    Seems fitting: the Dakar has become some cheap, fake hazardous copy of the original event, much like this car is a cheap, fake, more dangerous copy of several 4X4s on the market. #chinesecars

    I think me, on a 1983 Honda XL125S has a better chance than this does, of finishing Paris-Dakar. #chinesecars

    Never heard of "Rely"...but I have heard of the X5. Let's hope whomever pilots this first-gen-Highlander (in profile) lookalike is more skilled than the average driver of the BMW version. #chinesecars

    Well, good for them. This will be a good outlet to prove they are not just lead lined death traps (although it would make for a macabre yet captivating sight if one crashed - a bit like NASCAR).

    I can't help but be a bit critical of their effort given the glaring disregard for trademarks and the persistent usage of other brands designs... case and point is that there are big "X5" decals plastered over the car and the company logo mimics the Infinity logo.

    The old saying was that Lexus product design began in Munich... Well, I guess for the Chinese companies product design begins anywhere but China. #chinesecars

    I feel worse for Kamui Kobayashi than for anyone else, including Yamashina.
    But it would be fun to see a Japanese driver in a Ferrari some day... #formulaone

    OH COME ON!

    With all the other constructors gone Renault had a shot at WINNING A RACE for once.

    So much for making me proud. #f1

    @Arcweld Your Soul: Renault did win a couple of races.... in the back of a car driver by a German for an Austrian energy drink company. #f1

    I haven't seen this much high dollar pulling out since I spent a weekend at Club Med.

    Alonso was the only reason Renault did as well as they did this season - which wasn't very well at all. He won't be there next year. So Renault might find themselves mixing it up with Force India for last place honors.

    Or, they might be considering making an offer to Trulli. #f1

    It's not like Kobayashi was from a rich family so he can't continue in motor sports without someone coming to him. A normal dude with exceptional talent having go into a regular sushi job now.
    With so much talent that's not right. #formulaone

    Late to the party, but Bridgestone (another Japanese company) is pulling out of F1 after the 2010 season...
