The Chinese would be well-advised to forget about automobile manufacturing and concentrate on those things they do well. You know ……. like producing dog food, tooth paste etc

Lead paint on toys, plastic in pet food, poisonous toothpaste, chemical and hormone laden shrimp, and now collapsing cars. Is there anything coming out of that country that is reasonably safe? I’m getting to the point where I’m not sure I want to import clothing from China. Who knows what danger lurks in the warp and woof of that shirt?

Mein Gutt! Good thing they don’t make motorcycles.
Cheap is cheap people…there’s a very good reason some products are very affordable, in the longer term Cheap ain’t cheap as you absorb the periphery costs of poor quality.

Does this mean a price roll back at Walmart.

Dr. Kevorkian is looking into purchasing a shipment for his clients.

Oh come on people. It’s just the latest in collapsible, folding automobiles. They simply forgot to first remove the occupants. 🙂

Has anyone noticed that in the SUV test, the airbag separates detaches itself from the dash after inflating; the entire steering column appears to detach and hit the driver in the face; that the driver loses both legs and has its left arm rotated to a backward position, and that the passenger compartment is now about 10 inches deep?
In the test for the car, the airbags also appear to inflate incorrectly. The passenger side bag is not timed the same as the driver side bag, and the driver’s head is pushed out of the window by an airbag which shoves his head to the left.
I wouldn’t drive one of these in the parking lot of the car dealer, let alone on the road.
Could someone please explain to me again how it’s supposed to our advantage to import so much dangerous garbage into Canada?

What I most like about it is the German crash technicians laughing themselves silly at the crash.

You crash your Chinese car, and then to your dismay, you want to crash another one, 10 minutes later.

The more fatal car crashes, the fewer cars and people there will be.
This is China’s contribution to combatting global warming.
Climate alarmists will love this car — it makes an even more hip statement than a hybrid!
They can even have a bumper sticker saying, “I’m ready to go!”.
Sheer brilliance.

Now I understand more clearly why Moe Strong wants to export this crap to North America.. it is certainly to kill us one by one… or family by family…
And the germans laughing in the video is a very good point, I imagine its been awhile since they’ve seen something fold like that.
Read the label folks.

..that is funny..:)
I also noticed, as did a reader that the airbags are not doing much to save your life here..hard to survive a crash when the airbag is pretty well attached to the motor, and it is going to end up in your lap..

Tons of Chinese made musical instruments are being sold and rented to kids in band programs.
The quality is horrid. They look nice when they are fresh out of the box and even play okay, but then they start of deteriorate quickly. Before long they are clanky, leaky, and are annoying to try to repair.
The materials are cheap and the design in marginal. The alloys used are low grade and that means corrosions comes easily.
To get any value out of them you must have them serviced regularly and treat them very gently.
They have littles resale value, but do get handed around so other kids can be equally discouraged trying to play them.
Spend the extra bucks and get something made in Japan or the USA. And don’t be cheap. For a few bucks more you can get high quality.
No one ever regretted buying quality.
Hopefully, China will move to better quality once everyone gets wise to the absolute crap they produce. It might be really cheap, but in this case you sometimes don’t even get what you pay for.
Once they must compete with quality, they will need higher standards in materials and skilled workmanship. Then others will be able to compete with them again.
But not before they poison half the planet making the volume of crap they are presently finding markets for here.
Connect those dots.

Y’all done better watch what you be sayin’ here. Nasty comments about these vehicles might be considered a hate crime. Racism, you know.
Sure, we apologized for the head tax.
Will the Chinese apologise for the people killed by these things?

Sad truth is that you would be hard pressed to find anything not made in China these days. Looked at three pair of shoes today and noticed that they were all made in China.
I may wear Chinese shoes but I’ll be damned if I’ll fly in a Chinese made aircraft if they are as good as their cars.

I hope there is a great auto trade exchange between Russia and China . . . [ good buddies ]
Big trade in Ladas and Brilliamces s s s. = TG

For perspective, another car that received a one-star adult occupant protection crash-safety rating (according to Euro NCAP guidelines): the British-made Rover 100.
Only marginally safer at 1.5 stars (i.e., you will likely not die on impact, but rather will first endure several minutes of excruciating pain before succumbing to your multiple internal injuries and/or being engulfed in flames) are the Saab 900 (1997), BMW 3 Series (1997), Mitsubishi Lancer (1998), and Chevrolet Aveo (2006).

I have a Chinese made 1/2 inch drill bit which actually un-twisted during use. Straightened right out. Wasn’t in a drill press either, just a hand drill.
I extrapolate from that to a car and I get… Brilliance!
