After months of looking , trying and searching

I am going to buy the Chery A11 ( Chery Windcloud )
It is one of the STRONGEST cars I've ever seen ( bodywork )
Honestly , it's not like all other chinese cars ,

it's 1.6L engine ( 16v sohc with Fuel Injection FORD licensed motor )
95HP at 5500 RPM - 0>120 KM = 13.5 seconds
2 Airbags ( driver and front passenger ) made by Siemens APV
ABS with EPD ( I can't remmember the manufacter but its Bosch I think )
Powersteering ESPS
Electric Front/Rear Windows
Electric Mirrors
Air Condition with Climate Control by Valeo
Adjustable Driving Wheel
Radio/Cassette with 4-speakers and an Optional subwoofer in the back.
Trip Computer
5x 14" 185/50 Sport rims
Very very very large boot
the car is the bigest among the chinese cars here ( geely ck / maple )

3 Years waranty or 60,000 ( the standard waranty in all brands here )

the only thing the car lacks is the outdated style used in the interior , however it is supposed to be a Seat Toledo 1993 , so it's acceptable

the build quality of the car and the interior are excellent .
compared to geely , hyundai and kias ( based on actual trial )

costs 63,000 LE
$11,052

the spare parts are very very very cheap compared to korean and japanese cars .

I booked a black one :D , I will post pictures as soon as I get it .

unlucky me

No ... Sadly

After paying a deposit and waiting for it to arrive , apparently there's the Imports did not reach Egypt .

THere are some issues with regulations and stuff ... from Chery exports ...

And my dad went to see it with me ( he never saw it before ) he liked it alot , until we got in ( in the showroom ) and he didnt like the interior at all , and unlucky me the Power windows didn't work while it was still in the show room

my dad said " No comment, this might be a good car but its not heavy duty one , and won't live long , I advice you to look into something else "

So I got to point zero again ..
But I am lurking about an Italian / Brazilian car , the Fiat palio , which costs the same as the Chery ( but hatchback ) and has the same features except the Airbags .

picture :


I really loved the chery Windcloud ,, but the winds didn't come my way :(
Anyways I hope Chery can get over these minor issues ,cuz I am really thinking that this company will be large in the future .. unlike geelys and the rest which I think are going nowhere ...

News from egypt
A Brilliance GALENA will be put ON SALE from the BMW Egypt Group in a few weeks time :D
it looks totaly amazing , but totaly expensive as well :D

Exciting!

Is the Chery BannerCloud now producing in Egypt? or the New Easter? They are also cheap. The BannerCloud is powered by the Mini Cooper 1.6L engine.

And the Brilliance is producing Zhonghua car there too. The company just officially released the Junjie (in Chinese) sedan to the local market. It is said to be produced in Egypt as well. The new products come with 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0L engines, retailed at around $1000-1200 in China.

the fact is they dont get Named " wind cloud / flag cloud bla bla cloud here "
they are called in Numbers , except the QQ

Chery cars in egypt :

Chery A11E - A11L - ALLStretch ( all are the same engine - diffrent options )
Chery QQ ( 0.8L Manual and 1.1L Automatic )
Chery B150 ( I have no info about it ) but it was very expensive , more expensive than Toyota Corrolla / Nissan Sunny / Mitsubish Lancer which makes it TOTALY unwise to buy it .

I have no idea of any Chery production going here but I doubt it

The Galena being PRODUCED here doesnt have its own Factory , it Uses the BMW Egypt ( Bavarian Auto Group ) that has a very larggge factory here producing :

BMW 3 Series ( 2006 )
BMW 5 Series ( 2006 )
BMW X3 Series ( 2006 )
and in a few months the new 7 Series will be made here as well

But I would like to clarify a point , These cars are NOT MADE IN EGYPT , they are just COMPILED in Egypt .

Mercedes has Just Celebrated the first Egyptian Compiled SL500 ( thier newest model ) which is not made anywhere outside germany .

Funny thing is with all that experience in Compiling cars , Egypt will never or in the near future make its own Egyptian Car.

The only ones being made here are very very very stupid 70s car made from russian and old italian brands

for example :

The Dogan Shahin ( A turkish/Russian car that looks like a box on wheels
The OLD Fiat 128 ( The old 70s Italian car )

anyway Back to the point , I have made up my mind , maybe my next car will be a Chery or A Geely , but I am gonna wait , for now I will eat pizza and ride my FiatPalio :D

Good Luck CHina ! :)

14" rims are tiny!

95hp is pretty.. um... how do I say this nicely... weak.
