Re: Apparently, Chinese vehicles aren't doing well in crash tests

This is quite shocking to actually see on video. Wow. It's a Chinese car, yes, but how can be allowed to drive on ANY road?

Not much point having airbags when the entire front end comes in your face.

Same case as a 1970 Honda or Toyota. Look how their quality compares to the US made stuff now. In 30 years we'll be speaking chinese.

25 years ago people predicted that today we would be speaking Japanese. So I am not too worried.

Please remember that the American automakers often fought safety improvements as well as fuel economy ones.

Very true, but to produce a new car that is built that wrong is just not very responsible or very smart.
