2005Explorer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Very impressive crash test showing on the new Chinese sedan, the Brilliance BS6, which is the first sedan to go on sale in Europe. Click the link...I think you will agree that this car is right up with the new Taurus in terms of safety. :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: :hysterical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F06LjugtIUo...ted&search= I hope you enjoyed that safety presentation.

2005Explorer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Double post. http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index...showtopic=14519 Sorry about that...oh well it probably doesn't hurt people to see it again...especially the ones that keep saying...watch out for the Chinese in a year or two.

Very enlightening. The Chinese cannot even make a safe, high-quality dog food or toothpaste. I doubt we have much to be concerned about with their vehicles.

NickF1011 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I wonder how many stars that is? :D Do the star ratings go into negatives? I think the Amulet is so unsafe that if they made a hearse version it could kill the corpse in the back AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 It's gonna take more than an "Amulet" to protect the unlucky victim in that car, but then again...sometimes you gotta wonder, "They are asking for it" so how can you sympathize... It'll take the Chinese over a decade or 2 to shed the stigma associated with their products, and of course you'll always find a sucker that will buy into it, probably subprime credit customers will be their first victims. Who knows, maybe they'll work a deal with Walmart, so you can purchase them at your local Walmart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should call it the "Casket" instead of the "Amulet" You would be much better off buying a used Taurus then a new Amulet if you wanted to be safe. Here is another video of the Brilliance and it does appear to be a brilliant car! Too bad I can't understand a word they are saying because I would have loved to hear what the importer had to say about the car. Maybe someone here will understand it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vC-JPdVTCo...ted&search= Edited July 27, 2007 by 2005Explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying they never saw a car's chassis bend from such a low impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPony Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Maybe the Chinese are just trying to make it easier to crush them so that we can send them back and make new crashmobiles to sell here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Starr Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I did hear in there... 'Cat-ahh-straw-FEEK' at the 0:22 mark. I am no French speaker but I can take a good guess that ain't good :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bored of Pisteon Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) What a disaster! :cheerleader: Where's the liberal scum in the news media and everywhere else? You'd think they'd be the first ones to shout about the "safety of the children". :bowdown: Anybody that dares to buy a Chinese made car deserves their fate. :rip: :titanic: I'll stick to my 30 year old Ford products thank you!

Somehow I do believe that a '78 Fairmont would do much better in these tests then the new Chinese cars did.

Sixt9coug Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Or a 1980 Ford Fiesta! :happy feet: kind of like the low speed bumper tests a few months back where an 81 Escort did the best in the 5mph damage tap compared to the 07 models?

suv_guy_19 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 kind of like the low speed bumper tests a few months back where an 81 Escort did the best in the 5mph damage tap compared to the 07 models? We all know (or should) that that has nothing to do with crash safety. New cars are MUCH safer than anything that came before them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Oh I wouldn't say just that though... If you gave me the option between some 60's-70's land-yacht Caddy, and some little Kia in an accident against each other...Hmmm I would rather be in the Caddy, don't care how old it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
