Just a few years ago I looked at a Hyundai and an ECHO and chose the ECHO.
Its not the same now and it wont be the same with Chinese cars once they get established. I have a pair of Chinese astronomical binoculars 15X70 I got for $150. A like pair of Japanese are $500-700. I dont think a lot of people will spend the $700 when they try both.

Sorry, but the words "quality control" are not part of the Chinese vocabulary - I won't buy anything made in China if I can help it.

Binoculars are not the same as a car and one of the reasons they can make things so cheap is because of currency manipulation. That is something I hope the US Government does something about sooner rather than later.
As a manufacturer, we experimented with Chinese subcontracting of our parts. It was cheaper but we had to test every unit. Quote:
