    Never been able to be sold outside of the US, including Europe or Asia because it would never pass the safety test, says it all.

    It also says something about the American safety tests and laws. Americans are so afraid of Chinese cars that pass all safety tests but this unsafe monstrosity roams the streets?

      Eh, they sold them in Canada too, I’ve seen many of these garbage containers wobbling around on the roads here.

      Not only does it fail to pass basic safety tests it’s also too heavy to drive on a normal licence in pretty much all the countries of the world. It weighs so much that it qualifies as a truck, not a pickup truck, a six wheeler. It’s so heavy it has to take alternate routes around old bridges.

      Even if it was legal in Europe, it’d be such an inconvenience to drive that no one would want one.

      I just came back from a country full of Chinese cars…I gotta say there were some sexy ass solid feeling automobiles… Saw some tiny ones too, but I feel like I saw more busted rebadged tiny Chevys.

      America only cares about the people buying cars.

      Those pedestrians can either buy Canyoneros of their own or go die with the poor.
