Before anyone writes this off as another all show no go. The Qoros 3 sedan scored a 5 star NCAP safety rating in 2013 and had one of the overall highest scores of the year.

BUt of course, let's not kid ourselves, there is the huge barrier of perception, especially here in Asia where even Korean makes have to compete on the price / value for money front instead of the lust factor. Will China finally be able to come in and compete with Koreans now?

exterior catching up is easy by copy & paste

It's a joint venture between Chinese car maker Chery and Israel Corp. If Israel can make weapons, tanks and signal sets why not a car?

 

You cannot underestimate their potential.

Actually, engine and GB can just buy off shelves, just like some Infiniti comes with MB engine, some European cars come with Jap Aisin GB etc. It's the seamless piecing up and working together harmoniously as a piece of driving machine that is more important.

That's true. There are so many well establish 3rd party car parts makers out there. Almost everything can be bought off the shelf to piece a car together. Suspension(so many aftermarket brands), gearbox(ZF, Getrag, Aisin...), Engines, Sensors and ecu (Bosch), Headlights/tail-lights(Philips), etc etc.
