Friedhain am Meer, Hetvesia, 2001
Wolfgang Kluwe is looking for a new ride, and visits a local car dealer.
Mr. Kluwe, natural aspirated engines are a leftover of the 20th century. Look at these two examples. A brand new Cavaliere Nobile Freccia 420T integrale. 230 horsepower, more than 100 per liter in a regular sedan. AWD, alcantara and carbon interior, a masterpiece from Frunia.
I don´t want an overly fancy thing, I need a reliable and economical one.
Primus has a new base engine for the facelifted Legacy. Such a large ride, yet a ridiculously low consumption. 164 horsepower and adequate performance, from just 1.8 liter. The secret? A supercharger.
Impressive, but this one is hardly exciting, and that brand isn´t known for low prices… I have 30.000 to spend.
Ummm, the Primus is 29.600 with automatic, sunroof and wood trim… otherwise slightly frugal. The Cavaliere with all options included is 28.400, but of course a lot smaller.
Yes, might be a bit tight in the interior in family use, and I do not trust the reliability, what are the alternatives?
BRIEF IN SHORT: OFFER WOLFGANG A SEDAN OR WAGON WITH EITHER TURBOCHARGER OR SUPERCHARGER
High priority
- Design, Wolfgang is a self-employed computer salesman, the car needs to look the part
- Economy and service cost, the car is his tool to earn money
- Reliability, a broken down car is a disgrace for someone earning money with being on time at appointment
Medium Priority
- Comfort, he tends to drive a lot and wants to arrive relaxed at his customers offices
- Performance, on unlimited highways, some vroom vroom is a good thing.
- Safety - he has family and wants not to die out there doing vroom vroom.
Low Priority
- Sportiness, Wolfgang might use a twisty country road to bypass a traffic jam on the highway.
- Practicality, it should serve as a family car, too, although Wolfgangs wife has an own car.
- Prestige, an overly low prestige might let his customers think that he isn´t good at his job.
- Purchase price, Wolfgang is not afraid to use up his budget, but will prefer the cheaper car if it offers the same value over another.
