Soaring U.S. Car Prices Open Door to Low-Cost Chinese Imports

[PradoTLC]

A personal car is a emotional buy for most. Cost is not the only factor in western markets. Countries like India are very price sensitive but even here the tata nano failed because it was sold as the people's cheap car.
First time buyers didn't want to buy a "cheap" car.
My German employer used to always talk about giving the customer so much value in your product that they would be ready to pay more for it.

you cant compare indian cars with China... indian cars are just junk

Chinese are making head way in Dubai...

watch this review and learn something

It will take yrs for Chinese autos to prove themselves.

not really .. they are not reinventing the wheel... using proven tech.

After five or more yrs and you need a new car, if the Toyota served you well, would you risk tens of thousands of $$ on another brand? Maybe. But for most people, not likely.

That is what my dad generation said about Japanese cars and what I said about Korean....

in general if the price is cheap enough people will take a risk
