I'm a cheap-ass to the nth degree...and you will NEVER see me buying a Chinese car. Far too many reputable companies producing quality products to select this garbage. :thumbdown:

There's just one problem: none of the people who won have real Facebook profiles and all of them are either BYD employees or linked to BYD employees. The grand prize winner? He's the company's foreign social media manager.

 

A tip from one of the contestants alerted us to a number of questionable facts about the six winners of the contest. Many of them were friends with each other on Facebook as well as employees of BYD. One name, Figo Ju, popped up in conjunction with nearly every winning Facebook account.

 

so none of them had Facebook profile, but they were all Facebook friends? me thinks someone is lying.
