How 'bout the computer you're typing on right now?

Not to be inflammatory... it's just worth considering that Chinese auto production isn't the sea change many seem to think it is.]]>Apr 20th 2008 12:29AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/
Looks impressive :)]]>Apr 19th 2008 8:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 8:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 8:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/
god if this were branded into a subaru and had awd i'd be out buying 3 right now :(]]>Apr 19th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/You need to get a better monitor. A Forester? You have to be kidding me.]]>Apr 19th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 8:53AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://goodcarbadcar.blogspot.com/2008/04/audi-booms-in-china-russia.html) next year. Makes a lot of sense to debut the Q5 in a country where Audi's loved but also where sedans are predominant. What does this say about Detroit, Paris/Frankfurt in say, 2012? You gots to sell to the peoples. The peoples are in China. Chicago, LA, Detroit look like perfect debut cities for the next Malibu, Silverado, and Explorer. Paris looks good for the next Megane. Beijing may see the 3-series and F430 replacement. Makes sense?]]>Apr 19th 2008 9:03AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/
Interestingly, it's really odd that to see an 'official photo' of a new vehicle, and especially an SUV without deeply tinted windows.]]>Apr 19th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/

I can only presume not sharing parts with VW models is a good thing. That's one of the things that always bugged me about the older A4-that it was a Passat in drag.]]>Apr 19th 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing-motor-show-officially-official/Apr 19th 2008 11:18AM
