Interior Motives China Conference to explore new design directions

Chinese consumers are driving new design directions, and CDN's Interior Motives China Conference in Beijing next week is set to explore how. Titled ‘New brands and the search for a design identity', the conference features an impressive speaker line-up that blends the international (Chris Bangle and VW's Wolfgang Muller Pietralla) with the regional (GM PATAC's Friedhelm Engler, Ford China's Chelsia Lau and PSA-Peugeot/Citroën China's Robert Walker), with the domestic (Shan Wei of the Beijing Automotive Technical Center (BATC), and Ken Ma of SAIC). The annual conference is the third in China to be hosted by CDN's magazine Interior Motives, and will be held on Wednesday 21 April, and Thursday 22 April, just in advance of the opening of Auto China 2010 in Beijing on Friday (23 April).

Jeremy Clarkson loves BMW. Especially the 535d & BMW 1M Coupe

BMW 1M Coupe - the most fun car of 2011 Jeremy Clarkson hasn’t had the easiest of relationships with BMW. He hated the first BMW X3 (didn’t we all), he thinks anyone with a brain would buy a 5-Series and ignore the X5, the BMW SatNav is only good for directions to Poland and he thought only knobs drive a Beemer. But he has decided the knobs all drive Audi’s now and has declared the M3 the benchmark for all performance cars.

So which is your greatest performance car?

CAR took eight of 2010's best sports cars to France to test for the best in our Performance Car Of The Year test. After six days, 2500 miles and much toil (honestly), we anointed the Ferrari 458 Italia as the finest performance car of last year. But do you agree with the result?
