And ya'll thought I was just joking around about the "Chummer" that's now made in China.

Re: OT...chebaneese motors?
I didn't watch all of it but from rumblings in the past it's not really anything new. I will say I'm pretty sure GM won't leave the US. They are a global business, the same as Ford and I'm sure all domesticly shared companies are trying for the huge upcoming Chinese market.
Personally even with the heavily subsidized industiral base I'm not too sure how long it'll take before the global resizing finally hit China so I wonder how big of a market there will be.
Should be interesting.

Re: OT...chebaneese motors?
From what I found Ford is selling the Global Ranger in Asia. Its a midsize truck halfway between the Ranger and F150. Pretty much the F100 they decided not to release here. If its made in China you could call it Chord Motor Company. Have you driven a Chord lately? 
Actually the reviews I read are from Down Under. I need to take a vacation and pick one up mate.

Re: OT...chebaneese motors?
Even if the Ford was "Made in China" I would not but it. It seems that most things I buy made in China are just plain junk.

Re: OT...chebaneese motors?
That is a horrible shop job. Did Ford actually release that as a publicity photo LOL.
That said I like Chinese guns, but then again the arms of totalitarian regimes have to function; it's the only way they can stay in power.

Re: OT...chebaneese motors?
I dont know if that pic was from Ford but I assume so. Heres a link to an Aussie site. Apparently its available there but of course the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
