Some big Chinese car manufacturers are:

Chang'an
Byd
Hafei
Lifan
Xiali
Wuling

yes i just looked at HAFEI AUTO site cars and some are nice....

Now that NAC has acquired MG, I expect them to become a major player. I wouldn't mind seeing the SEAT-based Soyat sedan come to the USA as a $7K MG......

hmmm do you think they will really be for prices of around 7000$ US or after they come here, their prices will rise because of unexpected costs?

I don't know for sure, I was just guessing based on what it costs in China. It is an outdated car, very 1980's, so it would have to be cheap to sell here. They might just wait until they have the MG "Z" cars or their descendants ready.

They have a cute FIAT-ish minicar (with a hybrid version), a Toyota-like sedan and a BMW-style large luxury car. Also, I have reason to believe they may be coming to the USA.

do you have a website with pictures?

Hi Pokershark
Here is the URL: http://www.bydauto.com.cn/
Find your way to the English page, across the top will be some buttons labeled Flyer, F3, F6 etc. These go to pictures of the cars. Elsewhere, somewhere in the Chinese part of the site, there are pics of the hybrid and a futuristic electric concept. You'll have to explore a little to find them.
Enjoy!

Lifan Auto (a motorcycle co. that just started building cars) is trying to buy the Brazilian based Tritech Engines and plans to enter The US market in 2009! Here is a link to a story about them:

very interesting..never even heard of them :rolleyes:

don't forget this company

You may be referring to the Suzuki-based Alto mini car called the Flyer. It was the mainstay model of the acquired Norinco subsidiary, Qinchuan 秦川Auto of Shaanxi Province.

Zotye Holdings(AKA Tech New, Zhongtai, and Yongkang Hardware) of Zhejiang Province makes this mini-SUV. It is said to be Daihatsu-based and is equipped with a Mitsubishi 1.8 litre engine. The company now has begun exporting to Syria.
Other products of Zotye are body dies, sheet metal, meters and other components. One of its customers is Chery.
The company was established in 1992.

I thought I would bump this thread up again, and ask the question whether we should add any other chinese-car manufacturers in the Forum.

I think we have all the main ones or significant ones.

Thanks

Hello and welcome. I read your post as well as your aim...

'Exploitation and innovation, Making high-quality products, Humanist, Pursuing outstanding'

and I think that you should hire somebody that knows or understands English correctly.

Exploitation in the English language generally means selfish utilization of something generally resulting in victimization. That is not something you should generally mention (even it is true) when describing your company as it carries negative connotations with it.

Edit - By the way I deleted your other duplicate postings as only one in the correct thread is necessary.
