We're not here just to mock the Chinese Automakers for their Engrish press releases and to accept their nice tea sets. We're actually on the floor getting stories. Yesterday, we interviewed one of two American execs we could find for BYD Auto about the Ferrous Battery Powered Dual Mode Hyrbrid. And how do you get a job as an American exec for a Chinese auto company when you can't get a date to the prom? It sort of helps when you're dad is the company's American president. You can also read the story of our unprecedented, world-exclusive test drive with the company's Chairman around the floor of the Detroit Auto Show.
