Honda Teases Two New Concepts For 2012 Beijing Auto Show

Hmmm.... is this a concept drawing of the next gen Honda Accord????
Honda has announced it will unveil two new concept cars at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show taking place later this month.

The automaker states that the concepts are a preview for models focused on Chinese customers and that their Beijing appearance will be their official world premiere.

Along with the announcement, Honda released these two teaser sketches which show the outline of a sedan and a hatchback.

Comparing the sketches with previously revealed concept and production models from Honda, it’s likely that the sedan concept is a preview of the Chinese market 2013 Honda Accord, which Honda has already previewed with a coupe concept in U.S. specification at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

The hatchback concept, meanwhile, appears to share many lines with the European market Honda Civic and is likely to be a preview of the Chinese version.

No other details have been released so we’ll have to wait until the 2012 Beijing Auto Show’s April 23 opening day.

Sharing Honda’s stand at the show will be the CR-Z, Insight and Fit Hybrid, while the upmarket Acura division will be showing off the NSX supercar concept and new ILX and RDX models.

Honda has also confirmed that the new Acura NSX will be sold in China once the car is launched in around three years, while the upcoming RLX flagship sedan will launch next year.

Police in China changes Mercedes-Benz ML350 into Honda CR-V

You've gotta be kidding me....
Police in the good city of Fengchenggang in Guangxi Province re-badged their Mercedes-Benz ML350 into a Honda CR-V. There is a lot of criticism in China lately about local governments who waste taxpayers money. Police in Fengchanggang so made some changes to their 900.000 yuan ML350, a Honda CR-V only costs 200.000 yuan.

But the plan went wrong. Citizens of Fengchenggang were not to be fooled and posted pics of the Benz CR-V on the internet where ‘netizens’ had a field day ridiculing the local government as hard as they could. Best part: the police flatly denied they made any changes to their car. I guess it depends on what you call a ‘change’…
