Would you buy a Chinese car?

[Kid Nickels]



**** the Chinese. I try as hard as I can (and as much as I can afford) to buy as little as possible from that hell hole.

+1 x infinity. If we all tried this just a little we wouldn't be dying a slow death in our cheaply-made, bottom-line-price, uninformed consumer-made Chinese debt-laden drowning pool! (Yes, I do believe that sentence was also constructed in China... )

 

[Kid Nickels]

so for the record, **** no!

 

[RuffyD]

At the moment, no.
Electronics made in China have a tendency to explode....

You'd better not get too near your PC then.

No way would I buy a car and avoid buying anything else Chinese.
Just discovered today our local Kraft company is making Nabisco brand cookies and crackers in F*&%ing CHINA... vomits!

No. I hate China and China-men.

I don't care if they stole Japan's superior tech and will outdo them, It's an emotional thing, so it's irrational.

Wait, what? Is this true?

Depends on how good it is ... I have had 3 Skodas in the last 8 years so I am not against manufacturers based in "non developed" world

That's reasonable, from your third world country you're doing very well with a second world country car.

The Chinese police evidently wont buy Chinese cars.

...probably made in China though.

 

[MikeDT]



I can't buy chinese car ! as i live in India and if i order it from china, then i need to pay huge amount of shipping cost to deliver car in India.

You'd probably be much better off buying yourself a Jaguar or Land Rover or Range Rover.

As of right now, no. I've recently started warming up to Korean cars, but I still don't see myself buying one anytime soon.

How can 1/6 of the world's population NOT produce a good car? It should happen eventually, but what's the current problem that China is facing? I think that's the real question in this thread. There are some good arguments being made in this thread (as well as some bad ones)... I personally don't have an opinion, but that's mainly because I'm not educated enough in Chinese culture/news to give an opinion.

BTW, that crash test video is horrific.

Would you buy this Chinese car?

...oh those once noble names from the golden era of British car manufacturing...MG, Morris, Rover, Austin.

 

[Eason]

Nope.
