Wouldn't you rather drive a Chery?

Just saw that Daimler/Chrysler is in talks with the Chinese car company Chery.

Watch out for the Chinese invasion soon...

Here comes the Geely, Chery and Great Wall..

The future doesn't bode well for them if they are getting advice from the man who brought us the Yugo.

We know what a huge success that was..

My prediction- initially there will be a huge anti-Chinese car sentiment, backed up by a rash of quality control problems, and safety concerns. It won't last, and they will sell fairly well after a while.

You won't see my name on the title to one, though.
