Japan's small-car firms are defying the industry'sget-big-or-die imperative
日本的小厂商们正在与“要么大，要么死”这一条金科玉律抗争
ONE of the conundrums of the car busine is thatfive smaller Japanese firms continue to prosper alongside three giants, Toyota, Nian andHonda.In theory, those in the second division—Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Subaru—shouldlong ago have merged with rivals at home or abroad, or fallen by the wayside.Daihatsu isalready controlled by Toyota, which has a 51% stake in the firm.They all sell 1m-2m vehicles ayear.Sergio Marchionne, bo of Fiat Chrysler, once said that 6m was the minimum required forcarmakers to have a hope of turning a profit.目前，汽车产业里有着这样一个费解的情况：在三大巨头(丰田Toyota、日产Nian和本田Honda)的身旁，五家较小的日本公司能够持续地取得出色业绩。理论上来说，这些

prospect.马自达汽车，作为一家与铃木相比规模更小的公司，欣然地脱离了福特汽车(Ford)的怀抱。为了筹措现金和避免破产，福特汽车公司在2008年开始逐步抛售所拥有的马自达汽车股份。这两家公司从1979年开始就成为了合作伙伴。而与此同时据报道称，作为富士重工(Fuji Heavy Industries)集团的一份子，斯巴鲁汽车正对丰田公司(全球最大的制造商)所拥有的该公司16.5%的股份表示不满。对于与三大巨头联合的小规模制造商来说，那个“显而易见”的脱困方案，现在反倒成了一份“遥远的期待”。
It helps that all are making generous profits after years of loes.A weaker currency meansthey are well-nigh printing money, notes Max Warburton of Sanford C.Bernstein, an equity-research firm.Subaru and Mazda, the biggest exporters among the five, are enjoying recordsales in North America.Subaru now outsells VW there.The Japanese small-fry are also moreprofitable than most firms in the industry.在长年累月的亏损期过后，目前这些制造商正赚着十分可观的利润，而这确实能让他们缓一口气。来自证券分析公司斯坦福·伯恩斯坦(Sanford C.Bernstein)的Max Warburton表示，日元的走弱差不多等同于日本车商正全力发动马达印制钞票。斯巴鲁和马自达是五家公司里出口贸易量最大的两家，他们在北美市场的销售量取得了纪录新高。现在斯巴鲁在当地的销量还超过了德国大众。同时，这些日本

产销售方面享受到了长期的税收减免优惠。“轻型”车受到广大女性群体和长者们的欢迎，目前这些迷你轿车和迷你货车的销售量已经占了日本新车市场的五分之二。虽然日产和本田也在生产“轻型”车，但那较小的三家制造商要比两大巨头更为依赖“轻型”车。
The government now seems to have heeded the warnings of the largest carmakers, that makingkei cars diverts attention and funds from the development of models with export potential.Adecision earlier this year to raise taxes on the category bodes ill for their manufacturers.WhileSubaru and Mazda are succeful outside Japan, and Suzuki is envied for making big profitelling small cars, the weakest of the second tier may soon face fresh difficulties.现在，日本政府似乎已经注意到了汽车巨头们的警告，后者认为大力制造“轻型”车，会减少在其他具有出口潜力车型的开发方面所需的精力和资金投入。今年早些时候日本政府决定提高“轻型”车的税率，这也预示着生产该车型的厂商前景趋于黯淡。当斯巴鲁和马自达在海外市场大获成功之时，铃木汽车旗下“轻型”车的巨额利润也同样令人眼红。然而，这
