2013款大众途观

    尽管途观的尺寸要比其他紧凑型酷越车小，而且后备箱空间也略小，它却照样因为自己的德国技术而要价颇高，所以消费者钱没少花，得到的却更少。顶配版2013年的售价是34,000美元，让它跟同级车相比处于成本劣势。空间不大、卖价高昂显然没法让它赢得市场。《美国新闻》（U.S. News ）就把它排在同级车中的第17位，远远落后于排在首位的斯巴鲁森林人（Subaru Forester）。《汽车族》杂志（MotorTrend）则在2012年对它这样评价道：“尽管途观被标榜为有别于对手的最佳选择，但驾乘体验及其内在却没法让它符合这种预期。”

    2013 Volkswagen VW Tiguan

    While the Tiguan is smaller than other compact crossovers and offers less cargo space, it also charges a premium for its German technology, so buyers get less for more. A well-equipped model went for $34,000 in 2013, putting Tiguan at a cost disadvantage to others in its segment. Small space and high price haven't turned out to be a winning combination. U.S. News ranked Tiguan 17th against its competitors, well behind the No. 1 Subaru Forester. Wrote MotorTrend in 2012: "While the Tiguan is marketed as a premium alternative to its rivals, the driving experience and included content simply don't live up to those expectations."
