    First the f-18, and now this. What with a black president and all, this apparently ain't a good time to be a wasp.

    If you flip this thing over does it actually say "Made in China" on the bottom?

    I think they (Auto Sohu and China Car Times) heard the bell tolling, but don't know where the pendulum hangs*.


    China is going to be a mayor player in the next 24 months.

    @sos10: What does Johan Cruijf understands of car business.

    Aparently "hij heeft de klok horen luiden maar weet niet waar de klepel hangt"

    @BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ - Spreading the Christmas Spirit: He doesn't, but he famously abused that dutch quote you nicely translated in perfect dutch into this: "he (this player) heard the clock tick, but doesn't know what time it is…"which makes no sense at all.

    @htrodblder: You are thinking of a Bee:


    Hornets-


    sting you, then go back to the nest to get reinforcements, and return to sting you some more. It's what they do.

    @graverobber- My Yugo Nova!: Actually, hornets sting you, you're probably already at the nest, messing with it. They are remarkably timid insects, and not well equipped or well motivated to sting vertebrates. They normally sting other insects for food, and very rarely can be coaxed to sting unless the whole colony is disturbed.

    So what you're saying is that even though this could be an awesome little car, Chrysler is incapable of building it without Chinese help. Chrysler is in trouble. QED.

    @Tanshanomi: Chrysler is incapable of building this car *profitably*...that's the part people fail to understand. For a car this small, consumers would never be willing to pay what it would cost Chrysler to build it.

    @mzs: The original poster specified "without Chinese help." If built with Chinese labor and materials, yes, sure. If built in North America it would be a money loser.

    That's just great because what Chrysler DOESN'T need right now is a compelling fuel-efficient car built with 29¢/hour labor.

    Since the Big 3 have fallen victim to people who make choices based on what feels good instead of good business strategy, any partnership with a Chinese company as part of a restructuring seems wholly unlikely.
