What is most disturbing about the Chinese takeover of the automotive industry as jozeff so kindly pointed out is that there is absolutely no way for the Chinese to accommodate all of these new cars at the rate of their car registration.
This is an absolute waste of resources, not to mention fuel.
look at this traffic jam article...

They should just stop selling them cars (ya right) that they can't use and expedite the public transit infrastructure. Sorry but you have way to many people China how can you drive when there is no space?!!?....
 Must be why a 328LI is so necessary, no desire to sit in traffic at an avg of 15mph. |
Bad news has wings. So that's everything you hear and read. But the reality is, chinese are not too stupid to make a choice. If taking a subway is faster and cheaper than driving, why would people drive? The answer for that is, let me put it in this way, I need to drive 50 miles everyday to and back from the office. Both rides are on peak hours (8 AM and 7 PM) and I need to cut across the downtown of Shanghai. Guess how long does that take? 1 hour and 10 mins. You can calculate the mph, can't you?
