Because 40 years ago every one will look down on the Japanese cars.But now they can compete with the American cars I think with the speed of Chinese going now, another 10 years , Chery will match with other Japanses cars.

So, those die hard supporters and blind defenders alike, don't "yucks-hu-hu-ha" about Chinese products as they give value for money. They won't sale low quality at high price. You want quality, they quote you "quality price" yet still competitive, and vice-versa. China is the superpower of 21st century, at least economically, if not militarily.

I say it's a very good effort from a company that's only 10 years old. Chery only started production in 1999 and by 2003, they were already designing their own cars and are now working to produce 18 engines! Proton supporters who kept on moaning that Proton is a "young" company should look at Chery and STOP saying Proton is young! Proton should feel the presure of global competion to improve, not protected and be complacent as they have been for so many years. Looks almost like an Infiniti.
