tonylauno1 7 Report post Posted February 20, 2010 More expensive products will have quality control or companies that want to make it big, want to stay alive will have quality control. But we as consumers continue to seek products priced cheaply which is the reason why lower quality products exist. Just like how people want to buy sausage & bacon at a cheap price, not knowing or not wanting to know that it is only 30% real meat. When they see a sausage or bacon at twice the price, they think why would I buy something twice as expensive instead of thinking could the quality be better or could there be more meat? These cheap product exist because there is a demand for it, as we have noticed the quality seems to have gotten better over the years. This is due to the buyers knowing the consumers are not willing to pay for dirt cheap products that break tomorrow therefore do not buy dirt cheap products to sell them to us.

kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 hahahahahahahaha that's f'd up... cant they get copyright lawsuits?? im sure they could?? Never fear , they only make them LHD in China.[ we won't get em ] Most of them are made under license to a parent manufacturer [ in the west ] but to get Tax advantages vs huge import Taxes the car manufacturer sets up a factory over there and gets Govt funding to start a whole new marque They also have a lot of obsolete "new" models over there. I was cruising around in a 2004 Jeep Cherokee which was made obsolete in 1997 in NZ VW Santana's are everywhere as taxis, "Roewe" is the old Rover brand , older Diahatsu Charades are made as "Geely's" etc etc The car manufacturers love China, because the market has an insatiable apetite for cars , plus they can built older models with cheap labour and material costs [ from an accounting perspective the profit is greater for the investment made ] Even though GM went broke, the Buick division in China was making record profits If you think these are forgeries google "Yamaha China" to see all the legal action they and the Chinese Govt took to close down all the copy's [ China has strict intellectual property laws, but catching the offenders and a bit of corruption creates some enforcement difficulties ] I've also seen Honoa & Suzoki motorbikes over there [ a bit blatant ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
