Yep. I'm testing the 2008 model.

I hope their tyres are better, I'm seriously considering a set of Mudstars

Where is the EPA when you need them - dig up all that beach pour a slab of concrete and paint it green, then lay some new beach sand on top.

Phew - Now we can be safe - after all we know that green is good and we will live healthier lives!

I'm pretty sceptical of most Chinese made stuff, but it does seem to be getting better all the time.

A guy I know recently installed a Chinese 2.4 stroker kit into his Mitsubishi 4g63 (Gallant VR4 motor) and it made 510hp! So far it has held up well and he kicks **** out on the track with very few cars able to beat him in the sprints! (The motor is in an early 70's Lancer, rwd thing)

We may have caned the nips into submission with an atom bomb to win the war but in the end they beat us with technology and cheap radios

As for the Chinese I blame this so called Global Economy for this situation and now we are infested with cheap **** that breaks 5 seconds after u buy it, mind u Paul Keating with his asian **** kissing didnt help the story much either

Mahindra are the largest tracotr manufacturers worldwide

Gee there is a lot of dissention regarding, chinese made products from aussie companies, it is a fact of life these days.
Whilst I may be wrong with what I have been told, the quality from factories over there is as good as anything western made that we know.
We are so absorbed with consumerism, that unless a brand name we have grown up with is on something we buy, we immediately have our suspicions on the product.
A case in point is aldi products, they are rebadged products we already know, but I have heard so many times , ' oh its no good doesn;t taste like X brand.where it probably is X brand.'

While I am not beating the drum for chinese products, the peasant over there buys the same sort of machinery that they sell here, they don't have the yuen /dollars that we have so things have to last. So shoddy is not in their best interests. The same for what rovercare said about mahindra tractors.

That $100 compressor I bought from superjoint 3 years back still goes, but all the fittings gave up in the first year and had to be replaced.

2 boxes of aldi brekky cereal had more weevils than tucker...

the samsung washing machine is rusting after 5 years...

...every computer monitor (all Asian, but with apple stickers) I've acquired new has given up within a year...

the jug in the kitchen (chinese) gets replaced every six months or so under warranty - up to the fourth one - which has the same prob as the previous three...

now see my rant about an ethernet switcher
