For years now, we've been saying the Chinese are coming. In case you haven't noticed, they have yet to arrive. For the second year in a row, Changfeng Motor held a press conference in Detroit to discuss its latest models and announce its intentions to start selling cars in the U.S. And for the second year in a row, it appears as though it's not any closer to selling cars in the U.S...
Looks like we'll have to wait another year for the Leopard CS6. We are not disappointed. -- Ed Hellwig, Senior Editor, Inside Line

"We are not disappointed"
Neither am I. Chinese cars have a long way to go before anyone will give them a serious look.

Given they quite often tend to clone other makes, the answer is probably "yes, but the real thing". :P

alman08 - I'll tell you the same thing that I always say when people ask why I hate Chinese cars.
I don't need to drive one to know that they completely suck.

doesn't cost that much to fly to China now a day, why don't you go there, rent one, drive one, and come back with a more valid opinion?

I am Chinese myself, I am not disappointed either! Please do not bring these things over, no Chinese cars, nor do I wanna to see any cars from India...! What's with those Chinese models, if you know your cars are not attractive enough, should at least try harder bringing in some hot looking models to get some traffic going!
