Chinese Cars of the Future: M1 Brilliance

This may not be good news for the automakers of America but we are living in an increasingly globalized world. And what that means for the auto industry is that we will soon seen more and more inexpensive China and India made cars on North American roads.

Looking at what’s coming out of China it’s hard to understand why we pay so much for cars here. Just looking at the new 2009 M1 by Brilliance I think BMW. The car features a completely redesigned 1.8L turbocharged 170hp engine. The chassis was designed with the help of Porch and the rest comes with improving on the competition.

If you are one of those who refuses to by a car made from China that’s fine, GM should still be in business once the government bails them out again. One of the reasons why they are struggling is because they know they will no longer be able to compete with the Chinese made cars. If you think about it it’s the 50’s all over again. A time when Japanese cars started being introduced to North American markets. At first with the stigma attached that they couldn’t possible make quality cars, people refused to buy them. Now Japan makes some of the most reliable cars on the market while GM, Ford and friends make the worst junk on the road. The tables have turned and now China is looking for a piece of the market.
