Everything under the sun seems to be made in China these days. You just can’t escape the fact that the Chinese government oppresses their people to insure they have the largest trade deficit with any nation in the world. Either way, though, the cliche “you get what you pay for” really applies in general when purchasing products made in China. This cliche seems to really apply with their new fangled entry into the automotive market. Apparently, one of their SUV’s just doesn’t cut the mustard. In fact, you’ll get smashed like mustard if you’re in one during an accident! According to tests ran in Germany, where this SUV is sold, this puppy ain’t going to do it for protection. Edmund’s article lifts a quote from the London Times, stating, “It had a catastrophic result,” said a spokesman for the ADAC. “In our 20-year history, no car has performed as badly.” Now for a country that has roads where you can go as fast as your putter will take you, I wouldn’t really want to be in one of these SUV’s when I slam the brakes and I have a big Mercedes Benz S420 on my tail. Wait, the said worst ever, right? I wouldn’t want to even chance it here in our country at 45 MPH! Would you?
