Wow, the dummy is totalled! 54 km/h is considered neighbourhood speed, if anything bad happened in highway, this car will turn into powder in miliseconds!

Im a firefighter/EMT. I cut people out of cars fairly frequently… see all kinds of people and all kinds of cars in some pretty messed up situations. All I have to say after seeing that is “oh my god”. No chance. especially at only 54 km/h. hyundai’s dont even do that!!!!!!!!!! Hope that junk never comes here.

There are still nearly 500 units Landwind are traped at the port and forbidden to sell to Europe. It this situation will still last for couple of months, Landwind agent in Europe will face very serious problem since such amount of money can not flow. Manager of landwind plant really need to think about that it is stupid idea to export such poor quality cars to Europe without passing test. It is the shame of Landwind.

I work in the US auto industry, and frankly we’re pretty worried about China bringing cars into our country because they can undercut our costs so badly. I’m *praying* that they bring this garbage over now. Then it can come and go like the Yugo did.

For Pete’s sake, Ford is getting sued because parked vehicles that get hit from behind at 130Km/h by semi trucks (haulers) sometimes burn. At 130Km/h you’d need a sponge to clean this thing up.

whoever said this ‘thingy’ (claimed and agreed by some quarters as a car) is a good and a safe ‘thingy’ must be sasau to the fullest. TUV-approved? ini TUV gila ka?

That is not a vehicle, it is a moving coffin if you ask me. Proton's car is much better than this, if anyone is interested to view the Waja crash test video, here it is: Edit: Re-hosted here. Paul you may want to host that Waja video somewhere else more permanent. My disk space is rather limited, it will be gone in a few week.

What the FU*K la?!?!?! I mean seriously!!!! Look at that stupid ass nonsense cock bollocks sewer trash on 4 wheels! The bloody thing literally jumps up in the air after crashing! And at 54KM/h ONLY! What the hell would happen if you were to crash this shit at a higher speed, say SIXTY FOUR KM/h?!

I don’t get it la…. I cannot, for the love of me, even being to understand how some of you can say this is quite a positive looking crash test… Know what? If this nonsense ever comes to Malaysia, please buy one la… And hopefully, you will be able to feel what the dummy in the crash test felt.

Well I like all the comments, but the Landwind is a safe car as TUV said.
TUV qualities are better than the ADAC/ANWB qualities. The Europeans car manufactures just do not want the Lanwind on the market.
They just will become better and learn about their mistakes.
By the way: I like the Malaysian cars and forsee a big future for them abroad, but can not find any crashtest of the Gen 2 and Savvy, although they have TUV approvals. Anyhow I rather sit in a Landwind than in a coupple of other korean and European cars with a crashtest, like the Kia, Clio and other small cars Do not worry about the Landwind. It will be a good car once it get on the Malaysian roads

Chinese car passes crash test in Germany
(China Daily)
Updated: 2005-10-08 06:57

THE HAGUE, Netherlands: The “Landwind,” the first Chinese car to go on
sale in Europe, has proved itself to be safe after passing a crash test
in Germany, the company says.

“The result of this crash test is very encouraging,” Peter Bijvelds, the
Dutch importer of the Chinese sports utility vehicle, told a press
conference on Thursday in the Hague, the Netherlands.

“The crash test measurements for both driver and passenger confirm that
this vehicle is fully compliant with current EU regulations,” said
Bijvelds.

The positive result from the test, organized by German inspection agency
TUV in Frankfurt, contradicts the conclusion of another crash test by
German car club ADAC in September.

The ADAC said its crash test indicated that the driver would not survive
a head-on collision at speeds of 64 kilometres per hour or more.

The front of the SUV would crumple and crush the driver, the unofficial
organization said.

Bijvelds, however, questioned the validity of the first crash test and
even suggested the ADAC were manipulated by the powerful German
automotive industry, which could want to find a way to keep Chinese
competitors from entering the market.

Bijvelds said that it was “a great coincidence” that the results of the
ADAC crash test were published on the eve of the Frankfurt car show,
where the cheap Chinese SUV was officially unveiled. It has now been on
sale in Europe for three months.

He also said it was strange that the manufacturer was not informed of the
test results, as is usually the case to help manufacturers learn and
improve their vehicles.

“We, as the official importer, had not been informed before the test and
we were not invited to be present when the test was performed. Upon our
request for further information, there was only silence,” he said.

In response to the ADAC’s warning, Landwind’s maker, China’s Jiangling
Group, asked the German agency TUV to test the vehicle to see if it
complied with European safety standards.
