Last year, three of five Bentley cars that were for sale in China, each
priced at USD 1.1 million, were sold. Of the 180 Audi A8 models produced
for worldwide markets, each priced at over USD 200,000, 60 were sold to
China. Other luxury cars such as the BMW760 or the Mercedez S600 have all
been sold in the Chinese market once they became available; at Auto Show
2002 in Shanghai, Bentley displayed their most expensive model, the Mulliner
728. Four Chinese entrepreneurs from Shanghai and neighboring areas have
already expressed intentions of purchasing it.
Since economic development in China lags far behind the Western countries,
the rising demand for luxury cars seems unbelievable. Who are these mysterious
buyers? Auto industry experts think that in recent years, China's policies
have spurred the growth of many privately owned enterprises, most of which
are scattered in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta regions.
The entrepreneurs in these areas form a large community of luxury car owners.
In China, a car is not only a means of transportation but also a status
symbol. Some think this is due to conceit that is entrenched in the Chinese
mentality; and many entrepreneurs have a stronger desire for luxury cars
than their counterparts in the West, thus making China a paradise for luxury
car manufacturers and dealers. Meanwhile, China's automotive service industry,
which is derived from car ownership, is also growing at an amazing rate.
