Photos: Concept cars in China

China isn't building all those highways around Beijing--and in the rest of the country--for nothing. Economic growth in the country is putting more cars on the road and raising the profile of China's automakers around the world. One place to see the latest designs for Chinese consumers and for the export market is the Beijing Automotive Exhibition, which kicked off over the weekend.

One concept car unveiled at the show was the Volkswagen Neeza. Designed for the Chinese market, it could be in production by the end of the decade, according the Edmunds.com blog Inside Lines. Other details of the coupe-wagon hybrid, courtesy of Automotoportal.com, are that the front seats swivel, the roof is all-glass, and "a 'Magic Box' serves as an interface for radio and navigation systems, mobile phone, personal organiser and other devices."
