We laugh now and rightfully so, but we'll all be driving Chinese cars in the next 20-30 years one way or another.

I am offended by the stance of the car.

Corolla lines all over the place. Wheel gaps higher than the MK5 GTI.

I'm not laughing. Remember Hyundai's first years in America? They lasted less than one winter season where the roads are salted! Some people still will never buy another car from them. But it looks like a majority of us like 'em now.

<Mr Smith voice on> It is inevitable.

Corolla.
Even the steering wheel control buttons are straight from a Camry.
I also want to see a crash test vid.
If it passes DOT crash regulations, I wouldn't mind getting a cheap DD.
