Exclamation Chinese Car Brands heading to Australia

It looks like we might have a flood of new Chinese car brands heading to Australia with the first already here being Great Wall Motors (GWM).

By the looks of the reviews i've been reading, they are a no no (ie. great wall x240 review), with poor... well everything.

I've been told the date is nearing for Australian importers to release the other Chinese brands shortly, these being:

Chery (4 new models +)
Lifan (4 new models +)
Geely (4 new models +)
BYD (1 new models +)

I wanted to know your thoughts on the currently sold Chinese made GWM vehicles here and also if a new trend will start for buying these cheaply made vehicles? Will cheaply made "disposible" cars that last 3-5years be the next step?

And if this trend does begin, will we see the decline in manufacturing quality from the other brands to meet a competitive cost?
