Also in Beijing, there are product specialists who explain technical features of each car. They will do that in Chinese, or, if they are blond, in Russian. Here is a comprehensive pictorial of the most capable product specialists of the Beijing Auto Show.

And now: Can you spot the car?

“My company is not the battery maker in China. We are known as the specialist in Kei cars. This is a range extended version of a car that is very popular in India.”

“My company was in trouble. Then two brothers from India saved us. We don’t have many new cars at the moment, but we have a great team.”

“Meet the team.”

“More enthusiastic team members.”

“My company got into hot water. They said we copied a Ford truck. Then they put our booth next to Ford. We have to make it up with enthusiasm.”

“We assure you: Nothing fake here. All real.”

“Company from France. Car from Korea. Specialist from China.”

“Where can we get coffee?”

“We are receptionists. May we help you?”

“My company has the same name as a machine gun.”

“You probably never heard of my company.”

“I assist members of the media with their reporting.”

“What can I assist you with today?”

“My company’s name starts with a ‘Gee!'”

“Get out of our dressing room, pervert!”

“We have product that is usually in short supply in China.”

“My company is from Japan. People say they lost touch. Not true!”

“We run a special today: Two cultures for the price of one!”

“We work for a family-oriented company.”

  • Analoggrotto Ford wishes it could be Hyundai Kia Genesis.
  • John I used to have a 2016 Chevy Spark EV (leased, 85 miles range when new) as our family's 3rd car. Loved it. When the lease ended the only cheap EV was the bolt but I couldn't stomach the tuperware interior so I bought a used Cayman instead and have been waiting now for another a cheap EV for almost 5 years. My bigger problem would be that I dislike giving Elon Musk even more $$, but the tesla supercharger network makes long trips (within CA at least) an option.
  • SCE to AUX "...it’s unclear how Ford plans to reach profitability with cheaper vehicles, as it’s slowed investments in new factories and other related areas"Exactly. They need to show us their Gigafactories that will support the high-demand affordable EV volume.
  • 1995 SC I have a "Hooptie" EV. Affordable would be a step up.
  • Buickman if they name it "Recall" there will already be Brand Awareness!
