Snippet: Geely, a privately owned carmaker, hopes to start selling vehicles in Puerto Rico next year and on the U.S. mainland in 2008. Another automaker, state-owned Chery Automobile Co., also plans to sell cars here in 2008.
Geely, Chery and the three carmakers preparing to bring cars to Detroit are not among China's largest automakers, but they are among the most aggressive in an industry that is still in the early stages of a shakeout.
Changfeng, Great Wall and Zhongxing could begin shipping vehicles to the United States as early as next year, although 2008-2009 is more likely, said auto dealer Richard Genthe, who was co-chairman of the 2006 show.

China's finaly done it i think they've managed to get the little made in china sticker on pretty much every kind of object ever made.
Not sure how these Chinese cars will sell in the U.S anyone here if they were thinking of importing these cars into Canada?

Malcolm Bricklin is at it again. LOL
He had success with Subaru but Yugo was a big flop. I just hope the Chinese get their quality up to par before they launch with sub-standard cars.
