Default Chinese 4x4 gets zero in safety test

Not all Asian manufactured cars are better.

The sad part is it's just a copy of the old Isuzu Rodeo / Honda Passport.

I've heard they are simply copying many other cars including our domestics and making minor insignificant changes but undercutting by x $$$.

I guess you can do that while paying workers $0.75 per day.

What did you expect? I have yet to own something made in China that last and is of good quality. That's why when it breaks i don't get upset because it cost next to nothing to replace... but if it breaks too often then it's not worth it.

You get what you pay for that's it.

Looks like an Explorer behind the guy in the picture.

You've got to seriously wonder about someone who considers this to be a good buy. A ZERO safety rating?
