R8与10万辆
R8以178.5万元的价格在中国上市了，与此同时，奥迪也公布了2007年其在中国市场的总销量——100,888辆。猛一看这两个好消息之间似乎并没有什么关联，但仔细想想，它却表明奥迪在中国的品牌形象正在迅速提升。2007年，无论国产车还是进口车，奥迪中国的销售业绩都有巨大的增长，总体涨幅24.8％。

The story behind the numbers: R8 and 100,888
R8 has been launched at a price of 1.78 million yuan in Chinese market, with a total sale of 100,888 las t year. The two f igures appear irrelevant. But taking a close look, you will find the correlation between the two that suggests the brand of Audi has been increas ingly popularized in China, which is evidenced by the fact that the general sale of Audi in 2007 has been raised with 24.8% including the number of local manufactured and the imported.

第三极 克莱斯勒铂锐
如果把日、欧比作汽车世界的两极，那么美国就是第三极。虽然克莱斯勒在美式汽车中只是小兄弟，但它仍占据着重要地位，在中国的表现尤其明显。尽管美国三大在本土市场上表现并不出色，但在海外市场上却有意想不到的收获。对于中国这个成长性非常好的新兴市场，它们当然不会轻易放过。

体贴入“V” 全新一汽丰田VIOS威驰
“Imagination, never lose my passion”想必不少人仍然对朴树的这首《Colorful Days》记忆犹新。当年这首歌曲好似一阵撩人的清风，把威驰带到了给了中国消费者身边。一款优雅清新的丰田车，足以让我们对未来的生活充满了无限遐想。

A caring friend FTMS VIOS
You can’t help singing “Imagination, never lose my passion”, the song by a Chinese singer when it comes to VIOS. Six years ago, it is the song that has brought VIOS into our sight and also built a stage to let us dream. It has surprised us a lot when
VIOS was first launched in China.

风格是一件外衣 丰田FJ酷路泽
一直以为自己不会真正喜欢上一丰田的车，原因很简单，当你开着一部丰田车的时候，你能很容易在车河中找到同道，但你却很难在车河中找到自我。丰田会很实用，比如凯美瑞和汉兰达，丰田会很坚毅，比如Land Cruiser和4Runner，丰田会很有科技感，比如普锐斯，但丰田没有风格，而且可以预见，未来的丰田也不会有风格，因为这就是丰田的风格。

Style is a cover Toyota FJ Cruiser
I thought I would never love a vehicle from Toyota. The reason is quite simple. When you drive it, it is not difficult to find someone who owns the same vehicle, so you are not unique any more. But, Toyota is as practical as Camry, and tough as Land Cruiser and 4Runner. But he has no style at all which we may not even see any in the future. Perhaps no style is just the style of Toyota.

军中大将 江淮宾悦
以前可能很多人没听说过江淮汽车这个自主品牌，这并不奇怪，因为它是以生产小型货车、豪华大巴和汽车底盘起家的。不过，经过多年的努力，并伴随着瑞风MPV、瑞鹰SUV的推出，其知名度便与日俱增。

A captain look Jianghuai Binyue
There is no surprise that we barely heard of the brand of Jianghuai in China before as the automaker is a small-sized company which started its auto business with minivans and luxury buses. Lately it launched MPVs and SUVs in the market,
so no wonder we start putting an eye on it.

喜欢美国风格 2008 Motor Trend年度皮卡
危机？什么危机？纵然汽油价格突破3美元一加仑，而且看起来08年前还将维持在4美元一加仑；纵然“次贷危机”让住宅市场陷入低迷，让敏感的华尔街变得萧条；纵然现在美元就像在大富翁游戏中一样不停贬值,从等离子电视机到金枪鱼寿司，所有东西都在涨价，美国人仍然喜欢皮卡。

Crisis? What crisis? Even though the price of gas has crashed through the $3-a-gallon barrier and looks hellbent on nailing $4 a gallon before the year is out, even though the sub-prime mortgage fiasco has trashed the home market and sent the nervous nellies on Wall Street into a tailspin, and even though the greenback is now worth about as much as Monopoly money, America still loves a pickup truck.

大众的DSG变速器已经从6挡发展到7挡，离合器从湿式变成了干式。多年前首次介绍大众DSG变速器时用的标题是“合二为一”，因为这种新型变速器无论从理论上还是结构上都是两个手动变速器的结合……
