--FILE--Visitors look at a Hongqi (Red Flag) HQD concept car (currently called HQE) of FAW on display at the 11th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, known as Auto Shanghai 2005, in Shanghai, China, 24 April 2005. Chinese automaker FAW said its HQE limousine of the time-honored Hongqi (Red Flag) brand has been designated for official use in the grand military parade in Beijing on National Day, October 1. Jiefang Daily reported. The Red Flag premium sedan was domestically designed and developed by FAW. The famous Chinese sedan was mainly used by Chinas high-ranking officials in the 1950s-1980s. The upcoming national celebrations will restore this official sedan brand to its former glory. Chinese President Hu Jintao is expected to ride in the new HQE limo to inspect a grand military parade across Tiananmen Square in Beijing on October 1, 2009, a special National Day to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. As it is a 100% handmade limo, the HQE costs more than 3 million yuan (US$439, 300).
