* I would also like to make not that I will not be removing any current manufacturers but will be adding more.

2.) Changhe - has JV with Suzuki and is expanding its lineup with interesting models such as Ideal or Landy.
3.) Polarsun - In my oppinion very ambitious company
4.) Soueast (South East) - they have interesting lineup and have signed agreement with Dodge to produce Delica for Mexican market.
5.) Guangzhou - has a JV with Honda
6.) Foton - producer of cars and trucks
7.) Liaoning (Huanghai) - also quite large lineup. There models are being produced in Russia by Derways and in North Korea. All new models are copies of established cars.
8.) Shuanghuan - producer of SCEO and Noble. Should I say more? And there models will soon be available all around Europe.

I think it's time for us to reevaluate which company deserve its own forum and which not.
I will name companies which in my oppinion deserve own forum and reasons why.
- JAC - They presented four interesting cars which all look almost ready for production. That means we will be hearing a lot from them in the future. They are already selling Bingyue sedan, Refine MPV and Rein SUV.
- Soueast - I already suggested once this company. They have JV with Mitsubishi and produce handful of cars under Japanese or own badge. They also produce Dodge Caravan. Auto China also showed they are serious about expanding their lineup with new vehicles which will not be just rebadged Mitsubishis.
- Zotye - Their Exploison is one of the best selling SUV's in China. And now company also entered personal vehicles market with Multipla and soon to be presented Lybra. They will probaby not stop there.
Besides that I suggest we remove Gonow's forum. The company is stagnating, they are doing nothing. When was the last time we heard anything from them? But as there are two pages of threads about Gonow, I suggest we create a subforum about them in Other forum with all existing posts inside.
Admin, you can just create mentioned forums. I will move all existing topics to appropriate forums.
