I'm asian,not chinese, but I dont think
I would trust china made cars. My sister bought
me a pair of puma's from china, the thing fall apart
2 days later.
And car looks like alot like the new 3series(e90?) bmw.

LHD in china?

A number of Chinese manufacturers have blatantly ripped off the styling from Japanese, American and European cars recently. It's not like it matters. They do it so they can sell them extremely cheap.

While China is growly very quickly as an automotive market, $25K+ (USD) imported cars won't really be competing with $10K Chinese domestic rip-offs.

Just like everything else made in China, the cars will be complete pieces of shit. I doubt they'll follow the Korean path, and eventually make their cars much higher quality.

Nice to see they included a 4-lug option, maybe put some euro-weaves on there.

I thought China was LHD?? I thought the only countries left that were RHD were Island nations. Japan, Jamaica, U.K. (Ireland, England, Scotland, etc.), Australia, Japan, etc. hm?

There's another Chinese automaker called "China Geely" that just came out with a car that looks EXACTLY like a new Mercedes. The front end is spot on, but the rest of it looks like a Hyundai.

Wow, to both. Especially the benz lookalike. What the hell? What a poor looking pos ripoff LOL

[e30Matt]

You're telling me Pininfarina designed THAT?

Jesus, they're going apeshit.

[Garageaholic]

I wonder what the tails on that white car look like... any shots?

[golde30]

the bmw knockoff one would be a decent car for $20K brand spankin new. the 4-lug is smart as hell, they can run any HONDA specific rim on the market, 90% of which are probably made in china...gotta market to the younger crowd nowadayz.
