中國自主品牌汽車銷量持續走低

今年上半年中國自主品牌乘用車共銷售315.11萬輛，同比下滑0.2%；同時，其占乘用車銷售總量的四成一，占有率同比下降3個百分點。

Beijing (CNS) -- Sales of Chinese auto brands hit 3,151,100 in the first half of 2012, down 0.2 percent, accounting for one quarter of total domestic auto sales, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) on Thursday.

Sales of domestic brands declined month by month and reached the lowest point in June, said the CAAM.

An increasing number of consumers favor imported cars, said an expert from the State Information Center of China.
