With the backing of two US Billionairs, China plans to start dumping cheap SUVs into the US. This, of course by the man who introduced the US to the Yugo - What could go wrong?

i really doubt it'll happen. Its true that the majority will spring for the cheaper cars if they can, but you dont see the Kia Rio taking over the roads

The other thing is that since it's a Chinese knock off of a Korean made GM design (wow, talk about a votex of suck) GM may petition to have imports of it blocked.

The Rover 100 / Metro did particularly badly back in 1998, which I think is the worst on record.

The engine literally enters the passenger compartment and the steering wheel split the test dummy in half at the torso even with the air bag deployed. They said it was the single most dangerous car they've ever tested.

Hmm, a cheap Chinese car from a rabidly liberal billionaire environmentalist? Bill O'Reilly's head is going to explode.
I really hope this doesn't happen. Malcom Bricklin is past his prime, and I doubt there's gonna be anybody who's going to shell out all that money for a cheap Chinese car, just because it's new, when they could just go used and get anything. They're going to be a laughingstock here, from the name Chery (Chevy, cherry) to the goofy looks to the people backing it to the fact that it's made in the same country as your Happy Meal. And just for the record, there ARE some decent Chinese cars out there, like the Brilliance Zhonghua (or is it the other way?): ![]() I've seen them in person, and for a country that hasn't had a steady auto industry and thrives off Buicks and 20-year old Volkswagen Santanas, it's pretty good. 8)

In 10 or 15 years I can see China replacing the Pacific Rim's market segment and the Pac. Rim replacing Japan's segment.

to pass US crash tests it would need to be SERIOUSLY improved, but if it did, I could see it selling.
They need to bring over a dirt cheap RWD coupe. I would buy it. |
