Bentley, the top auto marque from Gods own country, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, seems to be doing quite well out of newly minted Chinese businessmen (or woman)
On the first day of the Chengdu Auto Show (opened last weekend), Bentley managed to flog five motors and Rolls Royce sold a Phantom. So far this year, Bentley sales have overtaken the entire sales figures for 2006, in 2007 Bentley sold 60 motors in Shanghai, 70 motors in Guangzhou, 60 in Beijing and 7 in Shenzhen - thats …

The Kia Sportage is an imported vehicle into the PRC, but according to news reports Dongfeng Kia are planning to put the Sportage into production in China with prices ranging from 160,000rmb to 230,000rmb, we cant confirm the rumors but the lowest model is allegedly a 2.7 4×4 Automatic model which really does sound like a lot of motor for the money. If this is true, then it certainly got China Car Times attention.

The Brilliance coupe is officially on the market as of today and starting at the bargain price of 111,680rmb to 160,950rmb. The 1.8T powered motor can do 0-100kph in 10 seconds and has looks to kill. We doubt Brilliance will have any problems selling these babies over the next 12 months, hopefully improving their share price.

 More information as we get it.
