11款需要整容的汽车

2012/2013 本田思域

    2012款思域推出后引来舆论一片哗然。由于担心2008年雷曼兄弟公司（Lehman Brothers）破产后消费者会捂紧钱袋子，本田推迟了思域上市时间，采用更廉价的内饰来大幅削减成本。更糟糕的是，外形几乎看不出有任何改变。结果，本田没有像以往一样等上三年再改款，而是只用了18个月就推出了2013款（见上图）。这款车升级了内饰，改良了仪表板，还把引擎盖和后备箱变得更为动感。不过，部分因为小型车销售整体下滑，这款车的销量仍然不及一年前。

2012/2013 Honda Civic

    The introduction of the 2012 Civic produced an uproar. Worried about tightening consumer budgets after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, Honda (HMC) delayed Civic's introduction so it could slash its piece costs by substituting less expensive materials for the car's interior. To make things worse, exterior changes were barely discernible. Instead of waiting three years to do a makeover, Honda rushed one in 18 months for the 2013 model year (seen above), upgrading interior materials, refining the instrument panel, and giving the hood and trunk a sportier look. Sales are still running below a year ago, though, partly due to an overall slump in small car sales.
