[size=150]**Saminda ordered dealer to stop selling 18 models and stops production including 5 Auxuras’s and 3 Neomo’s **[/size]

Saminda took the extraordinary step on Monday of suspending the manufacture and sale of ten of it models because of an unresolved iginition flaw that might cause the car to catch fire

The move comes after the massive recalls involving millions of vehicles . The Japanese carmaker told its dealers to temporarily stop selling the CR1 , CR3 , CR5 ,CR6 and CR7 , C1 , C3 , C4, C5 and C7 , Auxuras ITL, ETL , STL , ELX and SLX , Neomo Zhia , Casda and Funtion , Saminda said in a statement. Production lines that bulit those cars will be idled for the week starting Monday. The standstill is a huge setback for a company that built its business largely on a reputation for reliability

Andrew Herrick , Head of Saminda Motor Sales of North America said the models represent 65 percent of sales of the Saminda brand and more than half of sales of the parent company, which also makes Auxuras.

The company’s group vice president and Saminda division general manager, Eric Ballman , said in a statement that “this action is necessary until a remedy is finalized. We’re making every effort to address this situation for our customers as quickly as possible.”

Saminda has been struggling with ignition problems for months. In late January , it recalled more than 10 million vehicles after a Auxuras ETL was involved in a fiery fatal accident in New York that focused public attention on the danger. The victim Jon David had an accident that crashed a tree although he suffered a few scratches at that time but was fainted , the left side of the steering collumn suddenly caught fire causing the car to explode that resulted his death , forensic said that there is a mechanism problem at the ignition that result in a fire , the family is suing Saminda for $2 million in a lawsuit. In addition, two recent incidents in Texas and New Jersey are “under active investigation,” a Saminda official said although no fatality was reported.

[quote]**The CR45 is a mid-sized 8-Seater SUV designed and engineered by Saminda Motor Thailand (SMT) and sold in mainly the Asian countries. The CR45 is never sold in it own country Japan, but is sold in Australia , in 2014 Saminda cancelled it plan to sell it as Neomo but instead continue to sell it under the Saminda brand , the CR45 is the best selling SUV in this segment and it out sells its competitors by a huge margin.

The front of the CR45 have been fully redesigned , The exterior has been designed so that the CR45 can do both the school run and go off-roading with ease. It has a modern SUV design but it still retains the butch old school ruggedness that is visible in the SUV’s tall stance. Powering the CR45 is the same either a 2.7-liter four cylinder and a 4.0-liter V6 , those engines are designed to have peak power on low rpm , the four cylinder unit makes 167BHP @6300 RPM and 251NM of torque @2400 RPM while the V6 unit makes 255BHP @6300 RPM and 368NM of torque @2600 RPM.

The CR45 gets an all-wheel drive gearbox with high and low range to enhance its off-roading ability. It also gets rear differential locks that give the SUV a go anywhere capability.

The company has given the SUV a modern look so that it appeals to more buyers. The negative point of the old car was its dashboard. The new car gets a new refreshing dashboard and lots of equipment. These points should help Saminda retain its mammoth share of the segment.**[/quote]

Saminda CR45 looks pretty cool, however I think that those handles are out of place. If you really want to keep them angled, maybe paint them in body color?

Well… It’s not that I call it f…ing ugly, but for me those handles are quite controversial… Just like Multipla

When i was in Thailand for vacation , i rented the Saminda CR45 with 2.7L engine on it , i feel the car is quite sluggish and very underpowered… but it’s very comfortable.

Pitched as an entry-level model and aims to make a whole new generation fall in love with driving, continuing the proud heritage of Saminda’s fun-to-drive lightweight sports cars. The Saminda CZ-S is their brave attempt to blend fun driving dynamics with fuel efficiency

The CZ-S offers different modes of driving – Sport, Normal and Eco. It took 8.6 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h in Sport mode and a fuel economy of 63 MPG

It’s a fun car to drive, but it’s not going to cut it as your primary set of wheels. It lacks some power that we expected due to its engine capacity, but it handles very well in its sport mode and is economical.**[/quote]

Saminda CZ6 (Auxuras CZ6 in North America and UK)

**Engine : CER Series , CER550F **

[quote]**The CZ6 is a Supercar manufactured and sold by Saminda , The CZ6 will be sold as Auxuras in North America and United Kingdom , while it will be sold as Saminda in Japan , the car is bulit in America in California Saminda Performance R&D plant , When the original Auxuras CZ6 made its debut 24 years ago, it forever changed the supercar universe by combining scintillating sports car styling and athletic performance , common traits long associated with the exotic car segment with a new dimension of quality, exceptional ergonomics, comfort, and dynamic poise.

The CZ6 was originally develop by the founder of Saminda before his death , Kuro Saminda , which is a childhood dream for him .

Design, Development and Manufacturing
Development of the new CZ6 involved a global team of engineers and designers, with development of the 3.5-liter twin-turbo powertrain unit centered in Takahashi, Japan. Development of the body, chassis, electrical, interior and other vehicle technologies was concentrated in California , USA. Styling design for the CZ6 was conducted at the company’s Auxuras Design Studio in California.

Powertrain
Featuring a wide V-angle of 75 degrees to help lower the center of gravity, the CZ6’s twin-turbocharged V6 engine achieves the best balance between power production, overall compactness and reduced mass. With a displacement of 3.5-liter, it combines both direct injection and port injection, along with Inteligent Variable Intake Control (i-VIC) to deliver optimal camshaft phasing, for better combustion control throughout the entire rpm band while simultaneously achieving high power output and performance at high engine speeds.

Making use of an electronic wastegate for each turbocharger for faster response as well as more precisely varying vane positioning, the single-scroll turbocharger design allows for the use of smaller turbos to reduce weight and improve packaging, while still meeting power and performance benchmarks. Furthermore, the single-scroll design allows for more efficient collection of exhaust as it escapes from within the cylinders.

Wheels/Tires
The standard wheel design package for the new CZ6 includes lightweight alloy wheels with style spokes wrapped in Continental Conti-Sport Contact 5P tires developed jointly with Continental.

By combining timeless CZ6 values and advanced technologies to create zero delay performance in all aspects of the vehicle, the new 2014 Auxuras CZ6 represents a completely new and uniquely Auxuras expression of what a supercar should be with superior ergonomics, groundbreaking design and supercar thrills every day without compromise.

HIGHLIGHTS

3.5-liter Twin-turbocharged 75-degree DOHC V6 engine
