2013年最不受欢迎的10大车型

    现如今大家普遍觉得，新车质量都挺不错的。如果一辆车不是启动可靠、驾驶给力、刹车安全、而且外形像样，你是不会买的。而且只需要再多加几美元，就能获得各种电子装备，比如导航仪，或曾经是高档品牌专享的车身稳定控制系统。就算是最不上档次的车型，性能也非常可靠，而仅仅是十年前这就算是楷模了。

    不过，还是有些汽车厂商要比同行更有眼力，而且有些车型工艺也更精良，能对得起它们自己喊出的口号。它们是那些不会停在经销商的停车场上没人搭理、设计拙劣、上市时机不对或是定价不合适的车。

    笔者在编撰这份“2013年最不受待见车型”榜单时广泛参考了多方意见，包括职业评估师的评价，汽车记者的评论，《汽车新闻》（Automotive News）收集的销售数据以及我自己的驾驶体验和行业报告。我没有随便堆砌三菱（Mitsubishi）这样过气的品牌或是铃木（Suzuki）这样的断档品牌，也没有选择那些早已停产的过时车型。同样我也没选奔驰斯玛特（Smart fortwo）这样老是充当替罪羊的车型。但是，我的这张榜单同样也免不了主观痕迹。

    The conventional wisdom these days is that there are no bad new cars. You can't buy anything that doesn't start reliably, drive competently, brake safely, and look respectable. For just a few dollars more, you get an array of electronic helpers ranging from navigation devices to stability controls that used to be the exclusive province of premium brands. And even the flimsiest models have reliability records that as recently as a decade ago would be viewed as exemplary.

    Still, some automakers have a clearer vision than others, and some models are better engineered to fulfill their stated purpose. Those that aren't languish unloved on dealers' lots, badly designed, badly timed, or badly priced.

    In compiling this list of 2013's most disliked cars, I have been guided by critiques from professional evaluators, reviews by automotive journalists, and sales data compiled byAutomotive News, as well as my own driving impressions and industry reporting. I have avoided piling on distressed brands like Mitsubishi and discontinued ones like Suzuki and obsolete models that are already out of production. I have also tried to avoid traditional whipping boys like the Smart fortwo. But, of necessity, my list is highly subjective.

    2013款讴歌RLX

    按照汽车网站Autoweek一位编辑的说法：“拿Acura RLX开涮是全美汽车媒体同行的消遣。”这么说也确实有理有据，评论者都觉得这车平淡乏味却价格奇高。《华尔街日报》（The Wall Street Journal）的评论家更是对讴歌的这辆旗舰车型大加讽刺，说它“像奶油一样不讨人厌”，“像消毒双手一样干净”，并认为它“看起来，感觉上就像是一辆被捧得高高的，非要配置过度的本田雅阁（Honda Accord）”。而在汽车网站The Truth About Cars上，评论者则盯上了它那6万美元起的售价并指出：“除非讴歌改变这辆车的配置（要么就降价），RLX注定就是辆叫好不叫座的车。”

    2013 Acura RLX

    As an Autoweek editor observed, "Abusing the Acura RLX is a national pastime among the automotive press." And with good reason; reviewers found it bland, boring, and over-priced. The Wall Street Journal's reviewer skewered the Acura flagship for its "creamy inoffensiveness" and its "hand-sanitized sterility" and judged that it "looks and feels like an exalted, compulsively over-equipped Honda Accord." And over at The Truth About Cars, the reviewer took note of its $60,000-plus loaded price tag and concluded, "Until Acura realigns their flagship's capabilities (or shrinks the price tag) the RLX is destined to be the car everyone likes but nobody buys."
