Just who is going to buy a chinese made car? I won’t.
My first thought, Trust my life with Made in China vehicle??
I buy Japanese and American but I don’t want anything from China.
Pretty much. They’ve been importing tractors for some time now. If they’re any indicator I can’t see Chinese cars taking anything but a TINY segment of the market. Mostly their stuff is total crap w/o spares, readable instructions/repair manuals or a reasonable dealer net.
hell no. You’d have to be nuts to willingly buy a car that was made in China. Everything they make falls apart or doesn’t work. Their tolerances are crappy, their iron is weak, and their quality control is non-existent. We’re running out of room in our landfills trying to bury all their garbage.

I have long predicted that brand spanking new Chinese cars will literally be on the shelves of Sam’s Club. Very small. Very basic. Priced competitively with a used car - around $8,000.
For a first time car buyer, new sounds better than used, and its easier to finance a new car.
The Chinese are kinda slim on labor costs. R & D costs...don’t really exist in China. They just copy other products.
Here’s the racket - if you want to sell cars in China, you have to form a partnership with a Chinese company. Through this ‘partnership’, the Chinese company gets access to all intellectual data. Eventually, a carbon copy of your car gets pumped out of Chinese factories. Its already happened with Saturn, several years ago - cars meant for the Chinese market.
Would Americans buy a Chinese car? We buy Chinese tv sets, tools, every damn consumable good at Wal Mart, etc. Oh yes, Americans will buy these.
......who is going to buy a chinese made car.....
Something like 52% of the American electorate voted for Obama and believe in the Utopian alternate energy concept. That includes the electric alternative to gasoline engines.
The small electric cars are special purpose for use in cities where distances traveled are short. Women will buy them. American women can be sold anything..... proof Oil Of Olay
