60年来10大最丑轿车
1957版福特水星巡洋舰
福特水星巡洋舰 为了避免落入通用(GM)的窠臼,福特(Ford)在很大程度上刻意忽略了尾鳍。尽管如此,福特水星巡洋舰仍是一样的丑,只是丑得有特点。该车最让人诟病的地方包括它的后挡泥板、前风挡顶端的两个通风口,还有为吹“过堂风”而设计的伸缩式后车窗,另外三种色调的涂漆着实不美观。 这款轿车仅仅生产了两年就停产了。电子元件的质量和装配的质量不足,可能也是造成这款车型难以为继的原因之一,但更大的问题无疑是它的设计品味太差。一位评论人士曾写道:“作为汽车过剩时代的伟大产品之一,它是在错误的时间、为了各种错误的原因而生产的一款长着错误的外形的错误产品。” |
Mercury Turnpike Cruiser Making a conscious effort to stand out from GM, Ford mostly ignored tailfins, but its designs were equally awful in their own way. Chief among them on the Turnpike Cruiser were rear fender side channels, twin air intakes at the top of the windshield, a retractable rear window for "Breeze-way" ventilation, and a three-tone paint job. The car remained in production for only two years. Troublesome electronics and poor assembly quality were partly to blame, but a bigger problem was the unmistakable air of poor taste. Wrote one reviewer: "As one of the great artifacts from the age of automotive excess, it was the wrong product with the wrong features, built at the wrong time and for all the wrong reasons." |
