Early this year, Business Week's Asian edition selected the ten most outstanding new products for 1998. Included in this list of products were the new NT $ 80,000 MCR Racer composite-fiber bike made by Giant Manufacturing Co. of Taiwan, a new model of car made by Porche and Intel's 2nd generation Pentium CPU. The Taiwan bicycle industry showed once again that Taiwan does not enjoy the label "bicycle kingdom" for nothing.
今年初美國「商業週刊」亞洲版，選出一九九八年十大最佳新上市商品，台灣巨大機械工業公司所生產、市價八萬元的捷安特一體成型碳纖維賽車，和保時捷新改款的跑車、英特爾新推出的奔騰二代中央處理器等熱門商品同時名列榜上。
