And Ford is doing darn well. They just introduced a global Focus that's a very nice car. The ST version has 246 horsepower and should get 30 mpg highway. They've also started exporting Edges to China. That's in addition to the 44,000 cars they built in China last year. Of course GM is doing well also. I believe Buick is the top selling import in China. Paul On Sep 18, 2010, at 5:14 PM, Ken Waller wrote:
