I agree that it turns people off a bit when china-made cars are
designed to look similar to highend cars.
As with all things china, quality is not their trademark, for
now.
But, as an asian , I like to see china succeed.
The 1st motor company in the west certainly did not make highly
efficient cars, I would think. This takes time.
As china sells more cars, I am sure they will have more money to
improve its quality as it invests in R&D and QA and worker
training more. They will have to in order to export successfully to
the west, which they already doing.
Technically and technologically , China should have no problem
producing a quality car. They are not inventing something new. They
are just playing catchup.
So, China can have cheaper and highend cars also. Why should asians
only buy from western cars or japanese cars? Its like saying why
should a citizen only live and work and die country of citizenship?
Why limit yourself so badly?
