Looks like SAIC are trying to build a huge empire...
LandRover and China - its a combination one wouldnt of thought about some years ago.
when you think about it,,
its an obvious Landrover enviroment,,
and the biggest potential car market in the world.
I tend to go with the general sentiment. There is some very good equipment coming out of China these days.
A TDV6, 6 spd auto, adapter for the series transfer case?
Just the ticket for an "upstaging" for a "79" 109 S3.
Of course the Brilliance BS6 may not be one of them, eh Grumpy? Anyway mate, what the?, it crashed mighty well, judging by the photo's.
Just as well nobody was in the damn thing.
Shorty.
Ahhh, the Brilliance Bull Shiit 6,
what a car!
Soon to be followed by one for the Aussie market:
The Brilliant Pigs Arrse 8.:twisted:
GQ
has a certain ring to it,,
"Pigs **** 8"
Thats cause no one in the English speaking world wants a Freelander so they are trying to flog them to the Chinese.:eek:

I wouldn't hold my breath for massive price drops if the Chinese buy it and manufacturer it.
I would think that quality and reliability would improve in couple of years once they get the hang of making the thing
The level of electronic gimicks are likely to increase within the model as asians seem to liek that sort of thing
actually its the best selling car in its class in England,,Quote:

Just think of those reliable Defender/ Disco alternators that we haven't seen yet! Maybe even water resistant starter motors, who knows.
