At least four Chinese automakers are expected to take display space at
the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, US media
reported.
In January 2006, China's Geely Automobile made debut by a Chinese
carmaker at the US auto show. It exhibited a $10,000 small sedan to
reporters only in a booth outside the show's main hall. This year, Geely
will come back.

Moreover, three other companies, including Hunan Chang Feng Group, Great
Wall Motor Company and Hebei Zhongxing Automobile Company, are also in
talks for display space in Cobo Hall of the January 2007 show, said the
Detroit News.
US show officials said it's a prelude for the entry of Chinese-made cars
to the United States.
Though still a small player compared to the world's biggest auto
manufacturers, Chinese carmakers are considering measures to boost their
overseas sales.
The Chinese government also hope that automobiles will become an
increasingly important component of the country's exports, according to
earlier report.
Geely, the Chinese mainland's largest private automaker, last year sold
about 7,000 sedans in more than 30 countries and regions, mostly in the
Middle East, Africa and Central America. It announced plans to begin
exporting cars to the US mainland in 2008.
Zhongxing wants to sell 40,000 vehicles in the United States annually
starting next year, including a pickup and an SUV.
The Chery Automobile, an independent Chinese carmaker based in East
China's Anhui Province, hopes to enter the US market in 2008, the
newspaper said.
