As I would assume that due to our vehicles being impossible to manufacture in the chinese price ranges, that we will target our cars to the upper range. And as a result make them more competitive to such imported models.
But would you pay $100,000 (in current pricing) for a G6ET with the build quality and features of, for example, a LEXUS?

I could not imagine many would really
