I read a website that said Chery sold 102,000 cars in China in the first 4 months on this year. 47,000 QQ's and 38000 flagclouds. other cars sold were A5, eastar, and tiggo. Chery exported 12,000 cars in the same period. Chery is on target for 400,000 cars sold this year.

Syria is biggest export market for Chinese cars. I think Syria imports over 15,000 Chinese cars a year.
biggest export market in 2005
Yes, Syria had been the biggest importer of Chinese cars Hazik, but if you figure in the "export-only" plant of Honda, in Guangzhou, in 2005 it became Belgium.
Last year 7,636 units were exported to Belgium, according to Auto Resources Asia. 7,476 were exported to Syria most of which were trucks says ARA.
In 2005 according to CAAM, total exports doubled to 172,639 units. Top exporters were FAW, Great Wall, and Jiangling. Others were Dongfeng, Beiqi Foton, Chang'an, Chery, and Geely.
Of this total export figure, sedans made up 19.5%, having increased 234% to 31,124. Another 60% were light trucks. I'm guessing that SUV's are included in the latter.

Will Chery have 100% sales growth in 2006
in 2005 Chery sold 189,000 cars, up 118% from the year before. Chery will need to sell 378,000 cars this year to have 100% growth again.

Head of R&D quits position at Chery; U.S. export plans could be affected
Chery departures cloud U.S. export plan

BEIJING -- The head of r&d at Chery Automobile Co. has quit along with three other executives, potentially slowing the Chinese automaker's entry into the U.S. market.
Xu Min, who was educated in the United States and worked at Delphi Corp. and Visteon Corp., left Chery on Thursday, July 27, industry sources say. The other departing executives also have overseas degrees and experience. All four were involved in designing cars for the domestic market and for export.
Xu could not be reached for comment.
Chery suppliers say the departures were caused by a clash with locally trained engineers. Chinese automakers need engineers trained overseas to develop cars for export to the United States and Europe. But they can disrupt the companies that hire them.
"Overseas people like to manage Chery with foreign experience and style," says one supplier source. "Before the overseas Chinese came back, the local people had the real power. They don't like to lose it."
Returning Chinese tend to earn higher salaries than their local colleagues.
The departures are a setback for product development, the source says. Contracts that were negotiated by Xu but not finalized are now in limbo. The local executives are unlikely to use the same companies, the source says. New suppliers will now have to be found.
"Our company will be hurt by this change," adds the supplier source.
Two other automakers eyeing the U.S. market, Geely Automobile Holdings Group and Great Wall Motor Co., have hired returnees, as they are known.
The U.S. auto industry has many Chinese engineers who earn Ph.D.s in the United States. They are lured back to China more by the opportunity to help China's automotive industry than by the high salaries.
Still, their starting salaries are invariably much higher than a typical local salary. A high-end salary for a Chinese engineer with a Ph.D. from a local university and no international experience is about 20,000 yuan a month, or $2,500 at the current exchange rate. A returnee with a Ph.D. from a foreign university and overseas work experience can start at $6,300 a month.
Malcolm Bricklin's Visionary Vehicles LLC is working with Chery to develop cars to export to the United States. The original target for the start of exports was 2007, but developing cars that meet the stringent emissions and safety requirements for the United States market has proved tricky.
Chery engineers have said a more likely date is 2009. The recent departures may push that date out even farther.

this is bad news anyway you look at it 
Screw them, this shouldn't have any affect on Chery, Chery can always hire new engineers to replace them.
So he was an auto part engineer and not a car engineer.Xu Min, who was educated in the United States and worked at Delphi Corp. and Visteon Corp
What the hell was he doing in Chery's R&D department anyway? Is Chery desperate enough to hire any ethnic Chinese with any auto-related credentials?
At least Geely's R&D chief is an ex-Hyundai project manager(In other word, he actually built a number of real cars)....
People with a Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Porsche, or Mercedes(Not Chrysler) credentials are hard to come by. These are the companies you look for real talents building real cars, not GM or Ford.....Screw them, this shouldn't have any affect on Chery, Chery can always hire new engineers to replace them.
lol, You summed it up pretty well in that statement.Windy said:Geely delayed:shrug:,
Cherry falling apart :shrug2:
No sign of anything but talk from Bricklin :talking:
Don't worry - Nanjing MG is still on schedule... and now looks like it will be the first to the USA.![]()

GM and Ford engineers are still some of the top
