Was watching the news today at lunch and they were talking about this car. They were saying that it is being released in China right away and if it is successful there you can almost certainly expect it NA. Company rep said that since the "BIG 3" have little invested in electric car tech they feel that NA is a very open market in this sector. The biggest hurdle is proving it is reliable, cost effective and people will buy it. Wish the company the best of luck.

The chinese market has imploded and BYD thinks they can start up operations in the US... hmmm, first there is the whole environmental regulations thing regulating emissions from this plant, then there's the whole crash test thing (something the chinese are known to excell in), and lastly we all know the Chinese are known for supporting international intellectual property laws (nuff said). Believe it when I see it.

Yep, I definitely think we should all run out and buy a car produced in the country run by the most oppressive, murderous regime on the planet. I hope people consider that before they write the check...

If they would come up with names instead of random alpha-numeric combination's I think they would be taken just a bit more seriously.

Isn't that suppose to be Rwanda or Sudan (Darfur)? Oh, that's right, they don't exist to the rest of the world.
