Ford Ranger, Teslas Top The List Of ‘Most American’ Cars For 2020
福特Ranger和特斯拉荣登2020年“最美”汽车排行榜的榜首
Perhaps it’s not surprising that in the midst of a national crisis, U.S. consumers are becoming more interested in buying domestic-made products to help bolster the economy. According to a survey conducted by the autos websiteCars.com, nearly 40 percent of consumers say they aremore likelyto buy an American-made car due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with 26 percent feeling it would be "unpatriotic" to buy a non-domestic-built car.
在一场国家危机中,美国消费者对购买国产产品以提振国家经济的兴趣越来越大,这也许并不奇怪。 根据汽车网站Cars.com进行的一项调查显示,大约40%的消费者表示,由于柯新冠肺炎疫情的流行,他们更有可能购买美国制造的汽车,26%的人认为购买非国产汽车是“不爱国”的行为。
But the problem here is that it’s not always clear what is and what is not an “all American” vehicle. Given parts sourcing and the location of assembly plants, a model carrying an Asian-brand badge may actually have more American content and labor involved than a vehicle coming from a Detroit-based automaker.
但这里的问题是,我们并不总是很清楚什么是“全美国”的汽车,什么不是“全美国”的汽车。 考虑到零部件采购和装配厂的位置,一辆带有亚洲品牌徽章的车型实际上可能比一辆来自底特律汽车制造商的汽车更加具有美国特色和劳动力。
To help clear the murky waters in this regard, Cars.com compiles an annual American-Made Index to determine which are the “most American” vehicles sold in the U.S. While the top-20 list is, as one might expect, heavily populated with U.S. branded models—including a trio of Teslas—eight come from Asian automakers. These include the Honda Ridgeline pickup, which is actually rated higher in this regard than what might otherwise be perceived as the poster child for American iron, the Ford F-150.
为了帮助澄清这一方面的问题,Cars.com编制了一份年度美国制造指数,来确定哪些是在美国销售的“最美国”的汽车。正如人们所预料的那样,名单中前20名的汽车充斥着美国品牌的车型,其中包括三款特斯拉, 八款来自亚洲汽车制造商的车,其中又包括本田Ridgeline皮卡,它实际上在这方面的评级高于其他可能被视为美国钢铁侠,福特F-150。

Cars.com studied vehicles from the 2020 model year sourced by 13 automakers and built in 14 states. Their rankings are based on five factors: assembly location, parts sourcing as determined by the American Automobile Labeling Act, U.S. factory employment relative to vehicle production, engine sourcing and transmission sourcing.Not considered are vehicles coming from manufacturers that build fewer than 1,000 models per year, fleet-only cars, and those scheduled to be discontinued after the current model year.
Cars.com研究了由十三家汽车制造商,在十四个州生产的2020年款车型。 他们的排名基于五个因素:组装地点、根据《美国汽车标签法》确定的零部件采购,与汽车生产相关的美国工厂就业、发动机采购和变速器采购。 不考虑来自每年生产少于1000辆车型的制造商的车辆、仅限车队使用的汽车,以及那些计划在当前车型年后停产的车辆。
One catch here is that the labeling act treats Canadian parts and assembly as essentially coming from the U.S., so perhaps it’s more appropriate to treat the list as being the “mostNorth American” vehicles.
这里有一个问题是,《标签法》将加拿大的零部件和组件视基本上都来自美国,因此,将该清单视为“最北美”的车辆更为合适。
