    I'm sure china will merely maintain it's grip on fortune cookies and citizen abuse, the things you're good at.

    Seriously, your nation is an abomination when it comes to civil rights. That's why you will fail.

    It may look like a Rolls but I am willing to bet the quality is not even close.

    I'm willing to bet that even the nouveau riche will avoid these cars as a sign of bad taste and cheap knockoffs. Who do they expect to buy these things?
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Rich wannabes? The same class of people in the US who got mortgages they couldn't afford and drove cars they couldn't afford.

    That group especially doesn't buy cheap knockoffs, they want to appear rich. They'll need to find a group that is willing to buy just things that look like what they want. I'm sure there are some people, but I don't think there is a huge market for this.

    Alabama will suck em up like pancakes and syrup.
    They will look good parked beside a mobile home.
    Do they come in a pickup model?
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    I seriously doubt anyone would buy one of those. Does the fake gold market put real gold markets out of business?

    They'll be for the domestic Chinese market, if anything.

    Besides, they're probably poisonous anyway.
