梅賽德斯CLA和寶馬320i

??? 通過(guò)推出6系高端車型，梅賽德斯-奔馳（Mercedes-Benz）和寶馬（BMW）已幾乎徹底占領(lǐng)了豪華車的空白領(lǐng)域?，F(xiàn)在這兩家廠商開始掉頭向下，要進(jìn)軍價(jià)格較低的入門級(jí)豪車市場(chǎng)了。奔馳稱其CLA（上圖）為“一款造型叛逆的車”。它起價(jià)3萬(wàn)美元，瞄準(zhǔn)年輕買主。而相對(duì)保守的四缸寶馬320i起價(jià)為33,445美元。進(jìn)軍低端市場(chǎng)意味著這兩家德國(guó)廠商將犧牲自己的獨(dú)特性，但同時(shí)也會(huì)給那些希望進(jìn)軍豪車市場(chǎng)的品牌（謳歌、林肯、沃爾沃和別克）及大眾車領(lǐng)域的頂級(jí)車型（亞洲龍、金牛）帶來(lái)壓力。

4. Mercedes CLA and BMW 320i

??? Having largely filled all the white space in the premium luxury segment by pushing the tops of their model ranges well up into six-figure territory, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are heading down the price scale to entry-luxe country. Benz calls the CLA (top) "a style rebel" and is aiming at younger buyers with prices starting at $30,000. The more conservative four-cylinder BMW 320i (bottom) will start at $33,445. Moving downscale means the two German automakers risk sacrificing some of their exclusivity, but at the same time they will also be putting the squeeze on aspirants to luxury-car status (Acura, Lincoln, Volvo, Buick) as well as range-topping models (Avalon, Taurus) from mass marketers.
