U.S. car buyers will soon have a new option: very-low-priced Chinese cars, trucks and SUVs.
Four Houston partners will be exclusive dealers for two major manufacturers of Chinese cars for the entire state of Texas, with the first dealership scheduled to open in the city this summer.
China Motors of Texas will import automobiles made by Geely and trucks and SUVs made by Great Wall, China’s leading manufacturer of such vehicles.
Cars will sell in the range of $7,000 to $11,000.

Coming soon to a town near you: Chinese car dealerships are opening in 14 states.
"Most of the other manufacturers have abandoned the low, entry level of the price market," said Rams [CEO of China Motors of Texas], noting: "Chinese car makers are committed to becoming a world force."
With prices between 7 and 11 thousand dollars, becoming a world force may be possible.
The Geely sports sedan, called Solo, will cost $10,888 fully equipped with leather seats, power windows, a remote control entry system, CD player and wood trim. A fully-equipped Solo sedan is $8,888.
Some pickup trucks sell for $7,900, and subcompacts cost $6,900. The prices for the SUVs have not been announced.
Geely offers 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines, made in China, as well as a V-6.
The Geely pickup truck has a one liter engine that uses 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers, which is nearly 38 miles to the gallon and a top speed of 98 km/h (60 miles per hour).
