The Cherry QQ3 was created to solve China's traffic problems by significantly reducing the population through unsurvivable crashes.

While the Chery QQ's early crash tests were horrible, there's one thing I'd like to point out...

Nothing can survive being sandwiched between two vehicles weighing ten times as much as they do. Locally, people have died in Everests, Honda Jazzes (and a Honda Jazz is a 5-star car), Hiaces (while sitting in the middle, not the death-trap front seat), etcetera... Princess Diana died in a 5-star Mercedes Benz (big, heavy, indestructible car) when it met an immovable object (pillar).

That said: yes, the QQ is not as safe as a modern Japanese or Korean car of the same size, but being destroyed by two buses doesn't exactly strike me as being a fault with the car... rather... just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Well, it's your life you're risking.

Just want to point out that Princess Diana died because she was not wearing her seat belt during the crash.

Critizing the Chery QQ as being horrific in crash safety standards, it is not too far from the "safety" standards of the Indian TATA Nano. Not really up to international car safety standards but safer than using a motorcycle/scooter in driving from point A to B.

Ah... details... details... Point still stands... 1 ton of sardine can meets two thirty ton piledrivers, hasta la vista, Baby.

I've seen too many flattened Sentras, Corollas and even SUVs to be even remotely surprised by the first video.

Of course... that's not to say that the QQ is even remotely safe compared to most modern cars...

In the case of Diana, the driver survived the crash. Same forces, difference was he had his seat belt on.

Well the point in case about Diana's death is clear. The driver who was at the front - seatbelt fastened - survived but Lady D and Dodi who were at the rear - didn't have their belts on - died instantly. In a 5 star car no less.

Seatbelts really make a difference clean and clear.

In the Chery QQ, you are part of the crumple zone. Seatbelts fastened or not.

This for me is simply unacceptable.

But then again so are tricycles

Nothing is safe... pag oras mo na, wala ka na kawala!

Details schmetails. He survived because he was secretly a British agent hired by the royals to kill Diana... though they should have let him die. He'll confess, eventually, I'm telling you...
