4月 钓鲑鱼的季节到来,梅赛德斯-奔驰(Mercedes-Benz)开始针对售价高达75,000美元的CLS63 AMG旅行车(Shooting Brake)展开大促销,为每辆车配备一套巴伯夹克(Barbour jackets)、长筒雨靴和两根售价达3,000美元的碳纤维飞蝇钓竿(fly rods)。而一旦消费者发现《汽车族》( Motor Trend)杂志刊登的消息后,这一特别促销就变得更势在必行了:一款同级的梅赛德斯E级旅行车,行李箱容积还要大14立方英尺,售价却要低16,000美元。 |
April At the opening of trout season, Mercedes-Benz boosts sales of its $75,000 CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake by equipping each car with a pair of Barbour jackets, Wellies, and two $3,000 graphite fly rods. The special promotion becomes necessary when buyers discover what Motor Trend did: an equivalent Mercedes E-Class wagon with some 14 cubic feet more cargo space sells for around $16,000 less. |
