Hah!! Are you sure it wasn't a Chery?

 

One of the guys on the Mercedes mailing list I'm on has a sonic. His has pads, wasn't a friday or monday car.

 

Someone should figure out how many pages this thread needs to be before we get to 10,000. Im considerably too lazy to do that.

 

500?



10,000 / 20 post per page = 500 ...if that's correct.

 

Depends on how many posts per page you have setup to view.

 

So anyone planning on taking the day off work when we get close to the 10000th post? LOL! There should be a prize for post # 9999 + # 9998 because those two people can't win according to the rules.





Some of the smiles are ridiculous!

 

I'm only at 11 pages with 425+ posts. Forum defaults ftl...

 

Im on page 22. I didnt realize we had them set up differently. I thought there was a set amount based on the forum.

 

There is a default setting that can be changed to show different amount of posts on each page of the thread.

 

I test drove two cherys out of curiosity.



This is a 2WD wagon thing called the J11. It comes with a 2.0L four cylinder, five speed manual, and pretty standard disc/drum and independent suspension. The catch? It weighs 3500 lbs, it was one of the slowest cars I've ever driven. Like, holy crap. There was some pretty ridiculous amounts of body roll as well. The quality isn't too bad, there is lots of interior trim that has been painted silver + the panel gaps are wide and inconsistent, but I believe the car would soldier on for a while at least.







This was the other car, the J3. It just felt extremely mediocre. It was very comfortable and quiet, but there were already quality misses. The steering wheel stitching was coming loose, the passenger door handle didn't work, the cupholders didn't work, the fitment of the leather seats was terrible etc etc. They haven't sold too well, which is a shame.







Chinese cars will be the next big thing, IMO. First it was the japs, then the koreans, so give it thirty years and lets see what happens!
