捷豹XF

????捷豹XF（Jaguar）這些年過(guò)得并不如意，這款轎車開辟了捷豹車型設(shè)計(jì)的一個(gè)新時(shí)代。不過(guò)它的表現(xiàn)卻為那些過(guò)于標(biāo)新立異的設(shè)計(jì)師敲響了警鐘。雖然捷豹XF即時(shí)拋棄了該品牌傳統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)語(yǔ)言，但在今年，也就是XF上市的第四個(gè)年頭，它的銷量卻出現(xiàn)了明顯下滑。2011年對(duì)于其它豪車來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)豐收的年份，但據(jù)Edmunds.com的計(jì)算，XF的銷量下跌了28%。捷豹也適時(shí)在今年7月的紐約國(guó)際車展上發(fā)布了XF的改款。

Jaguar XF

????The years have not been kind to the XF, the car that launched a new era of Jaguar design. Call it a warning to stylists who stray too far from the familiar. Despite the XF's timely departure from the cues of Jag's heritage designs, sales dropped sharply during its fourth year on the market. In an otherwise strong 2011 for luxury car sales, Edmunds.com calculates the XF suffered a 28% falloff. Jaguar's mid-cycle refresh scheduled for July couldn't have come soon enough.
