Chinese SUV

China is selling their SUV in Europe and it scored a 0 stars for its crash test. They have never seen a car fail as bad.

Testers calculated that a driver would be unlikely to survive a head-on collision at 40mph, and in a side-on collision at 30mph the driver would suffer severe head and chest injuries due to a lack of side protection.

Heheh. I remember this from a few months ago. Oh JiangLing, will you ever win?

If I remember correctly, the Landwind is a near exact design ripoff of the mid 90s Isuzu Axiom, or Mitsubishi Montero. I can't recall, this all went down back in September.

Exactly. 10-15 years and they'll be a real driving force in the auto industry.

damn right.. we need more instances of "Natural Selection". We are a garden full of weeds..

p.s. in 10-15 years China will be the global dominant. They already own a good chunk of the states and British Columbia...
