In Egypt we hearded that the Brilliance is going to be assembled in Bavarian auto plant (Already assembling BMW 3, 5 series and X3) this summer, I saw one going in road test (I'm living in the same city as the bavarian auto plant), but I do not know its price.

The price for the 2006 Zhonghua (Brilliance Auto) Jinjue according to a post on carspyshots.net is...

1.6MT, 8v Sohc (74 kW (JIS) 6000 rpm, 133 Nm (rpm) 4500 rpm) 85800RMB = approx. $10,000 USD

1.8MT, 16v Dohc (100 kW (JIS) 6500 rpm, 165 Nm (rpm) 5000 rpm) 95800RMB = approx. $11,166 USD

2.0AT, 16v Dohc (95 kW (JIS) 6000 rpm, 173 Nm (rpm) 4500 rpm) 116800RMB = approx. $13,613 USD

I'm not too sure if the engines available for this car would be adquate in the U.S. market, eventhough 100hp would be adquate for daily driving, a turbocharged engine, or some options between 3.0 and 4.0 liters certainly would help.

Of course this replay is based on the assumption that the M2 is the same size as a BMW 3 series, and with the incoming M3 having a 4.0 producing about 415 hp, displacement does matter.
