Toyota VIOS E- disadvantage
-
>>
>>A married couple is driving along a highway doing a steady forty
miles
>>per hour.
>>
>>The wife is behind the wheel. Her husband suddenly looks across at
her
>>and speaks in a clear voice. "Darling," he says. "I know we've been
>>married for twenty years, but I want a divorce."
>>
>>The wife says nothing, keeps looking at the road ahead but slowly
>>increases her speed to 45 mph.
>>
>>the husband speaks again. "I don't want you to try and talk me out of
>>it,"he says, "because I've been having an affair with your best
friend,
>>and she's a far better lover than you are."
>>
>>Again the wife stays quiet, but grips the steering wheel more tightly
>>and slowly increases the speed to 55. He pushes his luck. "I want the
>>house," he says insistently.
>>
>>Speed Up to 60.
>>
>>"I want the car, too," he continues.
>>
>>Speed Up to 65 mph.
>>
>>"And," he says, "I'll have the bank accounts, all the credit cards
and
>>the boat."
>>
>>The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete bridge.
>>
>>This makes him a wee bit nervous, so he asks her: "Isn't there
anything
>>you want?"
>>
>>The wife at last replies - in a quiet and controlled voice. "No, I've
>>got everything I need." she says.
>>
>>"Oh, really?" he inquires, "so what have you got?" Just before they
>>slam into the wall at 75 mph, the wife turns to him and smiles.
>>
>>"The airbag."
>>
>>Never underestimate how a woman thinks.
>>
>>Moral of the story don't buy Toyota VIOS E as it has only one airbag.
>>
>>The husband sure die laa and wife will get everything. -
75mph = ~120kph = 33.3m/s
V =u + at, assuming car stops within 5 seconds,
0 =33.3 + a(5)
a = -6.67m/s^2
F = ma, assuming mass of car + passengers = 1100kg,
F = 1100(-6.67)
= -7333.3N
Divide this F by g (=9.81),
|F| = ~ 747G ----> The force acting on the passengers is 747times the G-force.
The airbag won't save you.
Conclusion:
Illogical story.
-
she got 2 airbag. one natural one
-
The writer must have been a VIOS hater or stupid. 'everyone' knows VIOS has 2 airbag....
-
VIOS HAVE 2 AIR BAGS>...
DUN ANYHOW PUT STORY IF YOU ARE IGNORANCE.
I remember this story is for another CAR which has 1 airbag. Obviously the sad car user change the car name. STUPID.
Its one of the better looking cars around on the street and it does not cost a bomb like the Mazdas, have better FCs than the Hyundais, similar horsepower and torque with 1.6litres like the Lancer, Sunny, reliable strong VVTI TOYOTA engine (alot of taxis are toyota engines and they are running very well after so many years).
Choose a Vios if you do not hav the $$$ but wan a equally good, reliable car with equally good sporty looks and good FC.

Its supposed to be a joke rather a fact..
-
All you guys, before you open your mouth and scold the girl, pls get your facts right first. Else you make yourself look like a fool only.
The joke did not say don't buy Vios in SINGAPORE.
You think Vios is only sold in beloved Singapore meh?? -
But i gotta say. Cars nowaday either cheap car without airbag at all or with airbag that is 2... i repeat one at driver and one at passenger side.

Very hard to joke about specific car models, coz there are 2 very special groups of people. They type that can take jokes, and the type that cannot take jokes.
-
cool down man....i guess the 1 who started this juz wanted to crack a joke...pls pple dun get too work up...

Then you had better open your eyes wider when you are on the road. If that is too difficult for you, the easier option is to go to various showrooms to take a look at the stationary cars.Originally posted by LittleTiger:But i gotta say.

Just because YOU do not see it does not mean it does not exist. Remember, the world does not revolve around you. -
Agreed. The former probably gets worked up with the mere mention of the word "Thai".Originally posted by ditzy:Very hard to joke about specific car models, coz there are 2 very special groups of people. They type that can take jokes, and the type that cannot take jokes. -
THEN U alsop OPEN UR EYES and look carefully, i mean NOWADAYS (new model) !!!! not last year, not previous year model or those 10yrs old car but still on the road!!!!Originally posted by mushigen:Then you had better open your eyes wider when you are on the road.

I did open my eyes and read carefully your post, stating clearly that nowadays ALL cars come with either two airbags or none. A visit to some of the showrooms will show you that some cars indeed come with one airbag. And these cars are manufactured in 2004, mind you.Originally posted by LittleTiger:THEN U alsop OPEN UR EYES and look carefully, i mean NOWADAYS (new model) !!!! not last year, not previous year model or those 10yrs old car but still on the road!!!!
Oh, so now you are talking about NEW models. In that case, I have to agree with you. Than means the new Ford Laser is not a new model. Just recycled trash. Ok, I stand corrected.
