Detroit Auto Show: Tang Hua Book of Songs Has a Funny Shape [Detroit Auto Show]

Tang Hua is one of those Chinese companies in the basement that is unabashedly pitching its bizarre wares at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The terrible trio of yellow fiberglass and awesome lined up in their stand made us want to love the upstart manufacturer - in that way. Travis couldn't restrain himself. We're not going to say anything unseemly, but if you look at the profile of the 'Book of Songs' upside down, it may look a little, um, suggestive. The etched plexiglass information kiosk is in the gallery if you want to know details on the little electric car. We'll take a closer look at another of their offerings shortly.

Detroit Auto Show: Amphibious Tang Hua Detroit Fish [Detroit Auto Show]

Detroit Auto Show: Amphibious Tang Hua Detroit Fish [Detroit Auto Show]

We practiced our love with the Tang Hua Book of Songs earlier, and now for the less phallic, more idiosyncratic Tang Hua Detroit Fish. 'Detroit Fish' would be an odd name for a car if it weren't for the fact that this fish can evidently swim. Yes indeed, this is the only amphibious crossover at the Detroit Auto Show. While this might not be the most popular segment at the moment, Tang Hua's marketing team has an ingenious strategy - sell one to President George W. Bush for use on his Texas ranch. Tang Hua wants the renowned environmentalist to help kick start its US product blitz with some top notch product placement.
