Just wait until Wal-Mart starts importing them and goes into the car retailing business, I'm sure they will be much improved then.  :D

Probably no such thing as safety standards in China...  but they have all our money now so they can buy some feds to sign off on it.  They can probably pay off Consumer Reports and Car and (import) Driver magazine too.
If it's $cheap$ enough there's idiots that will buy them - that's been proven time and time again.

Oh...my... gawd...   :scared:

My job is inspecting cars that were involved in crashes. Looks like there is ZERO crash-worthiness of that car.
That's it. I'm sticking to big-a$$ American cars & trucks from now on.

People who bungee jump, sky dive, mountain climb, stick their heads in alligators, drive near Boston, or live in Detroit, might buy it & see no difference in the danger levels.

Hey, look at that! It crunches up just like the recycled beer cans it's made from! :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Don't worry, the same people who praise Imports will buy them then brag about the great mileage, quality, etc. and how cheap they are compared to the bad Union made American cars.

Big deal.  It's not like those cut-rate Chinese places are making our food or anything.
