Unfortunately, events postponed the process and the first models will be directly imported from Malaysia which will likely compromise the sales as all imported cars are over-taxed at a 25%. At CNY100,000 RMB\/\u00a36,700 the car is far from being cheap on the Chinese market. Like the Proton model, it is powered by a 112bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Autohome<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/youngman_4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"Youngman_4\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/youngman_4.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/youngman_5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"Youngman_5\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/youngman_5.jpg\"  style=\"float: left;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Chinese car maker has appeared at the Changsha Motor Show located in the Hunan province.
