autoblog.com — Russian car magazine AutoRevu had a Chery Amulet sedan crash-tested in accordance with the EuroNCAP standards. After going through the frontal offset crash, the dummy in the Amulet had to be removed in pieces, and the magazine, AvtoRevu, is now calling for the car to be pulled from the market.

Pointing out a culture of corner-cutting is not necessarily Sinophobic. I used to work at a Taiwanese owned electronics company. We had a particular modem that would constantly fail and require replacement. After I finally asked management why they continued to use this modem I was told that it was $5 cheaper than the competitor's. Had they done a cost-benefit analysis on how much the repairs were costing them, or how many sales were being lost as customers told other customers what a POS we were selling? No.

Because, when there's a chance to point out, with a real-world example, just why it is that you free-market idiots are actually idiots, the opportunity needs to be taken.

Most of those Chinatowns have those sketchy Driving Schools that have connections with the local DMV... So you can pay them off to receive a passing grade for the road test. That's another reason why you would see some ppl in those communities who can't drive for sh*t.

If they can't even make safe dog food then why is it a surprise they can't make safe cars? I'd feel safer on a motorcycle than a Chinese car.

And to think, that was only at around 3mph. Imagine if that had been 65mph!
