Unfortunately, yes you are right.MoparNorm said:Typical Chinese copy, wonder what drivetrain it has?
Unfortunately a lawsuit in china doesn't accomplish much.
Yes BAIC had a Chrysler link in there somewhere.browens1534 said:Wasn't BAIC AMC-then Chrysler- Then DaimlerChrysler partner in China???
Yeah, they been saying that for 2 decades, but not even the Chinese like Chinese cars. I understand the thinking I, that the Chinese would follow the Japanese and Korean but so far the transfer has been very slow and has progressed has been disappoint from a Chinese view. Geely which is one of the best and directly owns Volvo still has made the kind of progress one would expect. Anyone who has been on the ground understand how hard it is to get them to monitor incoming quality and keep ongoing quality in focus. There is this Western focus that Asia is singular culturally when in reality they are extremely different.unclejjg said:I think it is brilliant, personally. I wish the US would have done the same thing, instead of let our country be invaded by foreign products. Not to mention, what the hell do you guys expect? We train the clowns at our colleges with scholarships....we let them experience the good life....of course they want it for themselves.
Give it another 10 years, and that vehicle will be offered here too. Hell, Jeep could use the competition....maybe we'd have more Jeeps instead of "Jeeps".
Many of these "clowns" provide tremendous innovation and ultimately US jobs. Encouraging the best and brightest to come here to America is what keeps us moving forward. Foreign born individuals here in America and Chinese auto knock-offs are two completely unrelated topics.unclejjg said:I think it is brilliant, personally.

Of the foreign students I knew from college, all have gone back to their country after working here for a short time. Idealism is what got us in this mess to begin with....JKU12 said:Many of these "clowns" provide tremendous innovation and ultimately US jobs.

That darn Clown TelsaDaveAdmin said:You mean, like Thomas Edison’s dad... or Isaac Asimov and his family... or Albert Einstein... or all those ex-Nazis who ran our space program for decades...? We should have kept them all out?
Idealism is what created this country, so yes, it's what got us into this mess.
If you're referring to the trade imbalance, you can blame absolutism more than anything else. Any attempt to point out the issues of making China a most-favored-nation were dismissed as protectionism — and they still are. Is globalism idealism? Yes, but so is protectionism.
Some say that policy should have started in 1492...We should have kept them all out?
I wouldn't say keep them all out.DaveAdmin said:You mean, like Thomas Edison’s dad... or Isaac Asimov and his family... or Albert Einstein... or all those ex-Nazis who ran our space program for decades...? We should have kept them all out?
