2012前瞻：新車扎堆上市，大戰(zhàn)一觸即發(fā)

豐田（Toyota）

????豐田（Toyota）在遭受了地震、海嘯和洪水的連番打擊后，再次開始發(fā)力。豐田最早推出的跨界車型RAV4又迎來了一次升級，此外雷克薩斯（Lexus）的大排量ES轎車也迎來了升級換代。豐田的北美銷售公司Scion也發(fā)布了一款與斯巴魯（Subaru）合作研發(fā)的后驅(qū)轎跑（如圖），另外普銳斯（Prius）增添了一款插電式車型。新款亞洲龍（Avalon）也讓經(jīng)銷商們垂涎不已。不過墨菲指出，總體看來，豐田和其它日本廠商的產(chǎn)品換代率開始放緩，已經(jīng)接近于行業(yè)平均水平。

Toyota

????Battered by earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods, Toyota is stepping on the gas. Its RAV4, the original crossover, gets an update, as well as the ES, Lexus's high-volume sedan. Scion launched a rear-drive sports car developed with Subaru (pictured), Prius adds a plug-in, and dealers have been drooling over the new Avalon. Overall though, Murphy sees Toyota and other Japanese automakers slowing their rate of product replacement closer to the rest of the industry.
