Commenting on El-Nably's post about chinese cars....
....More shocking videos on youtube
It makes perfect sense.We, in Egypt, put safety and risks at the very bottom of our priority list...and we put looks, options and hambaca at the very top.Now that's a market segment chinese car manufaturers are now addressing. We are the PERFECT customers. No wonder these cars aren't and won't be sold in modern countries with high standards.After china sells their crap to us and make some profit, they will start focusing on those factors...but for now, let us buy some crappy chinese cars.We law gatt 3ala el crash tests, ya seedy rabina yostorha ba2a men 3ando...el mohem el shakl wel options!!

@Nia: what does the engine type (electric or benzene) have to do with safety concerns?? These cars have a market share because of their cheapness. Period. If we had a mindset that takes security with higher priority (like europe and USA), this car won't be sold in the first place because it won't have any market segment.

if the "crap" is cheap buy it without the engine and make yourself an electric car for getting around urban centers. it looks small and light. It looks E evidently there is a market for them in Egypt...would you, and others,feel differently about them if you could get them (OR SELL THEM!) with electric powered motors and a portable recharging (sun energized) station? Is there a way to make lemonade from the lemons?

AA. I am Mohamed Salem Korayem. I work as an Embedded Software Engineer in a major international automotive supplier company here in Cairo, Egypt. Currently I work in the Tooling Dept. where I, and the rest of the team, strive to make our fellow embedded software geeks happier. I work mainly with the .NET 2.0 using C#. I also have a big appetite for web-development. I like analyzing the revolution of the web (aka Web 2.0) and how it affects people's lives in return. I develop web-apps with ASP.NET 2.0/Python in my free time. For client-side stuff, I use jQuery for all that Javascript magic. What I muse, I share on this blog.
