Brilliance A1: Chinese get ready to invade Europe with a Golf-sized hatch
This is the first photo of Briliance' C-Segment hatch that'll make its official debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in a couple of days. Brilliance, which has already started sales of its Giugiaro designed BS6 large sedan in several European countries (including the continents biggest market, Germany), aims at going international with the new A1. Although info is scarce for the moment, we did manage to find a thing or two on the A1 in Brilliance's Chinese site. According to company, the A1 is based on a new platform with the wheelbase measuring at 2.600 mm / 102-inches (roughly the same as the VW Golf). Production of the A1 is set to start in September with sales starting in China soon after. While Europe will probably see the car by late 2008 there's no word on whether Brilliance is also eyeing the American market. Pic via: blog.sina , Info: Brilliance
