弄巧成拙10大車型

????通用汽車EV-1，1996-1999

????EV-1是當代第一款量產的電動汽車。不過隨著加州放寬了對零排放汽車的要求（1990年加州的《零排放法案》曾規定，1998年在加州出售的新車中，“零排放汽車”的比例要達到2%，2000達到5%，2010年達到10%，后該法案的要求被放寬——譯注），因此EV-1投產不久，便失去了存在的意義。這些轎車的續航能力有限，技術落后，只有800臺EV-1找到了買家。通用在每臺EV-1上的損失高達數千美元，不得不終止了EV-1項目，并將已售出的車輛統統召回。在此過程中，通用在公關上也陷入了極度難堪的境地。

????General Motors EV-1 1996-1999

????The first modern mass-produced electric vehicle, EV-1 lost its reason for existence shortly after introduction when California loosened its requirements for zero-emission vehicles. Only 800 of the range-limited cars with outdated technology found customers. Losing thousands of dollars on each vehicle produced, GM discontinued the EV-1 and recalled them, suffering a huge public relations embarrassment in the process.?

????鈴木X-90，1996-1998

????這是一款兩座型SUV，采用了T-top式車型和四輪驅動，由于它的造型極為豐滿，因此有人管它叫“鞋車”。由于比例不大協調，加上性能有限（只搭載了一款95匹馬力的發動機，典型的小馬拉大車）。因此投產后僅三年，它就被扔到了歷史的垃圾箱里。在這三年中，這款車在美國只賣出了7,205臺。

????Suzuki X-90 1996-1998

????A two-seat SUV with a T-top and four-wheel-drive, the X-90 was known as the "shoe car" to some because of its extreme rounded styling. Its ungainly proportions and limited functionality (it was equipped with a tiny 95 horsepower engine) consigned it to the dustbin of history after three years of production, during which just 7,205 made their way to the U.S.
