In this week's Auto Express there is a piece on the Chinese built Brilliance BS6 which is the first Chinese built car to hit the roads of Europe, and the UK in January. It's a large saloon and said to be the sort of car that will compete with the Roewe 75.
Quotes from the piece include:-
'Cheap looking plastics, questionable wood trim and lacklustre build quality let down the interior trim' and the dash looks 'something from the eighties'
'5 speed box has vague shift action'
'Equipment levels leave alot to be desired'
'in the Euro NCAP crash testing programme the BS gained only 2 stars - with some serious concerns being raised about side impact protection'
'Brilliance BS is a massive let down'
'It falls behind rivals in every area'
Estimated price is £15k (Roewe 75 estimated to start at £17K)
Will the Roewe fair any better?
