Looks like the Chinese are having their way with a mish-mash rodeo design. Zero crash test rating :disappoin !! Look at the videos. Very scary. I bet it wont be long before Chinese vehicles are readily available in the US :uhoh: .

wow, watching those videos, it seems like they made the vehicle to kill people. Instead of crumbling around the occupant, it swollows them up. You wouldn't stand a chance in there.

Maybe it's a new "State Sponsored" population control device... every Chinese can only have one child AND must drive this vehicle. :evillol:

Yeah but the fake <1997 rodeo still looks like it did better than the 2003 Ford F150. Those babies fold up like a pop can and is one of FMC's best selling vehicles! Good thing FMC changed them. I bet there are a gazillion vehicles (and occupants) on the road that would suffer the same fate hitting a fixed barrier head on @ 40mph.
