十款急需全面整容的汽车

凯迪拉克凯雷德

Cadillac Escalade

    通用目前仍未决定是否应继续生产凯迪拉克凯雷德EXT皮卡（Cadillac Escalade EXT）。不过考虑到这款豪华运动型多功能皮卡与即将停产的雪佛兰Avalanche是同一个平台上的产物，因此它的最终归宿也不难想象。除了EXT之外，其它型号的凯雷德车型的前景仍不明朗。不过通用在2014年前很有可能把超前和复古风杂糅在一起，在别克昂科雷（Enclave）的基础上生产一款更经济的凯雷德跨界车，同时重新推出美国人喜闻乐见的皮卡版本。

本田陵线

    GM has not decided whether to continue producing the Cadillac Escalade EXT, but since the luxury sport-utility truck shares the same architecture as the soon-to-be-phased-out Chevy Avalanche, you can consider it dead as a dodo. The future of other Escalade models remains a bit cloudy. The betting right now is that GM will try to look forward as well as back by building a new, more economical crossover Escalade in 2014 based on the Buick Enclave in addition to redoing the familiar truck-based version.

Honda Ridgeline

    消费者基本上对一体式皮卡的概念不感冒，自从本田（Honda）2005年率先推出个车型以来，没有任何一个竞争对手在这个市场上跟进，不过本田的陵线（Ridgeline）仍然在苦苦支撑，而且它的设计与最初版相比也基本没有什么变动。今年三月本田一共只卖出1,215台陵线皮卡。不过它就像美剧《行尸走肉》（Walking Dead）里的僵尸一样始终拒绝死去。至少从现在看来，本田还没有透露出任何改进、取代或干脆一枪毙了它的计划。

丰田FJ酷路泽

    Buyers have essentially rejected the idea of a unibody pickup that Honda first introduced in 2005, and no competitor has copied it, but the Ridgeline soldiers on, more or less in its original form. Only 1,215 found buyers in March, but like one of the zombies in Walking Dead, the Ridgeline refuses to die. If Honda has any plans to improve it, replace it, or kill it with a shot to the brain, they have yet to surface in public.
