The volcanic ash hovering over Europe might have curtailed some Western exhibitors' plans to visit the 2010 Beijing motor show, but that didn't stop the event from being hailed as a new massive global success.
Not only were key cars unveiled by recognized Western carmakers but there were a number of increasingly convincing models displayed by Chinese manufacturers.
China officially became the largest car market in the world in 2009 -- and not just through massive sales of low-budget transport.
The country is now Audi's second biggest market and the third most vital for Bentley. No surprise then that both marques chose this year's Beijing event -- formally known as Auto China 2010 and held between April 23 to May 2 across a whopping 200,000 sq m exhibition space -- to commence significant models.
