2013年已經到來。新的一年里,超級珍藏版法拉利問世;菲亞特500推出豪華轎車;汽油價格繼續高企。這些或嚴肅、或詼諧的預測,哪些會變成現實?
4月 ????釣鮭魚的季節到來,梅賽德斯-奔馳(Mercedes-Benz)開始針對售價高達75,000美元的CLS63 AMG旅行車(Shooting Brake)展開大促銷,為每輛車配備一套巴伯夾克(Barbour jackets)、長筒雨靴和兩根售價達3,000美元的碳纖維飛蠅釣竿(fly rods)。而一旦消費者發現《汽車族》( Motor Trend)雜志刊登的消息后,這一特別促銷就變得更勢在必行了:一款同級的梅賽德斯E級旅行車,行李箱容積還要大14立方英尺,售價卻要低16,000美元。 |
April ????At the opening of trout season, Mercedes-Benz boosts sales of its $75,000 CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake by equipping each car with a pair of Barbour jackets, Wellies, and two $3,000 graphite fly rods. The special promotion becomes necessary when buyers discover what Motor Trend did: an equivalent Mercedes E-Class wagon with some 14 cubic feet more cargo space sells for around $16,000 less. |
