Luxury Auto Market in China Remains Robust Premium Vehicle (PV) Segment Appears Immune to Market Dynamics         Call Date: Friday, April 27, 2012, 10:00 AM EDT CRG Host: Michael Cohen CRG Expert: William Russo Founder and President Synergistics Ltd. About The Call The Chinese luxury vehicle segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace with Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz commanding more than 70% of market share. That said, after ten years of hyper-growth, the overall PV segment is anticipated to grow more slowly in 2012. As the ranks of Chinese millionaires swell with a cultural preference for high-end goods, will China’s PV market continue to outpace overall vehicle sales?        With our expert, Bill Russo, we’ll evaluate growth rate expectations for theluxury & ultra-luxury PV market. We’ll explore the increasing middle class population and how this group will drive the demand for luxury PVs in next 5 years. We’ll consider Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz’s dominant positions in the segment and the attractive long-term partnerships they offer for luxury dealerships. We’ll appraise news from the Beijing Auto Show and conclude with an outlook for 2012.
