We're waiting for the eventual emergence of Chinese automakers as exporters more ominous and less hilarious than they are now. But with just 745 sales in Europe this year (mostly to Italians), they've got a long way to go. [ChinaCarTimes] More »

Given never ending concerns over Chinese quality, completing the punishing cross-continental Dakar Rally could send the right message. Both Greatwall and Geely are planning to enter the race as a proof-of-competency in vehicles that at least look like Pajeros. [ChinaCarTimes] More »

Now that the Beijing Olympics are over and the need to reduce the capital’s smog is gone, Chinese car makers can get back to doing what they do best: copying successful western car designs while cranking out the clones super cheap. We admire China’s style; why fuss over safety, performance or emissions when all consumers really want is a look? MonsterAuto.ca gives us their six favorite Chinese car clones, along with useful comparo shots so you don't find yourself leaving the Benz dealer in a BYD F8. MonsterAuto More »

Great Wall, a company largely known as the leading Chinese authority on skillful reuse of intellectual property, has unveiled something that can gently be called unique - the Great Wall Kunna. The Kunna is an all-electric runabout operating on a 48V power system good for about 87 miles at a blazing top speed of 40 MPH. Despite that swoopy body work and those handsome LED headlights, the icing on this cake is the stylized panda apparently included in the package. Expect Fiat to sue Great Wall over cuteness infringement. More »

Now that almost everyone would drive a Japanese and now a Korean car, it's worth asking if you all would drive a Chinese car. In fact, given all that's coming out at this year's explosive Beijing Motor Show, it is a harder question than it has been in the past. Though there are questions of quality and originality, cars like the Geely GT do capture the imagination. With the Koreans moving up-scale, it is quite possible the cheaper-than-thou market is opening up. We all like value. More »

Let's say you're shopping for a big pickup truck for your ranch but just don't like the stuff coming out of the Motor City or the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Well, plop your ten-gallon hat on your head and saddle up one of these here Great Wall Wingles, cowboy! Don't pay no mind to them tenderfoot city boys who say Chinese vehicles are deathtraps that won't even run long enough to get you killed in the next county- the Wingle is all about those who, in the words of its manufacturer, "Brilliant achievements in their careers enjoy life passion." Available Wingle colors include Milky White and Fashionable Orange. Yeehaw! [Great Wall Motor Company] More »

The bosses at Fiat are apparently none too pleased with the wily copycats over at Great Wall. The Chinese automaker has aroused the Italians' ire with it's new Peri, which Fiat claims is a virtual copy of its Panda subcompact, and is threatening legal action. Great Wall's got 90 dealerships in the European nation, and is expected to up that figure to 110. We'll be interested to see how this one shakes out. – Davey G. Johnson More »

Wow, what a great Idea. A small, economical car, whose block-like shape is both a symbol of its quirk and the reason for its utility. The kids will totally eat it for breakfast. Or maybe it'll be 55-year-old men. Eh, who cares, it'll sell like hotcakes. Kudos, Great Wall motors of China. – Mike Spinelli More »

Earlier this year, the Peeps 'Public of Chizza presented Cuban cigar chomper Fidel Castro with a superfly Great Wall Hover limo. In honor of the Guangzhou motor show happening on the other side of the globe, let's check the shit out, read me? Based on the Hover SUV, which may or may not be a reverse-engineered Mitsubishi, the Spirit limo is 22' long and is powered by a Mitsu-sourced 2.4-liter four (carumba!), and is fitted with leather seating and accoutrements, a bar with refrigerator, flatscreen TV with DVD, and a stereo system with MP3 capability. Plus, we'd imagine, a silver-plated holder for the people's cigar. Click through for more pics. [Thanks to Ian for the tip.] More »

Following the Landwind fiasco, another Chinese automaker is taking heat for making an end run around EU safety regs. Great Wall Automobile plans to launch the Hover SUV and Deer 4x4, both phenomenally-named vehicles that Great Wall is hoping will hover and bound their way to 12,000 sales a year, primarily in Spain and Italy at first. However, the vehicles are being imported on a license for commercial vehicles, thus conveniently exempting them from crash tests. We think it can go without saying that the Benelux Badasses of Brussels aren't havin' any o' this nonsense. More »
