Would you buy a Chinese car?

Oh my Lord. Chrysler plans to start importing Chinese cars into the US:

Chrysler Group signed a deal Wednesday with China’s biggest automaker, Chery, to launch a low-cost production venture that could export the first Chinese-made cars to the United States.

The first cars will reach Latin America or Eastern Europe within a year and models should be exported to North America and Western Europe in 2 years, said Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda.

They can't make toothpaste and pet food that aren't poisonous, but we're supposed to believe they can build safe cars? Please. Automobiles are a lot more complicated than toothpaste, and the recently-saved-from-oblivion Chrysler sure isn't the company to teach the Chinese what "quality" means.

This is ridiculous. The Chery will make the Yugo look like a Mercedes. Meanwhile, more American manufacturing jobs go down the drain.
