一.艰难的历程 法国雷诺公司的Espace MPV车,是目前中国市场引人注目的多用途乘用车(MPV)的欧洲始作俑者。但在1984年中期刚刚推向市场时,还只是不为人们问津的灰姑娘。尽管雷诺公司为开发这一新款式车下了很大赌注,这种塑料车身、镀锌钢材车架、造型介于厢式车和轿车之间的车型似乎当时并未在欧洲引起轰动。在1984年7月仅售出了9辆。可以说欧洲的MPV车在其刚刚诞生之际就险遭夭折。 经过十年的艰难历程,到九十年代中期,才达到美国八十年代的销售水 I. Tough journey The Espace MPV car from Renault in France is the European initiator of the compelling multi-purpose passenger car (MPV) in China. However, when it was first introduced to the market in mid-1984, it was only Cinderella who did not pay much attention to people. Although Renault made a big bet to develop the new model, the plastic body, galvanized steel frame and the styling between the van and the sedan did not seem to have caused any sensation in Europe at the time. In July 1984, only 9 cars were sold. It can be said that the European MPV car died just as it was born. After a decade of hardships, it was only in the mid-1990s that sales water in the United States reached the 1980s
