Daihatsu Motor Co. Skip Shanghai Motor Show

Daihatsu Motor Co. has decided not to participate in this year's Shanghai International Motor Show, which will be held next month.

In addition to its slow entry into the Chinese market, the firm's growing emphasis on costs versus benefits contributed to the decision. It participated in the 2007 event, but has sold only 500 units a month of its Xenia subcompact, which was released in China that year.

The Shanghai Motor Show is held every other year. The 2009 edition will run from April 22-28, with the exhibit area expanded 20 per cent from the 2007 show.

2010 Hyundai Equus

EQUUS comes with a choice of two sophisticated engines: The ‘Lambda' 3.8 V6 and the award-winning ‘Tau' 4.6 V8. To maximise power while minimising emissions and fuel consumption, both engines feature all-aluminium construction, continuously variable valve timing, variable air induction systems and are mated to six-speed transmissions. The ‘Lambda' V6, good for 213 kW and a peak torque rating of 358 Nm, delivers an impressive fuel economy rating of 10.8 litres / 100 km. The ‘Tau' 4.6 V8, named by Detroit-based Ward's Autos as one of 2009's ‘Best Ten Engines', delivers 269 kW and 439 Nm of torque with a fuel economy rating of 11.4 litres / 100 km.
