Review: Funny when Ben said how Chinese automotive companies don't have the Americans' quality. Maybe he should look at the car market in the US. GM and Ford have been losing their market to Japanese carmakers. Ford and GM cars are synonymous with cheapness and low quality in their home country.

Review: In my opinion, China should have its own car brand. Although more and more cars have been coming into the Chinese car market,most of them are from foreign countries,such as the US, Japan, and Germany. So China has a long way to go in developing its own car brand.

Review: When talking about car-making as a business, we may have to look at this more on business side other than if this is from China or not. Experienced engineers ,educated labor,low labor cost,supply base... those basic factors are needed for manufacture industry. If we can find all of this in China or any other countriees,the possibility of success is high... Business is not supposed to be bounded in any country, in my opinion

Review: It is a revealing fact that China, Japan (even Korea) embarked on building their own auto industry at precisely the same time. But China lagged behind because of its poor experience in car-making and the lack of cooperation with foreign car makers. After 1978, foreign enterprises were allowed to access to China and build joint-venture or factories, from then, China has become the base for foreign car makers because of its cheap labor force and enormous market. But if Chinese car-makers want to make their own brands acknowledged and welcome by Westerners, the prime requisite is to promote the quality, both of cars and services. And what is more, buying a car is beyond most ordinary Chinese folks' ability. Isn't it a paradox that Chinese carmakers engage in making money abroad before developing their domestic market?

Review: Could the Chinese carmakers ever penetrate the US market? Never say never. If you look at them today, maybe that seems unlikely. The cars they make don't seem to be attractive in the US. But remember that the earliest Japanese cars that came to the US were also quite the opposite from the Detroit irons of the era. They were too small, too weak, and few people would buy them. But they kept at it, and look at where they are today. So, could that small kid you saw today beat you in a fight? Maybe not today, but wait till he grows up!

Review: Chery's QQ hits the road in Pakistan about six months from now. Chevrolet Joy, the 800cc Korean Daewoo plant product, hit Pakistan two years before. Chery's QQ is priced 20% less than GM Chevrolet Joy, even after paying 90% custom duties. Chevrolet Joy only pays 15% tax as it is locally assembled. QQ?s warranty is 50,000 km and 2 years. Who will stay and who will run is still to be determined. The customer is the king.

Review: China's domestic car sales, although increasing at breakneck speed, still open a large opportunity. How trivial is 3 million car sales against 1.3 billion population where most of the people has not owned a car yet? Filling up Chinese roads with so many cars will be a burden locally as well as overseas. Imagine how much more gasoline they would have to buy in order to get their cars running? A good opportunity is to develop cars with good fuel efficiency and flexibility. I heard there is some research on developing a car engine which can use bio-diesel, and even using cow manure as fuel substitute. Can anyone share some light?

Review: Ben, Chinese car makers are good at making cheap and fuel efficient cars. Given the soaring price of oil and American debts, I would say that one day Americans will flock for Wal-Mart like car dealers to buy Chinese cars. Wake up to the reality of capitalism! For the punishing competitive environment in China, American market is like a piece of cake for highly competitive Chinese.
