Chinese Cars Cloning

[GTi]

Sure, China is big, wealthy and powerful. But is that all that they can do. It took Korea only a short while to reach their current status wherein they are now making their own designs and manufacturing their own engines and transmissions, and it is worth noting that at the time they started, they didn't have much cash. Now, compare China to the country they are picking on- Taiwan. They are a dimunitive country, with financial capabilities much less than Japan, China and Korea. Look at their Luxgen 7 MPV. Collaboration with Germany produced an excellent car with a 2.2 liter turbocharged gasoline engine, good styling made by their very own, iDrive like driving interface... What can you say?

It's a misconception that the china cars main competitors are the japanese and korean cars. They are actually competing against each other in the same target market which is the more affordable cars.

no question about durability, japanese cars are more reliable, but come to think of it, how come bus operators nowadays are switching to chinese bus?

because with china the ROI will take them only 2 years, double that if japan. tried and tested na yan which means reliable din ang engine, parts are also available naman.

Sir I beg to differ, most of the bus company owners I've talked to have complained consistently about the frequency and high cost of maintenance of their chinese units. Most of the time they complain about consumable parts like clutch and brake linings. Running cost is definitely much higher than their japanese counterparts and will definitely overtake any savings made on the purchase price.

I totally hope NOT sir. that's what you get when you outsource your factories in china. they have ways to copy. these products are cheap and blatant disrespect for the rights of the original designers who painstakingly worked hard to come up with the original design.

China car makers bought used body panel stamping machines from foreign car makers

that's why they ended up with cars that look like cars made by foreign car makers

it's a learning process. first they learn how to make cars by copying, then later on they come up with original designs

buti pa China kesa Pinas. nasaan na ang yung overhyped na pinoy car?

China can mass produce automobiles

eh ang Pinas?
