Detroit News (Detroit News), a local media company in Detroit, wrote a few days ago that automakers around the world are busy, because two major international auto shows opened at the same time in a week, one in Shanghai. The other is in New York at the other end of the globe.

The organizers of the two auto shows have stated that the overlap of the first time held in the history of the auto show is an accident and they will take measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again. It is reported that the 2011 Shanghai International Auto Show will be opened on April 19 (the evening of April 18, US time), and the opening of the New York International Auto Show will be April 20.

Nevertheless, many car manufacturers still attach great importance to both auto shows and expect to release signals of market expansion on two different world stages. In particular, these two stages are located in the world's two largest car markets - - Asia and North America.

Many auto industry experts believe that compared to the New York Auto Show, the Shanghai Auto Show will get more focus of the spotlight, because there are many world premiere car exhibitors, including the new Chevrolet Mai Rui Bao and Volkswagen’s new Beetle These two vehicles are the two leading products of the two companies.

Of course, the Shanghai Auto Show has attracted much attention and benefited from China's huge auto market, which has become the fastest growing market for automakers.

In response, James Bell, chairman of the Press Guild, said: "From this point of view, the New York Auto Show is more like a little brother."
