底特律恐龍:6大瀕臨滅絕的美國(guó)車(chē)
飛車(chē)少年
????肌肉車(chē)是美國(guó)獨(dú)有的傳統(tǒng)車(chē)型,,不過(guò)它的后驅(qū)設(shè)計(jì)和燒油的V8發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)注定了它在海外不會(huì)暢銷(xiāo),就連在美國(guó)本土也前景堪憂,。這不免讓喜歡肌肉車(chē)的老派車(chē)迷痛心疾首,,但尺寸縮水和發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)降缸恐怕在所難免。連《速度與激情5》(The Fast and the Furious)都成了日本車(chē)的大薈萃,,那些開(kāi)福特野馬(Mustang)和雪佛蘭科邁羅(Camaro)的車(chē)主們只怕也會(huì)紛紛轉(zhuǎn)向尺寸更小,、發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速更高的亞洲車(chē)型。 |

Hot Rod Harrys
????Muscle cars may be a quaint American tradition, but rear-drive layouts and gas-guzzling V-8s don't play well overseas -- and would seem to have little future in the U.S. either. Traditionalists will scream, but a downsizing and de-engining seem to be in order. Look for hot-shoe Mustang and Camaro drivers to follow the lead of "The Fast and the Furious" and move into smaller, higher-revving Asian models. |
