Hmmm thats interesting actually. These are the exact cars I was mentioning in my previous post. These things are sold under the "Equus" badge in Korea. Equus is the luxuary arm of Hyundai. Hmmm it seems they are actually re-badged Mitsu's! But these things are very big, Easily Falcadore size or greater. The link also shows the limo version. "Samsung" also sells cars in Korea, they are re-badged Nissan's. The Maxima is the SM7, then there is a mid sizer that is not sold here called the SM5. The SM5 is actually just a Maxima that is 15% smaller... looks pretty good and would sell well here. |

I dunno Holdens are practically made in China now and people still seem to lap up them. All a Chinese manufacturer would have to do is put a Kangaroo or something on the badge to make it appear Australian, sacrifice handling to make it really light by by having Lego sprung rear suspension or something and put a Nissan engine in it and you would have a "true Aussie car". Holden would have all it's sales taken overnight lol |

If they built an XR8 in China it would only weigh 1000kg cause Chinese cars are made from tinfoil, and would be throwaway after 2 years if you haven't already been killed in a 20 kph fender bender in it cause they are deathtraps. Thats if it hasn't already snapped in half when you pressed the throttle.

RRP Proudia 4.5L V8 = JPY6,400,000 = $65,300 RRP Dignity 4.5L V8 = JPY9,990,000 = $102,000 I wonder what they would be worth net of Japanese taxes? |
