I found this list on the interweb that is supposed to be all the Chinese car companies.
Man if they want to sell some of these here, they'll have to change the names!
On the one hand, "Who's Your Dadi" might be a pretty good slogan.
But "Our Fukang cars are the best!" might not fly.

I kind of dig the four letter names that start with "F" (Fuqi)
I thought a Chinese company owned Volvo now too... Does BMW stand for "Beijing Motor Works" yet?
Doesnt China have laws that companies form outside their country need a Chinese parent/partner company to sell items/cars in their borders? I would suspect a lot of those car companies actually sell that we can already purchase. BAW made the chinese version of the jeep cherokee until 2005.
In reply to MG Bryan:
Maybe. The Chinese companies that aren't affiliated with (or used to be affiliated with) outside companies are notorious for making knock-offs.
Behold, the Lifan Mini Coo... I mean, Lifan 320.
And they're crash tested, too! Yep, they sure do crash like nothing else!
Is this some sort of bizarro world, where Made in USA is stamped on the Chinese-manufactured vehicles?
