Chinese Car Makers Struggle to Lure
Buyers
--------------
Chinese brands
are struggling to win Chinese consumers, a trend that appears to have
accelerated in the first quarter. Geely's Hong Kong-listed unit reported sales
of 89,607 vehicles, down about 37%. Warren Buffett-backed BYD Co. sold 103,500
cars in China in the first quarter, a drop of about 28% from the same period the
previous year. Chery Automobile Co. reported a 25% fall to 109,000 vehicles.
With growth slowing, and foreign manufacturers gaining share, many of China's
auto industry players could face extinction.
中國汽車廠商難獲國內購車者青睞
--------------
中國品牌難以贏得中國消費者的芳心,，這個趨勢似乎在第一季度有所加快。吉利在香港上市的子公司宣布一季度銷量為89607輛,，下滑約37%,。巴菲特(Warren
Buffett)投資的比亞迪(BYD Co.)一季度在中國銷量為103500輛，同比下降約28%,。奇瑞汽車有限公司(Chery Automobile
Co.)宣布一季度銷量下滑25%，至109000輛。隨著增長放緩以及外國生產(chǎn)商市場份額擴大,，許多中國本土汽車廠商可能面臨絕境。
