i still wont buy a China Car. or a motorcycle. those are life and death boundaries that we're talking about. its not so fine to buy a china celfone, (for fear of exploding batteries), moreso a vehicle.

we have China built bikes here and the most common problems are electricals (alternators,dynamos,wiring,etc) and panels fitting each other like a glove (although the latter can be addressed by better manufacturing)

i know so because my brother is a bike mechanic, and i usually help him if there's something he cant seem to troubleshoot in electricals...and my dad used to be the area manager for Foton (a china brand as well). we used to have a china pickup truck which was from Month 1 (brand new) making all the squeaks in the underchassis which transmits through the cabin. and oh yeah, that very noticeable body roll. FAIL. (sorry Foton, this is first hand experience and not opinion)
