　　How long does it take a 10 million yuan Rolls-Royce sedan to find an owner in Shanghai? Four hours.

　　A Shanghainese bought the limousine just that length of time after the opening of the 2005 Auto Shanghai exhibition, the largest in Asia.

　　A few hours later, another visitor to the auto show bought a Cadillac sedan at the reception desk.

　　Each of the halls was crowded with thousands of people who were elbowing each other for a glimpse of the fastest and most expensive machines. The officials of Porsche , for instance, were stunned by the crowd rushing to ask questions about their new Porch 911 Carrera.

　　Most of the high-end luxury cars on show found buyers here, according to Shanghai’s Oriental Morning Post.
