Indeed, there appears to be a growing backlash against Chinese manufacturers. Earlier this year, a Russian car magazine crash-tested a Chery Amulet at facilities owned by the country's biggest carmaker, OAO AvtoVAZ. The magazine, AvtoRevu, claimed the Amulet was so badly mangled in the crash that the car should be pulled from the market for safety reasons...
