Key to Translation
Auto models 9211, 9222, 9233 are respectively cheap, middle-of-the-range, top-of-the-range products. We launched the three models in the same year of 1992 in order to capture the frll range of the market.
Model 9211, the cheapest, is suitable for family use. There is a ready market in the countryside, too. Sales rise steadily all these years. Although there was a slight drop in 1995, then there was a pickup in the following year.
Model 9222, which is good at carrying goods, is popular among peddlers in towns. In 1992, sales of this model soared and in 1993 and 1994, levelled off. In 1995, sales went up again.
Model 9233, the top-of-the-range product, is very expensive, but very attractively designed. Sales rose in 1993, decreased moderately in 1994 and then grew considerably in 1995 and 1996.
