frylock350 “What the Europeans don’t like lead in their interiors?” good one.

“But then again I don’t like seeing any imports.” Imports make domestics better.

LP640: GOOD, BECAUSE I THINK I CAN WAIT ! Me, too!

Comment by hateful83: “I’m sure they’ll sell them at Wal-Mart.” In Germany, you could at one point get a small French car as part of a package deal at a supermarket. Don’t think it was wal-mart, though.

China makes everything, why not make cars? I’m sure they’ll sell them at walmart.

I can’t wait – one of these should look good as a hood ornament on the front of my Suburban.

And Europe rejoices as the drastic increase in the car crash death rate is put on hold …

To sell it in Asia they have little Mickey Mouses decorating the interior.

In Europe the interior needs stupid ghey colored pokadots.

When they bring it to the USA they’ll need leather, 18 cupholders, and a place to store your medications.

@frylock – I think it’s just that Europeans expect a nice interior, and if Chery doesn’t deliver there are plenty of other options. The Chinese don’t have a lot of quality cars there and they’re looking more at value anyways.

Though I think you were just making a joke

I personally wont put my life in the hands of anything built in a country that values life so little.
Made in the China is a warning statement, not something put on a product for pride. They would not put it on there if they did not have to.

Let’s see…Chery redesigning the interior of this B21 thing…Chrysler redesigning the interior of the Sebring/Avenger…Chrysler planning on selling Chery B21 in North America. Am I the only one seeing a pattern here?

I’d rather not see them in the US market at all. But then again I don’t like seeing any imports.

Let the europeans perfect their safety ratings first through some hard lessons then once they become good enough for the US market, we can get them at K-Mart.

“The design was for the domestic [Chinese] market,”

What the Europeans don’t like lead in their interiors?
