brand, has revealed details and pictures of its debut model, a seven-seat
people-carrier. Telegraph, May 31, 2010.

My comment: I do not drive, nor do I know anything about cars. Certainly I
do not know what LMM stands for in the Telegraph report. Anyway, automobile
industry is not something Taiwanese can be proud of, which enjoyed
protectionism under teh administrations of Presidents Chiang Kai-shek and
Chiang Ching-kuo.
