从庞蒂克Fiero到平民保时捷,各汽车厂商一直没有放弃推出平民跑车的尝试。以下谨为大家介绍几款在汽车史上占有一席之地的平价跑车,在纪念它们远去的同时,也让我们庆祝平价跑车在2012年的复兴。
丰田MR2 MR2是丰田推出的一款个性非常模糊的中置引擎后驱双座跑车。在1984至2007年间,美国公路上不时可见第一代MR2的身影。尽管它的工艺无可挑剔,但对于那些习惯了销售卡罗拉(Corolla)和凯美瑞(Camry)的经销商来说,MR2还是太难卖了。“丰田”这个金字招牌也没能增加它的需求。终其一生,MR2的销售都非常有限,丰田也早已把注意力转移到更加迫切的问题上,比如混合动力轿车。 |
Toyota MR2 A very uncharacteristic two-seat, mid-engine, rear-drive creation of Toyota, the first generation of "Mr. Two" squirted around American roads off and on from 1984 to 2007. Despite its engineering brilliance, the MR2 was a bridge too far for dealers used to selling Corollas and Camrys, and the Toyota insignia didn't add to its desirability. Sales remained miniscule throughout its life, and Toyota has turned its attention to more pressing issues, like hybrids. |
