Hmm, so I was reading that an automaker from China is coming into United States later this year, what do you guys think of these cars, pricewise supposedly that pickup is going to be 8k with leather, looks like a Toyota Tundra look alike though

I love the crash-testing vids that are floating around you-tube of these cars.

If these are the cars that they are thinking of bringing here I think that they have some more work to do. Would I buy one, nope.

 

Yep the Chinese are coming. Wonder if they'll sell them at Walmart.

This reminds me of when the Korean cars first started showing up. They were junk, but they sold a lot because of their low prices. People laughed at those junk Korean cars. I think he Korean auto mfg are laughing now. All the way to the bank. It will take time, but the Chinese cars will take a foothold here.

 

Is'nt this car the old Rover. The Chines bought the remainder of the Rover car company.

 

Its a shame.

Hopefully the Chinese will make the US manufacturers shape up a bit.

Ive lost just about all hope for the US auto companies. I no longer support them in their ******** ventures with things like HUGE SUV's and such. I don't mind the smaller ones, or pickups, but trucks like the Escalade, Tahoe, H2 and H3 Hummers, they deserve what they are getting.

I would rather see Honda in front of Toyota as far as US sales go. I have never liked Toyota products.

 

Whoa!! So pretty much if you get in a wreck in one of these you're dead.

 

I want to lick a chinese car.

 

is it just me or does the CHAMCO pickup look like a toyota tundra

 

What, you mean your head is not supposed to flop around like that in the side impact test?

The car performs like it has no B-pillar.

 

welcome to the world of chinese cars...

remember the koreans started out with similar styles initially, didn't they? now they are on the cutting edge, same as the japanese before them... don't forget, all manufacturers of cars has to start out somewhere

being chinese also means i got some sense of pride to these cars

 

give it time. soon they'll be mass-producing in numbers that make the other companies look like they're making one a day. then again....with that many cars out there that crunch like that, a 3 car pileup of chinese cars will be like a jigsaw puzzle

 

Some Chinese outfit bought MG, and renamed it "Modern Gentleman." Rumor was that they're going to produce it in the US. MG is dead, gone, and joined the other great British marques like Austin-Healey, Jensen-Healey, in the great autoyard in the sky.

Whatever this Chinese company produces, it will never, ever be an MG.

 

Off the top of my head - the following British Car Companies are no more.

- Austin
- Morris
- MG
- Riley
- Wolseley
- Autovia
- Hillman
- Humber
- Jensen
- Reliant
- Riley
- Talbot and/or Sunbeam-Talbot
- Standard, Triumph or Standard-Triumph
- Singer
- Sterling
- Rootes
- Vanden-Plas
- Rover
- TVR

You might want to add to the list Jaguar (Ford), Land Rover(FORD), Bentley(VW), Rolls Royce(BMW), Lotus(Proton) and many others that have just become marketing 'brands' - should he be adding 'Mini(BMW)' in there too ???

Other notables

Ac, Bristol, Noble, Morgan, Ariel and Aston Martin all appear to be in business at the moment

 

My boss was lurking, thus my very short list.

 

I'm gonna say..umm no. That car performs like it's made out of cheap plastic.
