#1 I have yet to see the first Chinese car in the U.S. When I start seeing these things in numbers on the streets in China, I'll consider it a viable option. When I see them in the U.S. I'll consider it a "Chevy Volt Killer."

The title of this article is B.S.

#2 Have you ever seen crash-test videos of Chinese cars?

As craptacular as GM stuff can be, it can at least take a pounding better than that.

#3 BYD isn't strictly speaking one of China's "regular" auto companies. It's a cellphone company whose owner bought an auto factory to help realize his electric car concepts.

Seen an american-built cellphone lately?
