????2013款迷你庫(kù)柏Paceman

????一直以來(lái)，迷你打造品牌的手段就是圍繞同一款車型不斷花樣翻新，推出數(shù)款變體車型。但這款最新車型——即第七代——似乎細(xì)分得有點(diǎn)過(guò)分了。評(píng)論者很難搞清這輛體型不大，外形時(shí)髦的兩門車是為誰(shuí)設(shè)計(jì)的。大家的怨言主要集中在這輛車的功能、性能和價(jià)格上，它的售價(jià)要比機(jī)械性能相似的四門版Countryman貴1,500美元。《人車志》的評(píng)論是：“Paceman算不上運(yùn)動(dòng)車型，它的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)也沒(méi)法提供很多刺激的動(dòng)感體驗(yàn)，”并管它叫“一個(gè)小眾品牌的小眾車型的小眾改款車”。而汽車網(wǎng)站Edmunds.com則評(píng)論說(shuō)：“可以肯定”，更普通的酷越車“就能比它更好地充當(dāng)廉價(jià)實(shí)用的交通工具”。

????2013 Mini Cooper Paceman

????Mini has built its brand by contriving numerous variations of the same thing, but the latest iteration -- the seventh in its lineup -- seemed to slice the sausage too thinly. Reviewers had a hard time figuring out for whom the tiny, high-style two-door was designed. Complaints focused on function, performance, and a price point that was $1,500 higher than a mechanically similar Countryman with four doors. "The Paceman is no sports car, and the engine doesn't provide many thrills either," said Car and Driver, which called it "a niche variation on a niche model within a niche brand." Edmunds.com advised that "it's safe to say you'll find cheaper and more practical transportation" with more traditional crossovers.
