这些设计是创新还是脑残?你说了算。不过以下10款汽车从来没有流行过。
通用Envoy XUV,2004-2005
Envoy XUV是皮卡和SUV嫁接后的产物,它的特点是后方车顶可以收缩,能够露出后面的储存空间,搭载一些块头比较高的物体。消费者们不知道该拿这款又丑又贵的皮卡型SUV怎么办,而整天拉着小树苗和老式大座钟跑来跑去的人貌似也很少。通用本来预计每年卖出90,000万台,但2004年却只卖出12,000台。于是2005年初,这款XUV就结束了它悲惨的命运。 |
GMC Envoy XUV 2004-2005
A weird combination of pickup truck and SUV, the Envoy XUV was distinguished by a retractable rear roof section, creating an open-topped load area that could accommodate tall objects. Customers didn't know what to make of the homely, expensive creation, and the market for people carrying small trees and tall case clocks proved small. GM expected to sell 90,000 annually but managed only 12,000 in 2004 and put the XUV out of its misery early in 2005. |
讴歌ZDX,2010年至今
融合双座轿跑的外观,四门轿车的性能,以及SUV的实用性,按理说无可挑剔了吧?可是汽车网站Edmunds.com却说这是一款令人挠头的车型——“一款自重很重的跨界SUV,实用性却只和一台紧凑型掀背车相当,后排座位狭窄,而且牺牲了载物能力。”消费者也对这款车型敬而远之,这款跨界SUV每月的销量仅有150台。 译者:朴成奎 |
Acura ZDX 2010-
Combine the looks of a coupe with the functionality of a sedan and the utility of an SUV, and what do you get? Edmunds.com calls it a head-scratcher -- "a hefty crossover SUV that's about as practical as a compact hatchback with a cramped backseat and compromised cargo capacity." Buyers are staying away in droves; Acura sells only about 150 a month. |
