Top Gear has some hiliarious coverage of the Shanghai Motor Show - it is genuinely funny to hear about razor sharp badges that will slice passers by, or almost complete knock-offs making an appearance. One of the things touched on though is the fact that there was a law which meant you couldn't have a private car in China -and this was only five years ago.
Suddenly, we've got one of the biggest emerging markets doing their own thing and creating a huge wave no doubt. Will it be imports or lots of 'Saggy' (a name of a limo) though? Time will tell but China waking up will no doubt have a huge effect on the automotive market. Maybe not a huge effect in terms of design until there is some history... but economically there are big things coming up in the near future.
