  • BAIC (Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co Ltd) is apparently the Maybach of China. The C90L shown in Beijing is powered by a 6-liter V-12, the better to move this 5.2 meters (17 feet) of rolling luxury.

  • Great Wall's Haval E comes complete with the obligatory scissor doors that designers have used to denote concept cars for decades. The Haval E is a small SUV with a 242-hp hybrid motor that Great Wall claims can run on electric only for 50 miles and gets the car from zero to 60 mph in under 8 seconds.

  • In Russia, the Lifan 320 is known as the Lifan Smiley. The car won't likely ever be sold in the U.S. or U.K. markets due to the fact that it blatantly rips off the Mini Cooper's design.

  • The apparent result of a one-night stand between a London taxi and a Bentley EXP 9F, Geely's Englon SC7 is one cartoonish beast. Fresh on the stand this year was a sedan version of the Englon called the SC7-RS, which we can only hope will forever remain a concept car.

  • We'll go ahead and give this one the "Most Likely to Succeed in America" award. Following on the heels of last year's MG6, the MG Icon is a compact SUV from the British brand (now under Chinese ownership) most Americans remember as fun and affordable (if unreliable) sports cars. The Icon captures MG's good qualities, and modernizes them in the form of a potentially serious competitor in the popular small-SUV market. Its design owes its success to the fact that it's from MG's studio in the UK.

  • Forget bumper-to-bumper traffic; Chery's @ant concept illustrates what bumper-IN-bumper traffic might look like. The @ant is basically every car enthusiast's worst nightmare: automobiles that hook together to form chains on the road. Like ants.
