THE 7 BEST SALOONS YOU CAN BUY RIGHT NOW
標題：你現在能買到的最好的七輛中型房車
Although SUVs have become the shape of choice for most new car buyers
recently, family saloons are still a practical and good-looking choice of
car. They're large, safe, well-equipped and still have enough engineering
left over to make them genuinely fun to drive.
In the UK, we used to worship the Ford Mondeo as the affordable saloon king,
but over time the popularity of German saloon cars has exploded to a point
where they're now fully dominating the sector.
Can the Brits, Italians and Swedes make a comeback in the near future? Take a
squint over our list and tell us which of these cars would be your saloon of
choice.
BMW 3 SERIES

It took over from the Ford Mondeo in the mid-2000s as the standard saloon of
choice and it hasn't really let go of that title ever since. Of course, the
fire-breathing M3 has always been a stand-out model from the range but the
standard 3 Series still shares the fundamental greatness of the performance
legend.
它在2000年代中期從Ford Mondeo 手中搶走了標準房車的標竿，從那以後它就沒有
讓這個頭銜真正溜走過。當然，連排氣都會噴火的M3 一直是該級距中最出色的，
但一般3 series 仍然擁有著M3 其傳奇性能的基本強大之處。
With countless engine, trim and tech options, the 3 Series will probably rule
the roost for a few years to come, until one of the other cars on this list
decides to step up its game.
憑藉著無數的引擎、裝飾和科技選配，3 series 可能會在未來幾年內支配一切，
直到在此名單中的某款車決定努力改善其表現。
AUDI A4

If you want tech, the Audi A4 is in a class of its own. Especially if you
spec it with Audi's 'Virtual Cockpit', the A4 will make you feel like you're
driving a car from the next decade.
如果你想要科技，Audi A4 無人能及。 特別是如果你用的是Audi 的“虛擬駕駛艙”，
A4 將讓你感覺自己駕駛的是下一個世代的車。
It may not be the prettiest saloon car and it won't be the most engaging to
drive, but if build quality and gadgets are your thing, the A4 makes a damn
good argument for itself.
它可能不是最漂亮的房車，駕駛感也可能不是最吸引人的，但如果你對品質與配件感興趣
，那麼A4 該死的太棒了!
JAGUAR XE

It's a bit of an underdog against the likes of Audi and BMW, but the little
Jag is one of the best driving cars on this list. Designed by the same man
that penned the Aston Martin DB9, the XE is a real head-turner in a world
full of fairly mundane motorway sloggers.
對於Audi 和BMW 這樣的車型來說，這顯得有些劣勢，但小捷豹是這個名單上駕駛感最好
的車之一。Aston Martin DB9 設計師所設計的XE，在充滿著平凡公路車的世界裡，
它的回頭率超高。
If you want to turn up to a business meeting or a wedding in something that
has much more of a personality than a VW Passat, the baby Jag is a decent
place to start.
如果你要參加商務會議或婚禮，又想顯得比VW Passat 更有個性，那麼小捷豹是一個
蠻像樣的初選。
ALFA ROMEO GIULIA

First of all, it's Italian. Second, it's very, very pretty. And does anything
else really matter after that?
首先，它來自義大利。 其次，它非常非常漂亮。
還有什麼真的比這更重要的呢？
Alfa Romeo has made a serious comeback with this saloon car which forms a
baseline for the company along with the Stelvio SUV. It may not have the fit
and finish of its German rivals but the Giulia has to be one of the most
exciting cars in the saloon sector, especially when it has model names like
'Veloce' and 'Quadrifoglio'.
Alfa Romeo 憑藉著這款四門房車與Stelvio SUV 形成的基準正認真的東山再起。
它可能沒有其德國競爭對手那樣的合宜與完整度，但Giulia 必是房車領域中
最令人興奮的汽車之一，特別是當它有車款名叫'Veloce' 和'Quadrifoglio' 時。
SKODA SUPERB

Skoda has been a contender in multiple industry sectors for a good few years
now, and who can argue when they're fairly priced, reliable and as well built
as other VW products.
Skoda 幾年來一直是多個級距的競爭者，而且誰能反對他們就像其他VW 產品一樣
價格合理、可靠呢？
The latest Superb is a bit of a looker when compared to its Audi and VW
brothers and sisters, and with a five-star safety rating, it might just be
the perfect family saloon car on sale. And it's time that we all agreed that
driving a Skoda is now officially cool.
與其Audi 和VW 兄弟姐妹相比，最新的Superb 是一款外觀不錯，並且具有5星安全等級，
在特價拍賣時它是一款完美的家用房車。
PEUGEOT 508
https://i.imgur.com/AOCFw7M.jpg
A newbie to the saloon game, the Peugeot 508 brings back whiffs of the
company's successful saloon car past thanks to a striking design and dynamics
that put it on the map against the big boys.
房車級距的新手，Peugeot 508 重拾了過去一些成功房車的氣息，這要歸功於一種
引人注目的設計，而且其動力讓它足以與大腕們對抗。
It may struggle to get in the limelight against the Germans, but much like
the Alfa and the Jag, it may pay to be just that little bit different for
once.
VOLVO S60
https://i.imgur.com/qC1rREM.jpg
I wouldn't go as far as to say that the S60 is a pretty car but it does give
off that 'handsome brute' vibe. As with all Volvos, you can expect a cracking
safety record, incredible levels of comfort and plenty of room for activities
inside.
我不會說S60 是一款漂亮的車，但它確實散發出那種“帥氣的野蠻”氛圍。
與所有Volvo 一樣，你可以期待他有出色的安全性，令人難以置信的舒適度以及
充足的活動空間。
It may thrive on motorways rather than your favourite twisting country lane
but for 98% of your driving lifestyle, the Scandinavian should have you
pretty much covered.
心得/說明：
寫這篇文章的人叫做Mike Fernie，看起來是個英國人
他的FB 上寫他來自於愛丁堡
從他的文章看來，他應該是個BMW粉
3 series 是很好沒錯，但Benz 對標的C class 一點都沒提到太奇怪了 XD
(連冷門的508、沒什麼特色的S60 都提到了)
除了這七輛與C class 這些之外，還有沒有哪輛是極好但他漏掉的房車呢？
