Chinese cars, and cars driven on Chinese soil

[sumdud]

I was looking up the police picture thread 2 days ago, and came upon the posts where information about cars employed. I remember some cars present over there and have heard that there will be an invasion from China-Chery, Jili, and maybe Jifan(Who's Jifan?)- in 2007.

So does anyone know about Chinese cars? Any sort of ranking among them internally? Which is better, which is horror, and which can come out of China challenging all the other.

And which company has the safer of the cars?

Chery was in Singapore in 2006, and so far review is not bad... but it really lose up in term of technology and comfort. The final finishing of the car is really not something I would brag about... but all in all, Chery make quite a cute car.

JieFang and HongQi are two household brands in China - everyone in China knows about them as the classics. JieFang is famous in China for producing China's first trucks. And they still do. HongQi's cars are what the chairmens ride in when they parade on Tiananmen, I think.

Hmm? What kind of cars crowd the streets of Singapore?

Got a production Chery picture in Singapore? What cars do they make there? *fake Lexus ESs*?
They got reliable engines and safe cars?

Hongqis use to be China's Lexus (Yes, I like Lexus) and BMWs. My mom say they have good engines. GZ's yellow coloured taxis (Best in town; Guangzhou recently released taxis of different colours and real AC buses like those of Hong Kong.) are Hongqis also. They don't look exactly great though, their designs are stuck in the 80s boxes apparently........

What about Jinbei and Dongfeng? DF trucks aren't bad either, I suppose. Anyone know if you can say that DF vs. Jiefang = Toyota vs. Honda?
And jinbei? Popular vans and saloon/sedans. How'd they compare?

Just out of interest, i know in the UK rover went bankrupt and i think a Chinese company was going to buy it, anyone know what happened to that company? and if the Chinese company did buy it, is it making those cars now?

Hi, so far only the Chery QQ arrive in Singapore. I think they are launching the A160 or something like that. However not alot of people is comfortable with the QQ because of recent studies of its safety rating in Europe (it came out very bad).

Anyway, Japanese car still rules in Singapore's roads and soon I predict, the koreans will have a bigger shares too.

MG Rover was bought by Nanjing Automobile Corp, which beat Shanghai Automotive in a bidding war, and apparently has plans for production in the UK as well as a new plant in the United States.

Does anyone know of a car company named Jifan? Or can confirm it is a mispell for the truck brand Jiefang?

Also, does anyone have a site for Hongqi?

What segments of the market are these Chinese automakers going to be competeting in? Standard? Performance? Luxury?
