    Has been discussed here a few weeks ago.. they're stil too unsafe and don't pass crash test and just look plain ugly.. the chinese cars have to improve a lot.. come back in 5 or 10 years.

    If you guys remember when the Japanese cars first came in they were plain junks. Not many wanted to buy them.
    Remember the Korean cars? Hyundai. They didn't have customers. But they came up with the 10 year bumper to bumper warranty.
    Now Japanese cars are one of the best in the market and affordable. And Korean cars also got improved, people buying them.

    One thing you will notice if you ever seen Japanese tourists, they take pictures, lot of pictures everywhere they visit. I think thats how they learned from others, and made their products better day by day. Its nothing wrong of course.

    I think its just gonna take time for Chinese to catchup. Then will kill the market with quality and price.

    If they can provide quality cars for a cheaper price then I'll definitely buy from them.

    5 or 10 years is too long for chinese cars to catch up.

    The made in China is getting better now.

    Cars in my country are very expensive.New car may cost 100,000RMB,and it might just be okay.

    the main problem is security... just see some crash tests, they are worse than 80´s car. maybe in some years.

    What's the population of China? A billion or so? They should build enough cars for themselves first.

    By the time they make the upgrades necessary, the cars will cost much more than they currently do in markets that don't have the same safety standards. Right now the Chinese cars are not even close to standards.

    Same thing was with Japanese. They improved day by day becoming one of the top hi tech nation.
