The car looks terrific and the price is incredible.

I imagine the cars are also a size that isn't practically guaranteed to murder pedestrians.

The footprint on our cities from building to accommodate cars is immense swaths of mostly empty parking lots.

What is really crazy is how China is literally pushing foreign auto makers out of their country. Prior to 1985 they were simply farmers with little to no major manufacturing. Taught them the business now they want them gone.
