Just goes to show, when something isn't engineered properly things can go badly wrong:

I know it is unlikely Chinese cars will ever reach our shores, but just proves how little testing and certification some of their products go through.

I'm sure there are loads of other good examples for knock-off goods...

Thats scarey!

[GoNz0]

ouch

[muddyfox470]

... and this is what they do to tshirts



I still can't believe the car though, you just have to be thankful for all the safety measures in place on our roads. From everything I see about the cars they drive in america, I am grateful for our MOTs to keep the bad cars off the road...

40mph? WTF!?

The amount of damage looks like it was a 100mph crash

Not unlikely, they just won't.

As they don't reach even the minimum safety standard for new cars in Europe, they can't be sold here.

Might be possible to import one privately, but why would you do that?
