Default China car maker makes a crash in Europe!

China's Brilliance BS6 is a recent entry into the European market, positioned as a premium-style import sedan at a budget price. Well, after seeing the videos of the car undergoing crash testing using Euro NCAP guidelines at the ADAC (Germany's AAA, essentially) test center, one thing's certain: buyers get what they pay for.

It's CRAP

Check out the video.....

After reading the title of the thread I was wondering if The_President might have hacked in to your account.

Anyways, that looks like a pretty brutal way to end a drive. Note to self, don't buy a Chinese car.

This is the second strike for Chinese car manufacturers. The Jiangling Landwind X6, a reasonably priced SUV they were plannign to sell in Europe, had a bit of a bad crash test rating. However, the SUV didn't get just one star like the BS6. It got no stars. Naught!!!



My question: Why is there an airbag if the steering wheel will hit YOU in the face anyways (and they said it would likely break your neck)

Wow, just, wow...

Even if you hit another vehicle going 50 km/h you could still sustain fatal injuries in that thing.
