About the only consolation is that when I was in Southern China (Jiangmen) earlier in the year (Feb 2010), I think I spotted only 1 or 2 Chinese made cars.
My Dad says there's a saying. "Chinese cars are great for the first year. After that, everything makes noise except the horn."
Even Chinese people won't buy Chinese cars.

OMG, they need to stop trying so hard to copy everyone's old designs
It really looks like an old riced-out Hyundai Santa Fe.

Huatai have acquired the rights to make the Hyundai Sante Fe in China from their joint venture partner Hyundai. Huatai have been making the Sante Fe, and the Terracan SUV in China for several years now, and have received permission from Hyundai to rebadge the Terracan, and the Sante Fe as their own vehicles. The trouble is, Huatai didnt get an engine with the deal, and dont have any engines of their own. The solution was simple, go shopping for one! Huatai approached SAIC with regards to dropping the 1.8 Turbo assisted KV6 K-series engine from MG-Rover into the SUV, which will now be known as the Huatai Sante Fe.
