這些設計是創新還是腦殘？你說了算。不過以下10款汽車從來沒有流行過。

????通用Envoy XUV，2004-2005
????Envoy XUV是皮卡和SUV嫁接后的產物，它的特點是后方車頂可以收縮，能夠露出后面的儲存空間，搭載一些塊頭比較高的物體。消費者們不知道該拿這款又丑又貴的皮卡型SUV怎么辦，而整天拉著小樹苗和老式大座鐘跑來跑去的人貌似也很少。通用本來預計每年賣出90,000萬臺，但2004年卻只賣出12,000臺。于是2005年初，這款XUV就結束了它悲慘的命運。 |
????GMC Envoy XUV 2004-2005
????A weird combination of pickup truck and SUV, the Envoy XUV was distinguished by a retractable rear roof section, creating an open-topped load area that could accommodate tall objects. Customers didn't know what to make of the homely, expensive creation, and the market for people carrying small trees and tall case clocks proved small. GM expected to sell 90,000 annually but managed only 12,000 in 2004 and put the XUV out of its misery early in 2005. |

????謳歌ZDX，2010年至今
????融合雙座轎跑的外觀，四門轎車的性能，以及SUV的實用性，按理說無可挑剔了吧？可是汽車網站Edmunds.com卻說這是一款令人撓頭的車型——“一款自重很重的跨界SUV，實用性卻只和一臺緊湊型掀背車相當，后排座位狹窄，而且犧牲了載物能力。”消費者也對這款車型敬而遠之，這款跨界SUV每月的銷量僅有150臺。 ????譯者：樸成奎 |
????Acura ZDX 2010-
????Combine the looks of a coupe with the functionality of a sedan and the utility of an SUV, and what do you get? Edmunds.com calls it a head-scratcher -- "a hefty crossover SUV that's about as practical as a compact hatchback with a cramped backseat and compromised cargo capacity." Buyers are staying away in droves; Acura sells only about 150 a month. |
