@Annihilator1111 Yeah I thought it was weird when I saw that but then I realized that they are built there for that country, so china would build them for china, If you know what I mean. It would be way to expensive to ship them over here..

4 star car at best, horrible reliability and just plain ugly. Welfare car at best.
