那些年,我們一起迷過的平民跑車
龐蒂克Solstice/土星Sky ????前通用汽車CEO鮑伯?盧茨在其任內曾出過許多昏招,他本來希望通過龐蒂克Solstice和土星(Saturn)Sky這兩款跑車讓通用煥發青春,就像道奇蝰蛇(Viper)之于克萊斯勒(Chrysler)。2005年,龐蒂克Solstice倉促上馬,一開始銷售勢頭甚猛,但不久后,隨著媒體曝出Solstice的車頂問題以及儲物空間過于狹小,銷量開始一落千丈。它的銷量在2006年達到頂峰,共賣出19,710輛,到了2009年已一路下跌到4,826輛。土星Sky的表現甚至還不如前者。它的最高銷量是2007年的16,567輛,2009年則只賣出4,178輛。 |
Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky ????Among Bob Lutz's less brilliant ideas, the Solstice and Sky were supposed to rejuvenate GM the way his Viper did for Chrysler. Rushed into production in mid-2005, the Solstice created an initial sales fever that quickly cooled off when news got out about the quirky top and the absolute lack of any storage space. Sales peaked at 19,710 in 2006 but then tumbled all the way to 4,826 by 2009. The Sky did even worse. It reached sales of 16,567 in 2007 and two years later sold only 4,178. |
