英語資源頻道為大家整理的china daily 雙語新聞：中國人愛豪華車 汽車商大獲其利，供大家閱讀參考。
China is cementing its reputation as the most important market for the auto industry. Chinese auto sales are up 13 percent from a year ago -- with sales expected to top 20 million this year. By comparison, total sales in the United States this year are forecast at just a little more than 15 million vehicles. The importance of the Chinese market is reflected in the size and sophistication of the Shanghai auto show, where automakers are capitalizing on China's growing demand for luxury cars and SUV's.

Ford Motors' Dave Schoch is counting on it. "So you've got 30 million customers out there, all with different tastes and different affordability levels. And what Ford wants to do is bring the power and leverage of our global line-up, you know from small to medium to large, into China," Schoch said.

中國人把汽車視為成功的標(biāo)志。汽車前景預(yù)測分析師張耶魯說，對高檔車與豪華車需求的增長表明中國作為一個經(jīng)濟強國的崛起。
"This market is becoming more like European or American style entry-level premium like Mercedes C-class or BMW-3 series. This kind of entry-level premium is growing very fast," Zhang said.

“寶馬是終極駕駛機器，你坐在后座上也可以同司機一樣有很多體驗，所以你需要更多空間，希望有在汽車上工作的可能性。”
