Nevertheless, in time they'll sort themsleves out. And as I've said previously, just like the Koreans learned quicker then the Japanese, the Chinese will learn even faster. Globalisation (R&D sharing, parts sharing etc.) will facilitate this. And soon enough, the Indians will also be in on the act.

Mr. Moore, are you by any chance an Auto Analyst? You're always offering up interesting articles on the 'business' side of the Industry.
I am, although it seems I do it for very little money these days. Doesn't matter, though - I've always followed the industry very closely whether I was getting paid to do so or not. Here is the follow-up we printed in April - go - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

And as mentioned, one of the frequent posters (Bruce McCulloch) on this site is one of my contributing writers - he's does a good job, too.

BTW, always looking for more contributors in terms of writing. If you or anyone you know is interested, contact me and we'll talk about it.

Lastly, drop by the site when you can - lots of interesting articles up, and we also just added a whole new section where people can list their cars for sale online, and most importantly, it is absolutely free.

The first reported dumping of the Brilliance BS6 has taken place in Belgium, where dealer Karel Cardoen has halted sales of the car in the wake of its horryfing crash test conducted by Germany's ADAC. In perhaps the understatement of the year, Automotive News Europe quotes Cardonen as saying, "We don't think this car is good to sell in Europe."

The BS6, for those of you new to the story, is a Chinese luxury sedan and recent arrival into the European automobile market. It recently flunked the ADAC crash tests in spectacular fashion, and In the wake of that fiasco, the automaker said that it didn't feel the poor crash results would have a negative impact on sales.

So much for that. Cardoen's dealership was one of just three that were offering the car to European customers. The remaining two are both in Germany. Cardoen said he'll reconsider his position if the safety of the car improves.
