史上最不靠譜的年度汽車

雪佛蘭Citation、雷諾聯盟、普利茅斯沃拉雷……這些車天生就是垃圾車,但是每一款卻都是專家們評選出的年度車型。看來美國專家也是不靠譜的。他們的腦子在想什么呢?
1977雪佛蘭Caprice/1991雪佛蘭Caprice Classic???? ????這樣一款車型居然兩次獲獎,簡直令人匪夷所思。40歲以下的人應該還記得Caprice Classic轎車臃腫的車身,人們常常把它比作一頭擱淺的鯨魚。1977年版的Caprice轎車曾一度被奉為“史上最好的雪佛蘭轎車”,而1991年版Caprice的框架式車身和后驅的V8發動機剛一推出就已經過時了。但它卻在執法部門里贏得了一些粉絲,因為它當警用巡邏車來用還是不錯的。 |
1977 Chevrolet Caprice/1991 Caprice Classic ????A bizarre two-time winner, the Caprice is best remembered by those under 40 for the bloated Classic, whose looks were frequently compared to a beached whale. While the downsized 1977 model was lionized as "the best Chevy ever," the 1991 model, with its body-on-frame construction and rear-drive V-8 powertrain was obsolete upon introduction. It later found law enforcement fans as a police cruiser. |
