Five Chinese cars coming to Detroit Auto Show
The North American International Auto Show organizers may have lost Porsche for 2008 but it looks like they have picked up five Chinese manufacturers. Sounds like a reasonable trade doesn’t it? Or not! The Detroit Auto Dealers Association won’t confirm which companies will be displaying their wares, but all the newcomers will all be located in the lower hall that typically is home to suppliers, specialty manufacturers and tuners. The Chinese will also be joined by two ultra-luxury builders who also weren’t identified.
