and CR-V before, have not - of nowadays subcompact is very similar to his older brother.
Wiesel is based on a Honda Fit, known in Europe under the name Jazz. The power unit - a 1.5-liter engine power of 132 plus or CVT 7-speed automatic transmission for a hybrid version.
Russian trace
The Russian representative Honda admitted that the crossover Vezel Russian showrooms we will see, though only in 2015. As for the name is not all clear to the end, and it is likely that the new baptized trusted name HR-V.
Mitsubishi Proudia
Once in our market fell sharpened by the American market Mitsubishi Galant, we have forgotten how to look like big sedans this brand. Sami Mitsubishi executives have decided not to prove anything to anyone, and simply abandoned this segment, so the only sedan in the export market today - it's Lancer.
But the domestic Japanese market - is another matter. There Mitsubishi found another way out. Look closely at the outlines of Mitsubishi Proudia. Yes, it is Infiniti M. More precisely - Nissan Fuga, but with three diamonds on a modified grille. Otgadka lies in the fact that Nissan and Mitsubishi have signed an agreement on strategic partnership and the sharing of platforms and technologies. And if in the crossovers and minivans Mitsubishi to rely on yourself, sedans and Hetchy all classes (including as Colt and Lancer) will be based on platforms of Nissan.
In Japan, Mitsubishi Proud addressed the same audience as the Toyota Crown - wealthy businessmen and employees with high salaries. Engines - two V6 of 2.5 and 3.7 liters. All-wheel drive is available only with the most powerful engine and the hybrid propulsion system - solely on the long version Proudia Dignity.
Russian trace
In Russia, find Mitsubishi Praudia unrealistic. In 1999-2001, it was issued the previous generation model, built on the basis of Hyundai Equus, but released it was so modest circulation that before Russia did not reach the machine. New Proud needed here even less than the Nissan Fuga, because the modest demand for premium sedans nissanovskie quite satisfied Infiniti M.
Toyota Aqua
It was strange to be writing about the domestic Japanese market, and ignore the best-selling model - the hybrid subcompact hatchback Toyota Aqua. In 2012, he went on sale in Japan and the United States. And if the American model is considered more or less extravagant product, in the Land of the Rising Sun is a real mainstream.
In the first half 2014 sold more than 123,000 cars. Most fans Aqua - young people who have idealistic consciousness favorably combined with a lack of money to buy a normal car and refueling.
The power unit borrowed from the older model Prius: petrol 1.5-liter, 61-horsepower electric motor and a CVT. In total yield 99 hp 2 and 83 liters per 100 kilometers. Prius, simply due to its weight, consumes 3.9 liters and it captivates the audience, because the fuel in Japan - fun not cheap.
Russian trace
Despite the fact that import duties are high, Toyota Aqua 2012-2013 model years in Russia can be found. Those who wish to join the mainstream Japanese have to stock up 500-650 thousand rubles and take into account the cost of delivery from Vladivostok or Khabarovsk.
Subaru Levorg
The name stands for Levorg LEgacy, reVOlution, touRinG. Indeed, this compact wagon is the successor to departed to rest Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon. It is smaller in all dimensions, but the Japanese are not confused - daunsayzing from generation to generation there now in vogue. In fact it turns out that Levorg - in this Impreza station wagon.
Japanese sales Levorga began in January 2014. The choice of buyers offer two turbocharged four oppozitnika- "boxer": a 1.6-liter 170-horsepower 2.0-liter and 300-hp (the latter is also tied for the Subaru WRX STi). Choice of transmissions there: the only full drive, and the box - only variator Lineartronic.
Russian trace
Due to the fact that sales have started recently to aftermarket Subaru Levorg is not reached. But you can be sure that in a year and a half, the proposal will, as fans of "hot" Subaru in Russia is not yet extinct.
