I could see why a couple of the Chinese makers would want it. It could probably speed their entry into the market by another 12-18 months.

Man, if the US makers thought competing with Toyota was tough...

I flew to Dallas last month and was reading an article about a Chinese automaker. They had created a "first-run" (not a prototype) luxury car that was being compared to a Lexus. They felt they could get adequate profit out of it by retailing it in the US for around NINETEEN THOUSAND.

I heard of a sport coupe they had for $10,000 also.

My people tell me that Buick is the car of choice in China.
