2012年美国汽车销量排行榜十大输家

    2012年迄今，美国汽车销量增长了14%，但不是所有人都欢欣鼓舞。除了本田（Honda）、通用汽车（General Motors）（《财富》美国500强）和梅赛德斯-奔驰（Mercedes-Benz）等大品牌都有一些引人瞩目的车型销量大降，其他一些定位更细分的车型也面临客户群体萎缩的尴尬境地。

    销售滑铁卢的后果是：部分车型将由此被扔进垃圾堆，有些车甚至已经在那里了。凭借专业汽车网站Edmunds.com的强大数据，我尽力剔除了那些已明显消亡的车型。因此，像林肯（Lincoln）的Town Car、丰田（Toyota）的Matrix和三菱（Mitsubishi）的 Eclipse这类车，你得去其他地方找它们的讣告了。

    除此之外，下面就是2012年美国销量降幅最大的十款车。

    While auto sales are up 14% so far for 2012, not everyone is celebrating. Some high-profile models from big-name manufacturers -- Honda, General Motors (GM, Fortune 500), Mercedes-Benz -- have taken a dive, while more specialized concepts have found themselves appealing to an ever-smaller coterie of buyers.

    Failure has consequences. Some of the cars on this list are headed for the scrap heap, and one is already there. But with the help of Edmunds.com's capable statisticians, I have tried to eliminate the most obvious fatalities. So Lincoln Town Car, Toyota Matrix, and Mitsubishi Eclipse -- you will have to look elsewhere for your obituaries.

    With that said, here are the 10 models with the biggest sales drops in 2012.
