Shanghai Auto Show: This Year, Guaranteed Safe For Work

 

And here the part you have been waiting for (especially those of our readers who suffer from Yellow Fever): This year's round-up of the show's product specialists. After last year's  excesses at Chinese auto shows, the calls for a more family-oriented posture show disappointing results:  This year, the racy part is mostly left to the choice of cars on display.

At the Acura booth, a daring new ploy to cut through the clutter: Women in street clothes, on stage!

The market test in action: The lady that guards the Acura ZDX in subdued, but elegant attire receives little notice.

A lady in more revealing attire, demonstrating the features of the Acura  SUV-X on the other hand ….

… triggers an enthusiastic response.

This lady demonstrates the features of the Chery QQ.

Geely-owned Volvo attempted to underscore its Swedish heritage. A word of warning: The blonde models at Chinese car shows usually hail from Russia.

This blonde does not resonate. The guys are more interested in the sheet metal.

At Cadillac, a completely dressed product specialist. No crowd magnet.

Eloped from a re-make of "Gone with the Wind," this couple sells vans.

The new face of Red China.

The art of persuasion: You WILL buy this car!

Or maybe we try hypnosis?

And now, our market segmentation study. The D-segment is gaining even more importance in China.

The more attainable C-segment reaches a larger customer group.

TTAC's cross-cultural adviser, Frau Schmitto-san, who by the way is credited with pinpointing the most capable product specialists, demonstrates the importance of the A-Class in a segment that should be a natural choice in most parts of Asia.
