    It’s OK to to teach to drive stick in a graveyard, but that’s..... not OK. It still seems like a jerk move to hoon in a graveyard.

    And I’m not exactly a strict follower of the “drive the speed limit” rules.

    But if they don't see me doing it, which they wouldn't, because of course I'm not gonna be doing laps around a grave someone is mourning, they won't be upset. What they don't know can't hurt them.
    I definitely understand where you're coming from, but the way I see it, as long as there isn't anyone around to piss off, it's just the same dirt and asphalt (and rotting corpses) as anywhere else.
    The real concern is sliding off the road and running over headstones, which, as I said before, would be inconvenient for all parties.

    Am I the only one who finds the car very awkward to look at?

    The design does have a very interesting look, I'll give it that.

    I mean, think about it. If you were to wrap your car around a tree in a graveyard, you wouldn't necessarily have very far to go, now would you?

    I'd rather be put on a rocket and shot into space than buried in the ground, tbh. But that's a topic for a different thread.

    Better than most SUV coupes out there imo, but still not great. Looks kinda like their Panamera Shooting Brake but with a square rear.

    Thought this was a really interesting and succinct story about a British Audi TV advert.


    And yes, we have very strict TV advertising laws in the UK. Not just for cars, but for most things. To give a "non-car" example, adverts for foods which are high in fat, salt or sugar are completely banned during children's TV programming. So no candy, crisps (chips to some nations) or chocolate adverts are allowed when children's programs are on TV. You are also not allowed to ask children to buy something, or even suggest that children should ask their parents to buy something for them. Equally "Advertisements must avoid anything likely to condone or encourage poor nutritional habits or an unhealthy lifestyle".

    Zotye’s bringing this to the US market.
    Volkswagen’s gonna be enthralled by this development, I’m sure.

    I know we already have China built cars here... But they were built to the expectations of the brand they were made for.

    This is a true China engineered car... I'm skeptical.

    I did read it can be had with the Mitsubishi 4G63 and could possibly come in a manual, so that's something.

    I know how much everyone loves the term "nanny state" but I think it applies here. Those are some very overbearing rules.

    Apparently some of these new China engineered vehicles aren't bad, particularly those designed for export.
    Not that I expect it'll be anything special either, but when you consider how stringent the safety tests are, it's got to at least be okay in that regard and then engine/gearbox wise they use recycled parts

    Yep, usually leads to some pretty shitty car adverts
