評(píng)委的選擇 ????“年度汽車大獎(jiǎng)”投票要到2012年初才舉行,，現(xiàn)在就開始猜哪個(gè)品牌和車型將奪得大獎(jiǎng)是不是為時(shí)過(guò)早,？ ????當(dāng)然不是。畢竟,，今年奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)剛落幕那一瞬間,，有關(guān)明年誰(shuí)會(huì)獲獎(jiǎng)的傳言就流傳開了。為什么汽車界的大獎(jiǎng)就應(yīng)該有所不同呢,？ ????遴選年度最重要的汽車絕非毫無(wú)意義。設(shè)計(jì)者和工程師為汽車嘔心瀝血,，這種評(píng)選能證明他們的能力,，為他們的工作履歷增光添彩。而對(duì)營(yíng)銷人員來(lái)說(shuō),，大獎(jiǎng)能為他們提供極具價(jià)值的第三方認(rèn)可,，它能有效地用于薦證廣告（advertising testimonials，源自美國(guó)聯(lián)邦交易委員會(huì)制定的《薦證廣告行為指引》（Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising——譯注）,。而對(duì)汽車業(yè)而言,，大獎(jiǎng)能提高行業(yè)的影響力，在車展處于低潮的秋末初冬時(shí)期帶來(lái)潛在的銷售增長(zhǎng),。 ????最引人矚目的兩項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)是：“汽車趨勢(shì)”大獎(jiǎng)（Motor Trend's）,，由《汽車趨勢(shì)》雜志（Motor Trend）編輯評(píng)選的；“北美年度汽車”大獎(jiǎng)（North American Car of the Year (NACOTY)）,，由50位記者（包括筆者在內(nèi)）組成的評(píng)委會(huì)評(píng)選,。本文列出了一些得票最高的候選車型，并附上了筆者預(yù)測(cè)的的勝出幾率,。 |
Picks from the oddsmaker???? ????Is it too soon to start speculating about which brand and model will take home car of the year honors when the votes are counted early in 2012? ????Heck no. After all, buzz about next year's Academy Award winners starts within microseconds after the ceremony for the current year concludes. Why should cars be any different? ????Selecting the most important auto for a given calendar year no empty exercise. For the designers and engineers who worked on the car, it brings a resume-enhancing validation of their skills. For marketers, the award provides a high-value third-party endorsement that can be used effectively in advertising testimonials. And for the industry, it generates publicity and a potential sales lift in the late fall and early winter when showroom activity is slow. ????The two most prominent awards are Motor Trend's, chosen by the magazine's editors, and North American Car of the Year (NACOTY), selected by a panel of 50 journalists (including me). Here are some of the top candidates and my guesses about their odds for winning the big prize. |
