I think a Smart can withstand a <40mph crash better than that!

I don't think any american/japanese/european/korean automaker has to worry about the chinese brands anytime soon..

Haha, I predict he will lose alot of money on it.. I don't think I'd recommend anyone buy a Chinese deathtrap unless I wanted them dead or something. First the Landwind, now this..

They'll have to approve before they'll be allowed in this country I'd imagine.

Give them time and they'll learn to steal designs of crash structures from real car companies.
