ha ha what a joke Brilliance?? more like xxxxIANCE

FIRST POST !!!!!!!!!!

first ,second and third post

So what happened to the idea that these Chinese cars are supposed to be cheap? $15,000 – $21,000 gives you a lot of other cars to choose from….

that thing doesnt look half bad.

wow 10 seconds to 60mph thats fast for a chineese car, hahahaha

doesnt look half good neither, kind of like a cheap tiburon

Doesn’t look half bad….fast for a Chinese car, but how long before a European journalist snaps the chassis in half when he flogs the living daylights out of it?

I like the tail lights. They’re actually interesting and unique. I can’t say that about the Tiburon.

Plus the tail lights are red. Who would have thought a red tail light would look good??? What a concept! Man I wish auto makers would drop the “euro” tail lights.

eleventh post!

car looks pretty good.
Sunfire meets tiburon meets Civic 2-door

Looks ok except for those weird tail lights….

And lol @ the 0-60 time.

Rather good looking actuualy. And doesn’t infringe on any other auto manufacturer’s design as soo many other Chinese auto makers do. Look out Scion.

’nuff said

Not too shabby but is it as good as it looks?

illwill…whoa. And I thought the nazimobiles were made of tinfoil…yikes.

Isn’t $15K pricey for a country where the average production worker makes $2400/year, sales reps $5200 and accountants $9000? $15-$21K is about the price I would expect this car to sell for in the US — similar to a Tiburon.

Enjoy your laughing….you guys just act like the high school bullies. When they make their way to the top, you guys will look like a dumb.

define making it to the top please.

It’s not bad looking, too bad it’s a ****ing deathtrap.

I actually think it looks nice. That front grill is extremely outdated though, if they plan on introducing it to Europe or America.

I still pray that the Chinese will never touch United States shores, and if they do, I hope they plunder.

I’m curious why these low cost automanufacturers aren’t considering Souther America, instead of North America where the car market is advancing.

i just barfed in my mouth a little…

OK, now this is a great design IMO. But how does it fare in official crash tests? As long as they don’t get the basics right I’ll keep slamming them down.

10 seconds.. turbocharged… wow….

The profile looks like a mixture of a Hyundai Tiburon, BMW 3-series coupe, a late 1980’s to early 1990s Mercedes CLK, and (its just a feeling)an Audi coupe. The yellow makes it look like a Chevy Cobalt but more like a Cavalier.

OH MY GOD! I JUST CANT STOP YAWNING!!!

“Head-giver”, that’s what I said when I saw your mom … then again, she was laying down, spread like an eagle, and I approached from behind.

Even my Saturn L100 can accelerate faster than that. Cost less, too.

I agree…the crash rating is really important for this car to win the market. And for CTS Driver…By todays standard, GM is still making some crap cars. It is reall a shame.

wait i thought it ****ed up the crash test. 0-60 in 10 seconds is plenty fast enough to kill you in this car. and design is yet to be original although its not THAT ugly. I expect this car to be 10%-20% slower than the spec claims because this is chinese spec.

Nice try, but no thanks. Notice how cheap it is — dang! 15 grand for “luxury sports car’

Blakarr.. you are the closest to what I was thinking.. I see Tiburon, BMW 3-series and new Accord coupe in the overall shape.. but all pleasantly blended together and not an obvious knock-off. Yes, the taillights are oddly shaped but functional.. and slightly remind me of the Bentley Azure. Now if they could only just get the engineering, quality and safety up to par..

OMG I GOT THE 33rd COMMENT HAAHAH U ALL SUCK #33 BABY!

and it looks better than the compacted scion tc.

luv the lights?????

scion tc looks much better than this

Well…I don’t like the design of the car. But I think we should give Brilliance a chance…

Car actually looks good and for once, it is not someone else’s identical twin. It’s about quality and safety. Based on my overall impression with Chinese cars, I won’t buy one NOW. But then our minds can be changed in the future. I wonder how many of you swore you would never buy a Hyundai / Kia back in the 80s/90s. They are everywhere nowadays.

i dont know, i like the front end of the scion tC, but the rear looks unfinished and stubbie, like it got cut off. Less like a coupe if you ask me. Its not quite long enough or maybe the design is just too bloated-looking from the rear.

NOT BAD ……AT LEAST THEY ARE TRYING….KEEP TRYING.

elvira every single inch of any chinamobile was stolen from everybody else, no chinamobile has a single drop of imagination, hell or engineering for that matter.
you should not talk you anal invader, even the ****tiest gm car (cavalier) can pass a friggin crash test.

CTS Driver….I thought you are mature enough to drive your beloved CTS, but no…you are just one of that three kids in LA.

i drive my 525 a little more, i picked the cts name to actually argue in the cts`s favor, but given the choice i drive my nissan frontier.
.
dude seriously i just wanted to know what your version of making it to the top was.
was it total volume of cars to be sold?
was it making top luxury cars like benz and bmw?
was it making the best total quality line of cars?
.
the question is still that simple are you capable of answering? just to be fair about answering i know a lot of people here speak english as a second or third language, so mabey i was not clear enough with my original question.

Let’s buy lots of chinese cars so that we can finish off our domestic car industry. What a brilliant idea. Will lead to more consumer choice for sure.

(CTS Driver)
Try to act civilized if at all possible and if you can handle that then you could also try speaking the truth every now and again.

truth? where am i lying? i just asked to define what he thinks the top is!!!!! and we all know china steals designs from everybody, so tell me where i am lying. if you cant tell me then mind your fingetips, hell i even asked nicely to begign with; then got attacked so i was civil to begin with..idiot.

CTS Driver….I think this will answer your question.

The software (Windows or Mac) that you are using RIGHT NOW is pretty much built (including testing) by the people who come from India, China, and some other countries. So you can quit using them. Same thing about GM, there are many people, who also happen to be coming from the other countries, involved in designing and buliding, and testing the new CTS…so you can go and rest, and not to drive one.

This car would be great in Kazakhstan! It’s only needs chick magnet. Looks like Cobalt had a little sex with older Acura Integra and that’s came out.

Looks like China combined a Scion tC with the old VW 1.8L turbocharged engine… and then mated that all up with a Chevy 4-speed automatic transmission.

Then detuned the whole shebang so that it’d only manage 9.7 seconds in the 0-60 race.

Nice going! Maybe we’ll see a $30,000 Chinese car with 300 HP and a 15 second time for the 0-60 sprint, too!

elvio, ok then i will answer the questiomn myself.
eventually i see chineese cars inbetween the japaneese and american cars as far as volume sales go.
as far as overall feel and solidity it will be
germany/italy/england
then
america/korea/japan
then
china/india.
seriously i wasnt trying to talk crap i just wanted to see what your opinion was.
microsoft and mac are american just outsourced to asia. brilliance is a chineese company in china so your comparison didnt count really, are the germans going to get credit for pouring the asphalt the cts was tested on in germany?

If they want to sell their car here…they need to change their name.
