Looks like it's made out of plastic. I'm going to be rich if I decided to become an auto mechanic in the next 2-3 years lol

Won't they get in trouble with Mercedes for doing that? It's like an almost exact replica of a Benz, but with cheap parts and ghetto unpainted door handles.

I see it as analogous to Kia and Hyundia. Its cars will probably really only appeal to Chinese people at first, but if it does a good job of pricing and options/warranty, it'll start to grow like their Korean counterparts

this is why china won't go to war with North Korea. they still wants to be industrialized so they try to cling to US and be nice to us. if they join North Korea, all their hopes and dreams of economic success won't happen.
