Jiangling Landwind X6

[Spinal]

Howdy! As somew of youknow, I recently came back from a fair in China. Anyways, at this fair, I met some producers, and one of them was Jianling... they offered a car called the Landwind X6 (looked quite copied from a toyota... but thats beside the point)

Anyways, my point is, I cam across some crash tests of the car... quite... worthless! It scored 0!!!

Is that an old Vauhall Fronterra

Thats seriously bad........especially the last video of the steering column....it would take your head, clean off.

People would be better off spending their money on an old Merc instead.

Looks suspiciously like one...however even the Frontera, utterly dire as it was, managed to squeak 3 stars in the NCAP ratings.

Chinese motor companies seem to copy designs from all manufacturers and claim them as their own. Honda sued one of them as they copied the design of the CR-V. It was almost identical! Then the Chinese company counter sued Honda saying they (Honda) copied the Chinese company first, despite the CR-V being released several year before.
They also manufactured a fake S-Class...
Gonna do a Google...

In China they used to have birth control and cull the population that didn't agree with the state, now they give them a Landwind X6.

This is more pallatable to the Western World.
