The company says it's trying to emulate German engineering. Big mistake!
"German quality" is nothing more than a reputation,,, a reputation no longer
deserved. Compared to Detroit Iron of the 70's and 80's, German quality
meant something. Compared to current Japanese quality, they fall far short.
German *design is fine for the most part. The cars look and perform great.
However, they tend to choose poorly suited materials to execute their
otherwise great designs. All the Chinese have to do is check the various
reliability ratings to see that Japanese vehicles would be a much smarter
model for them to emulate.
Hyundai has pumped billions into the USA economy, and I consider their cars
to be practically an American brand. I like their approach to price control,
a great part of which is a huge, super-modern, super-efficient assembly
plant.
If the Chinese do as Hyundai, I would be fine with purchasing one of their
cars (if the quality were there). However, I seriously doubt the Chinese
will produce parts or assemble in the USA. If they do, there goes the price
advantage. I think their whole reason for Chinese entry into auto
manufacturing is to capitalize on the large price advantage they could
offer.

I somewhat agree about German quality. My company produces equipment
used for quality control by every major car maker with a presence in
the USA, ranging from BMW & Mercedes to Hyundai's new plant. There is
a definite difference in how the use of our stuff is treated by
Ford/GM/Daimler-Chrysler than the three companies above. With the "Big
3" outfits, there has been vandalism to keep from having to make
measurements.
Those that buy the Chinese cars in the first couple of years will
probably have a lot of problems, but I think quality is going to
improve dramatically after the manufacturer gets hosed in the initial
reviews

Heck, "German quality" today is less than American or Korean quality
as well. BMW routinely ranks near the bottom of reliability ratings.

Re: Hyundai will take blow by China competition
re: China to soon export cars to U.S.
The thread is an interesting discussion, and I'll be re-reading it a
couple of times.
There is a recent article in the NEW YORK TIMES business section about
a Brazilian car factory being dismantled & taken piece-by-piece to
China.
Supposedly, a $30,000 U.S. Dollars (retail?) Brazil-made/assembled car
can be sold by China for $15,000.
China either inflates its currency's value or "free trade" is
bye-byuh--something's gotta give.
