This is a picture of the Chery QQ. It is made in CHINA. There is one on a USED CAR LOT near my house in Ft. Walton Beach, FL.
Price: $2400.
They have no dealerships or distribution network in the USA. They had proposed to sell these cars here back in 2005. They had deals with Chrysler and later Nissan, but since the 2008 crash and subsequent government takeover of Chrysler, that deal has died. As far as I know, this model has not passed any EPA or NHSTA tests in order to be allowed to be imported. They have had LEGAL problems with GM saying that the car is a rip-off of the of the Daewoo Matiz (which is marketed outside South Korea as the Chevrolet Spark).
My question is: How did this car get here?........
Probably someone's suitcase......
I am really intrigued by this car. I am calling the local news people and see if they are curious, too..........
Good luck getting the newspaper folks to care. Their reporting is pretty terrible. If you do have success, though, post back here and ping me! I’m curious. Might have to wander over to Racetrack and take a look. Don’t usually drive past that side of town.
I sent e-mails to their editor, news and business reporters. Surely someone may be interested............
Who is the dealer? Do they have a website?
That’s the one. I live about a block from there.
51+K MILES PER GALLON...........that’s pretty good. I could drive to CHINA and BACK for parts and service................
I kind of like it. I am a sucker for funny little cars. But it would be interesting to see how he has it titled. You should give him a call, have a look at it, and give us an after action report! ;-)
