It was named after the Chinese flag of course, but it is ironic that I see red flags all over Chinese cars. Don't mind the death trap, you will at least die more luxuriously.

As if they really had a choice. But, it reminds me of Hyundai whom in fact is progressing beautifully. Hyundai's Genesis has everyone, including its critics, on the edge of thier seats. Aside from Chery's best traits my biggest negative issue with them is thier brakes. Every model has poor, outdated braking systems. Including thier large cars consisting of drums on the rear wheels. China's roadways may not necessitate excellent braking performance, however I am speaking to a committy of auto enthusiests and I think we can all agree that having great brakes puts a smile on the face.

But I do have to admit, and likely agree with some, that my first impression was "Rolls-Royce". But also mid to late 1980s CHRYSLER Imperial, which was not a bad looking car, but was a touch odd looking. The design is too polarizing for US markets. But could do well in CHINA and the rest of the Orient, if CHINA can get past those nagging quality issues. No one will mistake that for an Oriental Luxury design.

Old rich guys buy Maybachs, RR... the sportiest thing I've seen they drive is the Continental GT and he owns about US$3.5 billion. Rich young man may be worth about 2-3 million and they'd be buying Ferraris and Lambos. Anyway, regarding the Chery luxury division, it's better off if they copy everything from luxury brands like MB or BMW. If they take the chassis from the S Class, add some actual high quality leather, outsource the engine, and hire Pininfarina for the styling, slapstick a very cheap price, it could work. For the next gen, once they've learned how to copy whatever they have not, like the engine, then they can copy those too and give it an even lower sticker price. Regardless Chery is making a xxxxload of money even if it hasn't penetrated US yet. I'd say let the other countries provide them with research budget and once they can actually make a safe decent car they can break the US market with some really cheap vehicles. A cheaper alternative to the koreans is always welcome. Ditto. Old rich guys buy Maybachs, RR… the sportiest thing I’ve seen they drive is the Continental GT and he owns about US$3.5 billion.
