chinese engineering get's crash test dummy PWNED!!!

[redsamurai]

This is good shit.............and american engineering companies are wanting to export engineering jobs to hong kong where they can pay an engineer 10k/year............well..............these guys are top flight, just look at the video...........

with a steering wheel/dashboard appetizer?? I love that it had an airbag...........like what's the point? Lull you to your death with a nice billowing white pillow right before the whole front of the car comes through your face?

our model t's were pretty shitty too when we were in our infancy.

chinese car companies are latecomers on the market. still lots of learning to do.

but once they mature and obtain the intellectual talent needed - lookout. walmart will be selling reliable 40mpg sedans at $4k a pop. whatever left of the american auto industry will be thrown to the garbage pail.

and good riddance. payback for years of creating shitty ass cars and sticking us with expensive auto repairs.

Don't get me started on fucking china.

Great, we are going to have a bunch of desolate urban areas in America when all the car manufacturers close down and a bunch of human road kill from driving their shitty cars. I PROMISE I will fucking WALK before I buy a Chinese made car.

Razorguns, you really are missing the whole damned point. The AMERICAN car companies are outsourcing the work. It is still the American car companies, they just found a way to fuck us on quality and safety. The ones who are getting screwed are the American workers and the American public not the manufacturers. They will be boosting profits at everyone's expense. You think they are going to use those profits to help the communities that they destroy with their outsourcing? No. I don't think so.

Since you are so gung ho on Chinese imports though, I'll ship you some lead paint toys to give your kids, some toothpaste they make with anti-freeze, and you can pack it all in a Chinese car with a 1 star safety rating and drive cross country.

I swear I answered to a thread just like this one with a smart-ass remark, like "I like Chinese girls..." or something like that.

o shit, that's negative star crash ratings. they shouldn't even be allowed to be sold.

Walking can be great exercise for fatties...

Remember how we put Japan into a corner by not allowing imports they needed
prior to Pearl Harbor ?

I see the same thing happening with China's exports to some percent,
and them getting pissed about it.

dude, I understand they're not going to be making the best cars right off the bat..........but also remember that when we were building model T's, we were the only ones who had ever built a car. So it was from scratch. The chinese have almost a whole century of car making and manufacturing that they can glean from. I'm sure they bought foreign cars and dissected them to build on to with their own cars.........that's what the Japanese did, but the Japanese "IMPROVED" performance and safety. How hard is it for an engineering dpt. to go get a camry or some other vehicle with a good crash test rating and dissect it to figure out crumple zones and whatnot. I mean watch the video again, the entire front end of the car collapses into the driver............it's over, off to the sweet hereafter. Those cars have almost a ZERO survivability factor.

Im curious to know what speed that crash test was done at. Is there a standard speed for that specific test? If that car was going slower than 40mph its pathetic. Either way definetely not a survivable crash.
