Yeah, check this thread out man! Hope you have a strong stomach! It's not pretty!

Chinese engineering really sucks!

Why kick off their nameplate with a gas guzzler? Odd choice for the Euro market.

That is an odd choice. They've never really liked SUVs, espiecally now with rising gas prices.

It wasn't the Chinese company's choice, it was the importer's choice. Trucks are easier to import and certify, and there's less competition at the low-end.

That's just wrong. Why the hell hasn't Isuzu sued? They could return to the black if they won.

It looks like a good clone of the old Rodeo/ Frontera... similar crash test results too.

It does look exactly like a Rodeo....

With over a billion people I guess safety is not that important...

LOL!!! That was funny but mean. What I don't understand is how a company can actually produce a vehicle like that. Isn't there any liability issues on producing pieces of **************** like that? The JiangLing thing crumbled like a chip under a fat guy. I mean it's disgusting.

I know it is, I meant why didn't they differentiate it more. Why would you want your first product to be a blatant rebadge?
