Pick-Up Trucks

This is a nice-looking pick-up apparently made in China

>From an article I read, it is implied that a China-made p/up vehicle
sells for about $7,000 U.S.D., and will be exported to the U.S. within
two years (it may not be the truckor model linked here)

All I can post/say is "whoohoo"/"oh-my-gosh" because such would
seemingly capture a significant percentage of the U.S. market

This is a harsh political economic reality--luvit or hateit

Maybe twice $7,000 USD (more or less) is about what one would today
pay for a Tennesseee Cadillac aka a Nissan pick-up with hopefully a/c
and automatic transmission (no comments from @#$%^&*()_+ cowboys
allowed to my delicate posts about wanting 4/6 cylinder AT)

I vaguely recall the China p/up importer may be the automotive
entrepeneur "Marshall Bricklin," but none of this post's accuracy is
warranted 10 minutes/10 seconds (which ever comes first if ya change
the oil and do the timing belt et cetera to specification) if ya get
my exculpatory caveat

Anybody reading this note in Australia or Timbucktu who has
driven/owned a China-made pick/up truck, why not please just let me
know how good/bad it is (no car sales jerks & their shyster managers
will be believed)

I recall the first imported to U.S. Excel Hyundais, circa 1988, and the
door handles were defective/problematic, and China/Bricklin will be
making a huge mistake if these boogers are the Excels or "Yugos" of
2007
