So, you are question my post, first with an "apparently" statement and also ask me to do the research for you? :confused:
There are several reports, star with the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) one ;)
Also Great Wall Motors and Chery vehicles took a hit in Australia in late 2012 when 21,000 Great Wall utes and SUVs and 2250 Chery passenger cars were recalled for having parts containing asbestos.
Google is your friend. :)
Mate, Europe doesnt have conditions anywhere near like here in Australia. Over there the roads(for the most part) are better. The distances to travel between different COUNTRIES, wouldnt even get you out of one of our larger STATES. Yes, i lived in the UK for 18 months and traveled widley through Europe, so i do not speak from ignorance. The Chinese cars just are not designed for the long distances and heat that the average Aussie puts his car through. Tried and true, Rangie, Deefa or Disco.... more reliable than vast majority of "cheap" imports. Cheers cobber, :)

Na i already know the answers, apparently you do not.
Asbestos, correct, Mitsubishi motors. were to blame not great wall.
You should know that ANCAP ADRs is a completely Australian thing, a vehicle that say get a high rating in Europe can get a low one in Australia. And visa versa. Just ask Vauxhall about the manaro. listen to the poms going on about the unsafe Australian rubbish with a crap safety rating.
Or the inability to get the land rover fitted children's seats in Australia, shame!!
But true safety costs. the more airbag you add the higher your ANCAP rating will be.
that a side, a disco 3 being a land rover has a very high ancap of 4 stars but Hay guess what a Great Wall X240 ( the SUV thing) and being Chinese must have a crap rating of only 4 stars
and only for a paltry $40 000 difference
Also, remember this?
Great Wall suspends sales of Chinese SUV New model pulled from sale twice, Australian debut unlikely.
Quote:
At least seven analysts cut their ratings on Great Wall and the company said the experience exposed its weaknesses in developing quality vehicles....
In its May 9 statement, Great Wall said it decided to halt sales of the H8 after after customers reported hearing ??knocking noises?? in the transmission system when driving at high speeds. While the company didn't say when sales of the SUV will resume, UBS is estimating the launch to be pushed back until the end of the year or beyond.
The incident ?'reflected the company's deficiencies in research and development in as well as technical management of high-end products,?? Great Wall said in the statement.
??As such, the company decided to further rectify Haval H8 which will not be launched unless it is of premium standard.??
ok so your a pom that potted around the more civilized parts of Europe. means nothing. Some parts of Europe are just as rotten as parts of Australia if not worse.
How ever the EU has higher safety std than Australia.
Russia worse again. There is no motorway from one side of that country to another. is till a 9 hour flight. Or a 5 week drive!
I also take it that you have not been to china? it is just a weeeeeeee bit bigger than Australia, a weeeee bit hotter and a weeee bit colder and a weeeee bit wetter. And a hell of a lot rougher.
Your post was silly
I am dazzled about that, I thought that you live in a country where law and order prevail.Quote:

Can someone shed some light on that?
