lemosley01 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Wow - I know that cars are supposed to collapse some to absorb the impact, but that thing folded like a noodle. Did anyone notice how far the steering wheel moved in toward the driver? Jesus. I'm guessing this will be a 'disposable' car, like pretty much all of the other shit that is 'Made in China'. Appears to me they think it's occupants are also disposable. Wait until they get introduced to the American landsharks (lawyers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 did you see how far the front wheel went back in?!?! looks like it is in/through the firewall! diffenetly forwarding to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Is that thing made of tinfoil? I think an escort would eat that thing alive in a head on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Is that thing made of tinfoil? Effectively, yes. The Chinese are very good at reverse engineering. If you give them a car, like a Kia Sportage, that can reproduce it to-the-bolt. The problem is, China is the singularity in the "Shittiest-ass-metal-on-earth" black hole, it all ends up there. I garauntee you that every cubic millimeter of steel, iron, aluminum, and whatever else possible is recycled. They build things cheaply as possible, but usualy just get it barely acceptable....usualy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 best part is that's only like a 30mph crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 that thing is really crappy if it folded that bad at 30mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 man... i bet i could head on that thing and totally destroy it. Mean while, i get pissed off because my fender is bent up and i spilled Sprite all over my seat belt and ski jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 If that thing is that bad, why are they available for sale. Arent there regulations in those countries on motor vehicle safety standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 If that thing is that bad, why are they available for sale. Arent there regulations in those countries on motor vehicle safety standards. In china, they pretty much dont care, plenty more people where that came from. They want auto accidents to replace land battles as a means of population control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
large_x7 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yeah, it debuted at the Frankfurt auto show last month. But there's already a bunch of legal types trying to prevent it from being sold in the EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 JiangLing Is currently crying "haterz!" and saying there is bias against them in Europe, and that the test results were scewed.....skewed like the dashboard in the drivers face.

Conesmasher Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 If they haven't made it already, Hyundai is looking more and more like a reputable car company. On a side note: WHAT THE FUCK, that thing shriveled up faster than a 50 year old cock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
