Frankfurt Auto Show – Which Chinese companies will be there?
This piece of news wont be a mega list of Chinese auto makers names, in fact, it will be quite short:
There, if you blinked, or scrolled too fast, you may have missed that list. Have another look to make sure you see it.
Thats right, only 1 car maker from China – plucky Brilliance, is going to show up in Frankfurt and they are taking their BS6, BS4 and the Coupe with them. After much chest beating from the Chinese marques about showing up in Frankfurt under their own banners, most of them have fled from the limelight. Geelys CEO, Li Shu Fu, made a big song and dance about going to Frankfurt auto show, but Geely have quietly backed out of the show. Shuang Huan motors said they were going to show up via with their Little Noble and CEO SUV but seem to have backed out under pressure from Mercedes and BMW over their clone cars.
In the 2005 Frankfurt show, Geely, Brilliance and Jiangling turned up, China Car Times isnt so sure why the Chinese boys are so camera shy this year, are the Euros against the Chinese showing up on their turf, or are the Chinese afraid of the Euros response to their cars? Perhaps both.

Hello Ash, so you allow this Real… to spoil your web with his ever and ever and ever, boring and boring comments, you allow him to use his old offending alias, this is really wrong, Ash, just a repetition of what happened at China Car Forums.
Greetings, Erik.
he’s pure entertainment now. his the epitome of the saying ‘ignorance is bliss’
Erik,
To start with I think he had a valid point. If people egg him on, he continues.
Thread CLOSED.
Now for the answer – who was there.
I was at the first Press Day at Frankfurt.
Brilliance had a spacious stand in a reasonable position, with about 6 or 7 cars on show.
China Automobiles Deutchland had a small display area behind the main stands against an outside wall. They did not display the ShangHuan Noble but did display two examples of the ShangHuan CEO, two examples of the Jonway UFO, and one Gonow double-cab pickup.
Hey Neil,
How did the ShangHuan CEO look? I know the styling is a ripoff of the BMW X5 but how does it fair? I mean, you see a lot of vehicles in China where you can see the donor platform (the Isuzu pickup chassis comes to mind), while the front may resemble a more modern vehicle. I wish there were more specs to compare the two vehicles. An another note, I’m telling you Johnson, arguing with a certain person is like competing in the Special Olympics. It’ll go back and forth, and never end. Maybe I should change my name to I_Hate_Whiners and sing the praises of the Russian automotive industry. UAZ HUNTER OWNZ EVRYBDY! Just kidding
perhaps i too shall change my name to AUSSIE_V8 ^^
