謳歌RL

Acura RL

????短命,、悲劇的第二代謳歌RL的命運(yùn)即將宣告終結(jié),。這款車型雖然科技含量大，但缺乏個(gè)性,。自2005年推出以來,，從來沒有贏得過消費(fèi)者的歡心。今年四月謳歌在紐約車展上推出了重量更強(qiáng),、功率更強(qiáng)的新一代RL,，這一回本田的旗艦車型依然沒有采用V8引擎。新RL是否能扭轉(zhuǎn)謳歌的口碑,，還是個(gè)未知數(shù),。

美國(guó)鈴木

????The short, unhappy life of the second-generation RL is coming to an end. Technology-laden but personality-free, it was launched in 2005 and never found an audience. Acura unveiled its lighter and more powerful successor at the New York auto show in April, but once again Honda's flagship car will do without a V-8. Whether the new RL can escape the Acura blahs that afflict the rest of its lineup remains an open question.

American Suzuki

????你聽說過凱澤西（Kizashi）、SX4,、Equator,、大維特拉（Grand Vitara）這些車型嗎？大多數(shù)消費(fèi)者也沒聽說過,，不過這四款車型就代表了鈴木的整個(gè)轎車和皮卡產(chǎn)品線,。多年以來鈴木這家日本車商一直在縮減美國(guó)經(jīng)銷商的數(shù)量，而且雖然車市向好,，但鈴木的銷售一直節(jié)節(jié)敗退?，F(xiàn)在豐田兩天內(nèi)在美國(guó)賣出的凱美瑞（Camry）比鈴木一個(gè)月賣出的所有汽車都多。汽車廠商可以維持死而不僵的狀態(tài)很多年,，不過鈴木可能必須得放棄它的汽車業(yè)務(wù),，退守摩托車、ATV和船舶業(yè)務(wù)了,。

????Ever heard of a Kizashi, SX4, Equator, or Grand Vitara? Neither have most buyers, yet these models represent Suzuki's entire car and truck lineup. The Japanese automaker has been shedding U.S. dealers for years, and sales have been falling in a rising market. Toyota now sells more Camrys in two days than Suzuki sells all models in a month. Automakers can linger on in mummified states for years, but Suzuki may have to give up on motor vehicles and retreat to its motorcycle, ATV, and marine businesses.
