With each passing year, the Shanghai Motor Show gets more and more important – take that, if you will, as a metaphor for the entire Chinese automotive market as a whole. And while the show’s press events are limited to one single day (on a Saturday, no less), we’ve done our best to bring you our usual obsessive live coverage direct from the show floor.

So as we prepare to board jumbo jets for the long flights back to the US, have a look through our full roundup of Shanghai coverage below.

So pardon us for not oohing and aahing over the Concept G4 that we’re seeing for the first time here in Shanghai. It is, basically, a Mirage sedan. Try to contain your excitement.

Mitsubishi states that it intends to roll out the production version of the G4 Concept globally, powered by a 1.2-liter MIVEC engine mated to a continuously variable transmission that should at least be good for some substantial fuel economy gains. The Mirage, after all, is rated at 37/44 miles per gallon city/highway. We’re also told that the car will be very lightweight, and that this should aid in making this thing not drive like a total dud.
