2013年上半年车市胜负大盘点

动力技术：输家

柴油

    各大汽车厂商还在继续推出柴油车型，但是它们的亮点却越来越少。大众展厅外停着的几款柴油车型看起来就像无人问津的孤儿。大众公司（Volkswagen）目前在美国销售的5款柴油车型占它在美所有在售车型的五分之一，但今年柴油车型销量平平，大众也正在经历许多客户向汽油车型转型的一年，同时它也在等待新车型到店。除了大众之外，2013款的雪佛兰科鲁兹（Cruze）、马自达6（Mazda 6）和吉普大切诺基（Jeep Grand Cherokee）也都有自己的柴油版。这些车型都是各自品牌的排头兵，但是你可能很少听说过它们还出过柴油版，因为它们所吸引的关注实在太少了。

Powertrain technology: Loser

Diesels

    Automakers continue to roll out more diesels, but the buzz factor is close to zero, and outside of a Volkswagen showroom, the handful of models available look like orphans. VW now sells five diesel models that represent a fifth of its U.S. sales, but it is experiencing a transition year in 2013 with flat sales while it waits for redesigned models to arrive. Elsewhere, new for 2013 are diesel-powered Chevy Cruzes, Mazda6's, and Jeep Grand Cherokees -- all pioneering models for their brands -- but you would hardly know it from the lack of attention.
