Chinese SUV... Review - Best SUV in History!
Chinese 4x4 gets zero in safety test
Testers calculated that a driver would be unlikely to survive a head-on collision at 40mph, and in a side-on collision at 30mph the driver would suffer severe head and chest injuries due to a lack of side protection.
It is already on sale in Holland, Germany and Belgium and has been billed as the vanguard of a new invasion of Chinese vehicles.
The entire story:

Think the life of my worst enemy is still worth more then 10k, let alone my own life. Too bad people still buy this crap, let alone make it.
