NEW YORK - A government-owned Chinese automaker founded in 1997 has signed a deal with a privately held New York company to sell Chinese-made cars to Americans in 2007.

Chery Automobile Co., one of the fastest growing companies in the fledgling Chinese auto industry, is teaming up with Visionary Vehicles of New York, which has backing from investment banking firm Allen & Co.

The cars would be the first made in China to sell in the United States
The chief executive of Visionary is automotive entrepreneur Malcom Bricklin, who produced a futuristic sports cars bearing his name in New Brunswick 30 years ago. The province sank $23 million into the venture before Bricklin went bankrupt.

Bricklin was also behind the selling of the low-cost Yugo cars in the United States in in the 1980s.

He told the Detroit News his firm wants to import up to 250,000 cars. Consumers would be offered five new models.

The cars would be the first made in China to sell in the United States.

Visionary Vehicles will talk more about its plans for the U.S. market during a media briefing in Detroit Jan. 9 at the 2005 North American International Auto Show

Unless the avererage price for a car from them is an average price of 7,000 I bet it will sink in two years. I don't know of anything machanical that china makes is of any quality. After all a lot of Americans don't buy Fords etc because of their poor quality.

I know this to be true. Christmas toys bought years ago broke before New Years. I took them back to Toys R US and Walmart, but replacements broke too. China produces crap and you get what you pay for.
