That yellow car does not look anything at all like any BMW I have ever seen. The could have put Mr. Potatohead up as a concept car and you guys would still claim they're copying somebody....

The stigma attached to a fledgling car industry is hard to shake, but this is the same as Hyundai when they started. They're not doing bad these days too.

This thing looks like a coupe version of the Mark-X maybe? That thing is right out of Bangles playbook, total clamshell trunk and hood:

this is because our companies made the decision to have their products made there... add time, and these same places start releasing their own brands instead of making things for you. it's a never ending evolution.

next we'll see manufacturing from Africa and Russia.

Taiwan has pretty much left that list about 10yrs ago. They've been manufacturing high tech stuff. Last time I saw a living room fan from Taiwan was in the 90's. Even faster in leaving the low end in their rear view mirror was South Korea...
