弄巧成拙10大車型
|
????雪佛蘭SSR，2003-2006 ????雪佛蘭SSR是世界上第一款——也是唯一的一款硬頂敞篷皮卡。SSR意為“超級運動跑車”。在鮑勃?盧茨執(zhí)掌通用（General Motors）之前，通用推出過好幾款設(shè)計敗筆，SSR就是其中之一。車頂是駝背式伸縮硬頂，不用的時候可以收到后方。它是在雪佛蘭先驅(qū)者（TrailBlazer）的平臺上生產(chǎn)的，它的重量太重了，價格也高達42,000美元。消費者很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)，這款敞篷皮卡雖然在車展的旅轉(zhuǎn)展臺上看起來奇酷無比，但一旦投入量產(chǎn)，就成了一個價格虛高、華而不實的玩意兒。 |
????Chevrolet SSR 2003-2006 ????The world's first hardtop convertible pickup truck -- and, so far, the only one -- the SSR (for Super Sport Roadster) was one of the less-good product ideas General Motors tried before the ascendancy of Bob Lutz. The SSR tried to piggyback on the pickup truck boom with a topless version whose roof folded into the bed when retracted. Built on the Chevy TrailBlazer platform, the SSR was badly overweight and overpriced at $42,000. What seemed cool on an auto show turntable became an overpriced novelty when it went into production, which customers quickly figured out. |

????斯巴魯Baja，2003-2006 ????四座椅、轎車式駕乘、四驅(qū)、皮卡的小翻斗……斯巴魯（Subaru）把這些元素雜糅在一起，使用了力獅（Legacy）和傲虎（Outback）兩款車的零部件，試圖創(chuàng)造出一款別致的多用途汽車。不過它車身的塑料鍍層太多，而且早期車型噴涂的銀色加黃色的車漆搭配也太乍眼了。它的41英尺小翻斗也不是很實用。在這款車型停產(chǎn)之前，賣出去的數(shù)量只有斯巴魯預(yù)期的四分之一。 |
????Subaru Baja 2003-2006 ????Combining four-passenger seating and a car-like ride with all-wheel-drive and an open pickup bed, Subaru tried to create the all-purpose utility vehicle, using components from the Legacy and Outback wagons. But in an attempt to liven up the Baja, it ladled on plastic body cladding and painted early models a garish silver and yellow. The 41-inch bed wasn't very useful either, and Subaru sold only one-quarter as many Bajas as planned before ending production. |
