Chinese are cheap and shit no wonder they're taking over Volvo, Volvo won't be the same :(

[daliwangsun]

[unamonu]

Cute little car. It really looks like a panda bear :)

[CelestialKindred]

Some nice sedans are sold around 7000 US dollars in China.

However Camry BMW are 50%~100% more expensive.

Hey, I just thought of something: If I was Top Gear, I'm as obsessed about speed and fast cars like Jeremy Clarkson, but I also like SOME American Muscle cars and/or plucky nimble little cars like Richard Hammond, and even a "Rolls Royce" and a "Panda" like James May.

[betatalk357]

I'm in USA and I'd like to have one of these and their fake Rolls Royce! They look nice, pretty exciting, has lots of potential, and probably has a nice price tag.

Fuck domestics- the only "cheap" cars they could make is that UGLY Aveo for 15 grand. And even then, it's boring and made by lazy people who aren't the least bit interested in building a great car. But the get paid 65 an hour, then TRY TO SELL to people making a mere 9 an hour.

[betatalk357]

No wonder Americans buy Chinese; that's the reasonable, cheap solution to have what you want and not go bankrupt trying to do it.

As for the cheap Rolls, I LOVE how it gets under Rolls Royce's pompous, snooty, uppity and pampering the rich's asses.

It's like a Cinderella car: Many people would like to go to the party or be the life of the party, but how can you when the rich keep you an economic slave at 9 an hour or outsources your job?

[betatalk357]

If the rich likes sending away the jobs, might as well retaliate by sending away the money and mock them with Chinese imports.

And you can't blame the Chinese for wanting to make money: they want the American Dream just like us. Hell, they drive Buicks and live in mass-produced suburbian homes they build after tearing down structures imbedded in 100 years of old Chinese history.

The only difference: ALL Chinese want to work hard for what they want; some Americans do- many others don't.

[SergeantVeteran]

@betatalk357 You see, that is the problem with Chinese cars.

Why not buy the real thing?

[betatalk357]

@SergeantVeteran Who can afford a REAL Rolls Royce or a REAL BMW or a REAL Mini? And this Tobe looks similar to a Mini, but in a way, it isn't a Mini, nor did it try to be like it. But the Tobe looks like a real nice car that handles well and might go for a decent price.

[SergeantVeteran]

@betatalk357 Well i think the Geely Tobe is the exception.

It may be ugly, but at least it doesn't look like something else.

I can't think of a single car it looks similar to.

[HsingG32]

u know..i have bought a car that the producer show it can do that and even more...but finally ....still suck!

BTW good start tho..
