Bootleg Benz FTW!!!

 

Supra Rally car!

 

Wow those cars are ugly.

 

wtf is up with the accordian on the back of the yellow one????

 

china is on the rise.......but not in the auto industry........

 

I love the yellow one...it almost looks like a tiburon that drove through a checker auto parts store's rice isle and eveything stuck to it!

 

Here's the forum for your entertainment.

wow..... how can they get away with the benz and supra rip off?!.... lol :lol:... and that yellow car, i think I just puked a little in my mouth.... yep, definately puke. :shock:

 

they will be here in 2007... Malcolm Bricklin is the one bringing them here. Anyone ever hear of Subaru? another bit of Malcolm Bricklin's handywork. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=104800

I can't wait, though I hate to think what a $3900 NEW car is going to do to the US auto industry... things will change, all cause of those silly looking cars that will cost about 1/2 of what THE cheapest car you can currently buy in the US today costs.

Honestly, I think it will be a change for the better. Any company who wishes to remain competitive in the American auto market will have to actually JUSTIFY the price that they charge for their products. That is, of course, assuming that the Chinese cars are built with the least little inkling of quality. I hope that they are.

 

and FYI, the Benz fake is a W124 - almost an exact copy. they also copy the latest generation International GM J-body - probably has some parts on there they would bolt right up to a 9-3 :lol:

 

Wow, that will be amazing. gas for a year will cost more than a new car every year!

 

well, from the crashtest results of their SUV, they are not built for quality, they are built for low production cost.

The results of the German ADAC test which is comparable to European NCAP safety standards in areas of passanger cabin protection was ZERO out of 5. It was so bad that even airbags were deemed useless. The passenger cabin completely collapsed on collision.

and the video- http://paultan.org/archives/2005/10/07/jiangling-landwind-x6-crash-test-passenger-cabin/

they are clearly not quality or built for crashing, but they are cheap! I agree by and large Asian cars are no good. it was only recently (past 15 years) that any of them could get into a serious crash and not kill both occupants... I think these Chinese cars could potentially be good cars that people who are not poor would want to drive.

30 years from now.

 

That forum should be called "guess what car this design was ripped from"

Some of them looked more original than others. Also, some looked as though they had some very low fit/finish quaility :-?

 

I wish Hong Kong would start building cars. I'm sure they could at least rival the Koreans if not the Japanese. I don't know, mainlanders are just weird and love to bootleg everything. (we Hong Kong people bootleg too, but not nearly as much)

 

That yellow car has a grundle!

 

When your in China and you have to worry about people on bicycles passing you on the double lane roads - who cares about crash tests? I think the US will be the next Autobahn wakeup for these Chineese cars.

 

Uhh, I pass people in gig harbor on my bike on double lane roads.. I cant figure out why these people are on the road at all, because they sure arn't in a hurry.

 

That forum has a "stock trading" section.


Wow.

 

Aren't the Chinese cars called Cherys?

I saw a bunch of them in Aruba and figured they were bootleg Chevys, until I got to an internet connection that is.

 

Ha ha, the look on the mechanic's face when a young lady brings in her car and says "Some guy rammed me and broke my Chery".

Ok, bad taste. But if I didn't say it someone else would have!

 

That Landwind x6 looks like my old neighbors mid 90s Isuzu Rodeo :lol:
