2013年上半年车市胜负大盘点

公众认知：输家

亚洲优势

    美国汽车业的复兴是当下的一个时髦话题，但这个话题忽视了一些令人担忧的趋势。除了福特和雪佛兰之外，六月最受欢迎的汽车品牌包括丰田、本田、日产（Nissan）、现代和起亚（Kia）。五大亚洲厂商今年六月共售出501,153台车，底特律双雄加起来共售出420,908台车。如果只关注乘用车领域，双方的差距更大。今年六月，丰田的乘用车销量比福特和雪佛兰都要高，“亚洲五虎”共控制了美国乘用车市场的43.6%，相比之下，包括道奇在内的“美国三杰”只占据了本土市场的28.2%。随着中国已经成为全球最大的单一汽车市场，整个汽车业都在越来越向东方倾斜。（财富中文网）

Public perceptions: Loser

The Asian advantage

    The revival of the U.S. auto industry is a popular topic, but the conversation tends to overlook some worrisome trends. After Ford and Chevy, the next five most popular brands during the month of June were Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia. Together they sold 501,153 vehicles in June vs. 420,908 for Detroit's Big Two. When you look at passenger cars alone, the gap is even wider. Toyota sold more passenger cars than either Ford or Chevy in June, and combined, Asia owned 43.6% of the car market vs. 28.2% for America, including Dodge. With China now the world's largest single car market, the auto industry is tilting more and more to the East.
