I like the response * Uses "organic" dampeners to absorb the impact for the passengers in the back*

I would rather hit a wall at 40 on a motorcycle, then be squished by 2 tons of metal. It is probably the first car that is less safe then a motorcycle. I dont know how that's possible, but the Chinese managed to do it.

Only the people stupid enough to buy it, so it's okay. Only thing that sucks is they're going to take their children with them...

Well if my 240 only got a medium size dent from a 2000 cavalier at 40mph that screwed up the cavalier royally I would have to say it might be scratched by the chinese SUV but then the cleanup of all the suv parts would take months like a plane crash lol.

At least there is good news....










You could save up to 15% on car insurance by switching to the Gecko!
No wait, on second thought, they wouldn't even insure that death trap. :cj:

We can take solace in knowing that this piece of shit will never grace OUR shores, becauseit wouldn't pass minimum DOT regulations to make it legal.

"The two-ton 4x4.... " Not that light my friend, then again WHERE is this 2 tons?! I fear for SUV's, driven by crazed soccer mom's with kenny G on the radio and pimple faced teens bitching on their cell phones in the back
