    Here's the problem with that vid.

    It's from 2007 and BMW did take that X5 copy to court and lost.

    Brillance recently scored zero point on a crash test on a new model after failing horrifically two years ago. Both times they're only comments were "it won't affect sales."

    Chinese cars are proof that when a state that totally violates international trade laws is allowed to bring their walmart like tactics to cars, consumers will really suffer.

    I personally think that over time they will build better vehicles. It is like all manufacturers, they have had bombs including tons of American models. Over time they have learned the ropes to make smarter decisions when it comes to building vehicles. The same as China will. I am sure that back in the day people thought people would suffer shen Japan started making cars, but guess what...I see more Japanese vehicles on the road than I do American. I personally would never buy an American car.

    That makes you look like a dumb consumer.

    Here's why. A country doesn't represent what kind of cars it makes. In the last couple of years, GM and Ford products have been right up there in initial quality and reliability when compared to Japanese, Korean, and European alternatives.

    The problem with China is that they are not trying to build cars. They are going after other companies and trying to sell you "the same thing" for less. The truth is not only is it not the same thing, it is an outright failure.

    The argument here is copying cars for the sake of copying cars.

    Consider this. You say you'd never buy an American car.

    Would you consider the Toyota Tundra and Camry as Japanese cars?

    What about the Pontiac GTO and G8?
