The SouEast V3 concept car that was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show has finally been given a name, 菱悦 - Ling Yue, which means something along the lines of a pleasing water chestnut. We hope the English name is much more interesting!
The Ling Yue is expected to go on the market in September 2008, although pricing is currently unannounced, China Car Times can guess it will be in the 80,000rmb region, making it in a perfect position to target the exteremly popular Brilliance BS.
Engine wise, the SouEast will be borrowing technology from its famous partner, Mitsubishi, in the form of a 1.5l MIVEC engine (4G15S)

SouEast Autos, the joint venture partner of Mitsubishi in China, have a secret car in production according to these photos:
Could it be a slightly nipped and tucked version of the Mitsubishi Lancer?
Dodge are aiming to get the Chinese made Caravan ready for Q4 sales in 2007. Dodge have teamed up with SouEast motors to get the domestically made Caravan out on to the roads to rival the Buick GL8’s long standing dominance over the luxury business MPV sector.
The older generation caravans have been available in China for some time but this is the first time it has been made here, pricing is expected to be much lower than the imported version.
SouEast is taking over production of Dodge vehicles in China and aims to have 60 Dodge dealers set up by the end of year. Now that Dodge is hear in China, Chrysler can rest happy knowing that it might actually make a decent profit now 3 of its big brands are here.

Dodge is teaming up with SouEast Motors (no typo on that name) to bring the Dodge Caliber, and the Dodge Caravan to China. SouEast will also be producing several Dodge models for Dodges China line up, although it is unclear which. Dodge hope to have 60 or more dealers in China by the end of the year. The Chinese appetite for the American automobile is not likely to be quenched anytime soon - GM are making more money in China than they are in their home country. The Chery-Dodge probably wont be affected, several Japanese/Western marks have joint ventures with two or more Chinese partners.
