If you read the article carefully, it doesn't say anything about the NHSTA trying to help bring Chinese cars to the US, but rather make safety standards and laws in China similar to what we have in the US, Canada, Europe, and the rest of the world and help Chinese automakers make cars that pass those standards. What they are doing probably will help bring Chinese cars over here, but it doesn't seem, to me at least, to be their main goal. AgmLauncher, sadly you are right.

Our own NHTSA are helping China get their pieces of shit here" You act surprised that American institutions run by Americans are acting anti-American. Being anti-American is the cool thing to do in modern society. 1. Hate the government 2. Buy imports 3. Be kind and fair to terrorists and criticize the military 4. Support illegal immigration That's what being a modern metrosexual (lol @ that fucking word) American is all about :) “This is such fuking bullsht.

Only cars safe enough to drive in this country come from Genral Motors. A fleet of GM engineers couldn't help China buiild a safe car. With the right amount of money, GM could help Ford and Chrysler though. Between them they have 1 or 2 non-deathtraps, but China? Noway. wHY WE WASTE OUR TIME HELPING CHINA BUILD SAFE CARS WHEN WE DON’T HELP FORD AND CHRYSLER MAKE SAFE CARS?

Probably $1000-$1500 below Kia/Hyundai or about $9K for a stripper subcompact. They won't be sold in the West until they meet the minimum crash standards -- they don't want to be the next Yugo.

The US has nothing to gain from this. What would really make sense would be for the EPA to team up with the European environmental agency and synchronize the introduction of new targets for NOx & particulate emissions based on best in class rather than hypothetically achievable. This way automakers could simultaneously release new drivetrains on each continent. The savings & benefits would be huge! This is a joke. The US has nothing to gain from this.
