Auto China 2004 : Chang'an Introduces Sturgeon and Dragon

CLICK4 More of the Chang'an and other cars from AutoIndex.org.

Beijing China June 7, 2004; Chang'an Automotive introduced two new concept cars at the Auto China 2004 show in Beijing which marks a radical departure from their existing Suzuki-derived range.

One of them is called the Yangtze River Sturgeon and it is aimed at a future generation MPV.

The other is a sporting roadster, powered by a 3.2-liter V8 engine and it is called the Chinese Dragon.

Snides Remarks: I am impressed with the design and quality look these two concepts have...don't be surprised to see them at dealerships in the U.S. and Europe before long. I can foresee how the Chinese mass production economies will affect the auto industry as they have done to the consumer electronics segment...I think that the Chinese Dragon Sports Car can be a big hit in the "priced out of site " personal transportation market.
