Putting the world CHINA and CAR in the same sentence sends a chill down my spine.
Surely no one is stupid enough to buy one……..are they?

Three dim sim and a Geely hifun pwease, with sauce.

The West buys all sorts of cheap Chinese made crap, so they are understandably puzzled when we won’t buy their death trap “cars”.

But hell, don’t they have a big enough potential customer base at home, no need for export.

If Australia had 1bn+ people, even Falcon would sell a few.

THe chinese have to make hybrids to make up for all the horrendous industrial polution the cause in their manufacturing.

I believe all governments should put pressure on the Chinese to cleanup their act, if they don’t then we should prevent them bullying their way into mass production markets. I for one object to the way that nearly everthing we buy is made in China at the expense of our own local manufacturing industries.

Go to youtube and search “Chinese Crash Test”. There is some video evidence there that suggests that Chinese cars don’t crash too well.

Give the Epica some credit, it doesn’t look anywhere as bad as this piece of junk. Chinese cars are very unsafe and they should keep them in their own backyard…

No Duck…. Holden have just become lazy, that’s why they rebadge Daewoos!!!

So if we reward them by buying the stuff then they will just continue serving it up.

That’s right Duck, Chinese companys love to copy designs off other companys.
