Who's next on the chinese shopping list.

Very soon there will be high end luxury sedan and SUV dealerships opening in dragon mart. Being sold next to cheap knocks offs ! They already do cars like the Land Cruisers and Prado can't wait to see the new Lange Lover.

I read somewhere that all current volvo owners with DVD sat nav will be sent new disks giving driving directions only in Chinese. If this is not done on receipt, your warranty becomes void.
