This condition is reminiscent of the year 2003. At that time, the H5N1 virus took the world, killing over 300 people in the world. Even the exhibit closed two days ahead of schedule. Even in the first three days few come, all wearing masks. Event gray makes manufacturers exhibitors loss.

This time we will discuss the five-car concept that the three of them coming from Japanese manufacturers, represented by Honda, Nissan, and Suzuki, then MG from the UK and Haval H2 new concept that produced in China. Here there are,

The car is expected to look almost the same when it goes into production and the only bit that might not be seen in the production spec car could be the colour change for the roof. The front fascia of the H2 concept has the Haval family look and comes with a big chrome grill that extends all the way into the front bumper. The car gets stylish headlamps that feature LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). The car also gets DRLs below the foglamp units.
9. HONDA AND ACURA CONCEPT
Honda and Acura will show off two concept cars at Shanghai. From the two sketches released by Honda, it looks like both cars have the same base.

Although it’s yet another compact crossover, Acura’s Concept SUV-X may furrow a few brows with its adventurous styling. Perhaps of more note is the fact that it will be Acura’s first concept debut outside North America. This is a model designed for a growing Chinese market; Acura said in a release that the production model would be built and sold there within the next three years.

This mini-minivan is another model aimed straight at the Chinese market. Although its front fascia makes it look like it may want to eat your children, Honda said in a release that it planned to bring a production version of the multi-purpose vehicle to Chinese showrooms next year. Even if it does look a little sinister to be courting family-minded buyers, Honda says it designed the Concept M for maximized interior space and driving fun.
Like other vehicles in the genre, the CS concept is fat-faced and short-bodied, with big wheels and not without some degree of attractiveness. Other than the familiar octagonal MG emblem, not too much about the car is recognizably British. But it isn’t a bad looking car, and it will be interesting to see what it’s made of when MG’s parent company, SAIC, announces the CS concept’s mechanical specifications — and whether or not it will be brought to production.
8. MG CS CONCEPT
While the British car manufacturer, MG Automobile ready to introduce MG Concept CS. as a small SUV for the urban. This model will use the platform and using MG5 turbocharged four-cylinder 1.5-liter engine with 135 HP power. As reported by autoevolution, Tuesday (04/16/2013).

Regardless, Suzuki says that the Authentics concept previews a C-segment vehicle for the Chinese market. A good move, too, since that segment has the highest volume in the Chinese market.

Developed by Nissan Design China, the sedan was shaped with both edgy and flowing lines in mind, and while the design is one the company should be proud of, the main attraction of the car is in the cabin, where the four separate seats share the same technology. This means that each passenger has access to all the information as the driver, including navigation, music or speed, thanks to an "oracle-stone" console.
