????車界聾子

????大眾汽車（Volkswagen）經常被大家質疑在理解美國市場上有點耳背。今年它宣布將把英國的營銷高管約翰森?布朗寧撤換成一個名叫邁克爾?霍恩的德國人。大眾2013年在美國的銷量下跌了5%，業內其實早已對此做出過預測，因為它的兩款核心車型帕薩特（Passat）（見上圖）和捷達（Jetta）都已經有年頭了，而全新高爾夫（Golf）在大眾準備推向美國市場時也早已上市兩年了。

????Tone deaf

????Volkswagen, which is often suspected of having a tin ear when it comes to understanding the U.S. market, announced it is replacing the British executive in charge of sales, Jonathan Browning, with a German, Michael Horn. VW's U.S. sales slump in 2013, down 5%, was widely forecast because its two core models, the Passat (above) and Jetta, are aging and the new Golf will be two years old before VW gets around introducing it to the U.S. market.
