not exactly a fan of the new camaro

and the man who brought the short lived Hugo and Subaru over to America is planning on bringing Chinese motors over to the US in the near future to compete with the expensive luxury car market. because labor is so cheap, they are offering "luxury" style vehicles under or around 20,000

Geely

and

Chery (although the name will be changed because Chevy says it sounds too much like their make)

Chery M14

I'm already sick of the whole "retromod" craze. I kinda liked the new Mustangs (although I'm not the biggest fan of those, either) then the Dodge Charger came out and I was like "hey...deja vu. Looks just like the Mustang". Then I saw the plans for the Dodge Challenger and went "ok...seriously". Now the Camaro concept. Ugh. Chevy narrowly outsold Ford for the first time in 20 years (largely driven by Trailblazer sales) and now they think they've got the clout to start ripping off their designs. I guess Dodge is doing it too...but no one pays attention to Dodge.

If I want a car that looks like an old car, I'll go buy an old car.

they are saying that 2005-2008 is the new 1960's for the american cars...

thermal · 01-15-2006, 08:24 AM

I thought Chery is a Chinese made car

*Addict* · 01-15-2006, 08:24 AM

First off, F-CK chinese cars and anyone in America that buys one.

That said, I like the new Challenger design and the new Camaro. Not that I think I'll be able to afford either or be able to convince myself to buy a domestic car.

The Charger was such a disappointment. I was really hoping they would have tried harder on that.

Grip72 · 01-15-2006, 01:26 PM

yes..charger was stupid

the new camaro is nice...except the front grill + area

the new challanger is pretty sexy as well

Yeah it is, and that's what Darin mentioned.

Addict, was it really necessary to say all that?

so why do you say this? from what i hear they are supposed to be good cars. Because china is in the works of cleaning up their enviroment they are supposed to be good emissions vehicles and supposably decently built cars

I agree China makes shitty cheap products, do you really think they can now all of a sudden pull off a whole car? I don't think so.

I'm sick of countries that pay their people pennies trying to infiltrate all their shitty products into our market, and I'm sick of the companies in our own country who out source their crap over there.

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-15-2006, 03:56 PM

"youd just have to buy another one 30minutes later"

You're an angry lil fella arent you

Chery was founded in 1997
Geely was founded in 1986

granted not as long as most car companies but, I'll give em a chance

*AzCivic* · 01-15-2006, 05:32 PM

ebpda9 · 01-16-2006, 12:21 AM

since when did u guys see a good product coming out of China, unless it was china ?

thermal · 01-16-2006, 07:01 AM

They make so much shit that I dont even know which one is good or not.

Most of Walmart shit is Chinese made.

The only thing I dont like about China is what they said now about not doing shit to the Iranian Nuke project. Other than that, I think that China has some decent products.... I just dont know about their cars tho........

*ChrisCantSkate* · 01-16-2006, 07:48 AM

so chinas new car is gonna be like a hyundia? cheap cost luxury? if im buying a luxury car its coming from europe... maybe japan butr probobly not.

GT40FIED · 01-16-2006, 07:50 AM

I wouldn't buy a Chinese car if you paid me to drive it. They just don't pay their workers enough to make quality stuff. I've seen a TON of chinese-sourced crankshafts give up the ghost way before their time. If I made $0.50 an hour I probably wouldn't care either. That...and those cars look gay as hell.
