摘要

Maybe it was post-traumatic nostalgia, but among the 700 models on display at the Detroit motor show this week, there was one recurrent theme: the return of the station wagon, or something looking a lot like it. They may still be called sport-utility vehicles (SUVS) or crossover vehicles, but an increasing number are morphing back into the shape of the wagons that once defined American suburbia. These are odd times for the American car industry. General Motors, scared that consumers would stop spending after September's terrorist attacks, launched deep discounts to "Keep America Rolling". Ford and DaimlerChrysler were forced to follow suit. These incentives helped to push American motor-vehicle sales to 17.2m last year, their second-highest-ever level. But the cost was scary: prices down by 1% all round, and the likelihood that sales will fall this year. Richard Wagoner, GM'S chief executive, acknowledges that up to 75% of the extra sales that his company has generated since September were simply pulled forward from the first half of this year.
