“A plot by German devils.
They are afraid they cannot sell their [VW] Santanas.”

That comment is funny. Besides that model being used for taxis, I have no idea why would anyone want to buy a Santana! Santana sales have dropped because the Chinese are finally learning the Santana sucks. WHy else do you think the all new VW Lavida came out of nowhere. With Lavida, Bora, Polo and Santana sort of all in the similar price range. Santana is the surely the worst among the four and you don’t even need to be bias to see why! Santana is the 1980’s Passat with a facelift, So obselete!

Now back to the star rating. Pretty much all cars in the international market have 5 stars. No excuse. Korean cars have 5 stars so you don’t need sly comments like these “If Brilliance was BMW, I bet it would be 5 stars.” You don’t need an European car to get the 5 stars.

Seeing this “3 star front impact rating, 4 star side impact rating.” It doesn’t really matter becuase you should achieve a 5. Its either a 5 or a fail! I remember i read somewhere that getting the 5 stars is not so hard anymore. COME ON! EVEN A TINY CAR LIKE MAZDA 2 HAS 5 STARS! NO EXCUSE FOR THIS MID SIZE SEDAN LIKE BRILLIANCE BS TO NOT GET THE 5 STARS! Again its either a 5 or a fail!

FYI: Chery A3 got 5 stars. So yes Chinese cars can achieve it. But the the Chery QQ is still a very unsafe car.

Ive worked in the Chinese car industry for over 10 years and been to Brilliance many times. I wouldnt buy one. Advanced Collision protection has been something the Euro OEMs have been working on for decades. Chinese Car companies just started crash testing ten years ago and that was with their own tests. Serious crash testing buy leading outside firms has only been around a few years in the local market.You can’t argue with the science of the tests.Facts are a stubborn thingg.

This rating is wrong in so many levels.

It did not deserve a 0 star rating. My website tells why.
3 star front impact rating, 4 star side impact rating. This is all BS.

I’ve got it! After a very long time I have realized what the law is on the road. Here it is…….
You can do ANYTHING you like [risking everyone’s life around you] for example driving the wrong way down a bicycle lane IF, you lean on your horn for at least 3 seconds before you do it.
Its like this, I have leaned on my horn and you have heard me. Now that you know I am here it is up to you to get out of MY way NOW. If you don’t then it’s your fault.

Some western countries have used deceased bodies for car crash research. Since the Falun Gong people are often used as organ “donors” in China, why not use some live bodies for car crash tests.

“China is also made up of individuals with their own ideas and habits.” Welllllllll, yes and no.

I am Chinese and proud of it BUT… I will NEVER, EVER, EVER buy a Chinese car. I am a car guy and have been a grease monkey all my life. I’ve examined many Chinese cars of my co-workers (in China of course) and these machines (not going to name) are just not built to last, even the RMB200K+ ones are disappointing.

The car looks so good. But, performs so poorly… just like the San Lu milk products.
