dnoblett Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 There is an example of one out in California East of Oakland.I read about this one a while back.

dnoblett Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Back when my wife interviewed for her K-Visa I booked rides to and from airports in Guangzhou and Guilin through a travel agency, I did not know that the agency had a red-flag car and we were surprised upon returning from Guangzhou when they had one waiting for us at the Guilin airport to bring us into Guilin, my wife was impressed. http://www.chinacartimes.com/wp-content/hq.jpg This is similar to what we got to ride in after her interview.

warpedbored Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Before they can take the most market share of luxury cars in China they'll have to overcome the perception of Chinese cars being inferior as well as the status of being able to buy a foreign luxury car. A situation similar to Cadillac vs Mercedes in the US. Link to comment

Better looking to me than the current Mercedes and Beemers stuff. tsap seui Link to comment
