Photo of the Day: Chery to hit the US market

chery.jpg
We told you about Chrysler's cooperation with Chery not so long after it got sued by GM Daewoo for the imitation of its Spark minicar. And now it is official. Chrysler and Chery have just signed a deal to develop small and sub-compact cars for sale in North America and Europe. In the first quarter of next year, Chrysler will begin by selling the Chery A1 in the US. The 1.3-liter A1 costs as little as 53,800 yuan ($7,100) in China whereas Chrysler's least expensive U.S. model is the $13,850 Dodge Caliber.

    No, there are none. But NYC deli (a sandwich place) has a decent burrito on the weekends, look at Shanghaiist's archives.

    'twas a china brilliance bs6 sedan at a 40mph frontal offset. chinese, but not chery. people will still buy the bs6 though, cuz it's all about the benjamins baby.



    but seriously though, the problem with china isn't in its manufacturing, it lies within its qc. foreign companies that have supervision over the manufacturing with chinese labor can still do alright.



    at the price point they'll end up selling at, the chery will become the new kia in the us, with the kia becoming the new hyundai, and hyundai becoming the new toyota, and so on and so forth.'



    god i want a big-ass burrito, any good mexican spots in shanghai?

    The model looks like she just walked out of Final Fantasy 15, or whatever they're up to by now.

    It doesn't look half bad, but I still wouldn't want to drive it.

    There is a German video of this same car completely crumpling in a 35 mph corner impact crash test. I think it achieved a rating of "1 star" from the EU because unlike other chinese car crash tests, the dummies weren't ejected from the car. The back seats also came uncoupled from the car, which is not good for infants.



    Even with Chrysler, it will be at least 5 years before a chinese car hits US roads.
