Chang Feng Walla Walla Bang Bing

Chang Feng Motors one is one of a few Chinese automakers who crossed the Pacific to attend the North American International Auto Show. They did so to unveil their Liebao CS7 cute ute and Kylin mini-minivan today. Chang Feng want to start importing these babies into the U.S. in two to three years time– provided they can form a partnership with an existing distributor or U.S. factory. Chang Feng is already in a joint venture partnership with Mitsubishi, and manufactures a variety of vehicles based on various Mitsu SUVs. So you have to wonder why they don't just latch onto Mitsu here too. After all, anyone who can "manufacture off-road vehicles with world-class technology" using "the top engine of Mitsubishi, six-jar motive force" producing "consummate off-road performance, allocate completely, adorn luxuriously inside, it is comfortable and honourable to enjoy" shouldn't have any problems mastering American culture, right? (Quotes taken from Chang Feng web site.)

    From the ChangFeng "Black Giant" specs: Turning: Steering wheel Nice, I'm glad that they're not using a rudder.

    "The PAJERO is energicthough being quiet.controlling it can be full of pleasant sensation. Let's wake PAJERO up, wake the impulse that you take risks up again." Sounds like some kind of hypnotic suggestion... Taking up risks again; yes, that's pretty high on my list! No doubt the Pajero's battleship-like construction will add said risk to everyday driving.

    Someone's head will roll for having Engrish on the website. China is spending big bucks ahead of the olympics to eliminate these fantastic goofs.
