Personal Opinion:
I'm open minded in cars so I won't pick on Chinese cars. But they need something much better than this if they want to succeed. If you watch Jeremy Clarkson's car years, the Japanese swamped the world with cheap and reliable cars equipped with luxuries that others charge you extra for. They brought the US and UK motor industry to its feet to say the least. GM tried to compete Japanese cars on price by cutting corners, they failed. Land Rover had to move up market because the Toyota Land Cruiser was so damn reliable. Recently the Koreans are took that reliability factor to the next level with 7 year warranty and now they employ good designs and quality on their cars to make sure they have some sort to USP to brag about other than price and reliability that you also get in other brands.
The only problem for the Chinese is, what USP can they offer? Cheap is nothing when you can pick a better car in the used car dealer. Let alone with the lack of luxury and safety features it has.
