THE Land Rover, a strong-selling European off-road vehicle, made its Chinese debut in an auto show which opened Sunday in Dongguan.

　　The four-day auto show has an exhibition space of 20,000 square meters, where over 100 models turned out by auto makers from home and abroad are on display, including Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Citroen, Ford and Jaguar.

　　A local branch of China Construction Bank also set up the city’s first individual car-purchasing loans center at the expo, so that buyers could arrange to buy cars on installment on the spot.

　　Dongguan is a booming IT manufacturing center in Guangdong, which is considered to be one of China’s most important economic powerhouses. Automobile products are selling well in the city, where 20 in every 100 households have a car. (Xinhua)
