3. 戴姆勒

??? 雖然戴姆勒近年歷經(jīng)高端品牌邁巴赫（Maybach）停產(chǎn)和北美負(fù)責(zé)人因假公濟私而突然離職等風(fēng)波，但它還是成功保住了第三名的位子。無論經(jīng)濟氣候是好是壞，梅賽德斯奔馳都保持著超級豪車廠商的聲譽，再加上董事長迪亞特?柴奇具有出色的個人魅力，這使得奔馳與其它風(fēng)格一絲不茍的競爭對手相比，多了一些平易近人的個性。隨著奔馳的新旗艦車型S級轎車的發(fā)布，奔馳2012年的銷量預(yù)計將大幅提升。新S級轎車在傳統(tǒng)的V8和V12汽油引擎動力之外，還將首次加入一款混合動力車型。（注：上圖為奔馳E級）

3. Daimler?

??? Daimler's Mercedes-Benz deflected embarrassments like the elimination of the Maybach line and the abrupt departure of its North American boss in an expense account dispute to hang on to third place. Through good times and bad, Mercedes has maintained its reputation as the uber automaker, and with its charismatic chairman Dieter Zetsche, it has added an approachable personality that sets it apart from its gray-suited competitors. Mercedes will get a big lift in 2012 from the debut of its flagship S-Class, which for the first time will add a plug-in hybrid option in addition to the usual gas-gulpiing V-8s and V-12s. (Note: E-Class shown.)
