Inexpensive Chinese Car Crash Test

This is the reason why these "vehicles" can be manufactured at minimal expense. Just look at how it performs in the 64Km/hr tests; absolutely appalling. :o

Still, not as bad as some of the shady work carried out in local australian "business's"

Atleast when the chinese knowingly manufacture cheap garbage and sell it to you, they dont charge top dollar. You know exactly what your getting and its "on the shelf" 8) Having said that, chinese manufacturing has come along way in recent years and their high end stuff is nothing shabby (most comnsumer grade things are made there these days anyway) Their work ethic is also nothing short of astonishing.

Very true. They cater for everyone in their manufacturing. Also, once the ball is rolling, even the cheap products should increase in quality. Japanese products were once in the same position as well. It's just that in this day and age, people expect the "best" for nothing.
However, at this point, I'm sure Korean cars are better performing at that price. They have the advantage of development over time, the Chinese don't (yet).

This was a test done a few years ago. I believe the Chinese went back to the drawing board to fix it.
However, the Chinese want to sell this car in Europe for about the same price as a Toyota Camry.......LOL
I know which car I would rather buy and it AIN"T the Chinese one.... :D

scary shite.i think it would be less painful if there was a loaded pistol pointing at your head and being triggered at the point of impact instead of using an airbag
