China Dolls; Fearless prediction: Shanghai will be the auto show in less than a decade.(News)
Byline: Roger Hart, Wes Raynal
You could argue that the 2007 Shanghai motor show at the Shanghai New International Expo Center offered little in terms of products for the United States anytime soon. And you could entertain another argument: that the 12th International Automobile and Manufacturing Technology Exhibition-its official name-was the most important international gathering of the year. Both arguments are valid.
China is the slumbering (and waking quickly) giant in the automotive world, for both manufacturing and consumption. Estimates are that its billion-plus population will surpass the United States as the world's largest car market within 10 years. This is why BMW picked Shanghai to unveil a new design language and why Audi divulged its newest small crossover there. General Motors showed a couple of new Buicks-a concept Riviera and a production Park Avenue-and more than a handful of China's domestic cars looked ready to compete on the world stage.
This giant is not just waking. It's ready to run a marathon.
