Link below to a very interesting website listing all the Chinese car makers. Some of the stuff is off the wall but some of the stuff is starting to look just like anything else on the road. Anyway its good to see this stuff.

Oh and here's one of my favorites. Described as " fashionable and personal " by the website. You make your own mind up

Can't stand the Chinese tbh, we give them enough of our money when it comes to cheap electronics and plastic stuff. Soon all the other countries will be poor and China rich.

Don't like their government or their attitude in general I'd be very weary of China tbh and try to avoid buying stuff from there if it's at all possible

They aren't exactly known for quality either. I'd go for a Peugeot out of Iran before I'd touch any homegrown Chinese stuff

"BYD Company Ltd. owns more than 40,000 staff members all over the world" no wonder they can make the cars so cheap :rolleyes:

After watching those Chinese accident videos I'd want an external roll cage or ablative armour as an optional extra.

The batteries in their electric cars probably die after about 2 months just like every battery I ever got from that utter sh1thole of a country

i wouldn't joke about byd they put me out of a job. I used to design chargers and batteries for motorola. Till they came in and did it for much much cheaper. That was in 2004 and i was actually employed by motorola. Seven years later be still havn't found a job as identifying as the one i had. :-(

There is no difference between places like North Korea, China, Burma and the like except that China has done a deal with America that generally suited America at the time.

So Western governments paint China in a positive light and don't dwell so much on how bad the place is because after all our cheap stuff is coming from them and we'd hate to offend them now that we are so dependent on them.

They are only rich because they work the sh1t out of their 'employees' which are only glorified slaves to the Communist cause and they work in apalling conditions so its not like you can get up and just get a job in China instead
