'Bout dang time somebody answered my real question.
:^)
My company needs Ford and GM cars to sell. There is much pain hereabouts, and I'd like to see better times.
When I was looking for a car in China, I ended up buying a 4 year old Audi A6 - it was actually cheaper than a 6 year old Buick Lacrosse! The Chinese love the US brands; me, I know what Buicks REALLY are and prefer the Audi (actually, I almost got a VW Passat - same basic car - but got a screaming deal on a low miles, foreign owned A6).
China will consume every car we can make; the Ford dealers in Shanghai are typically 8-10 weeks out on delivery. Can’t keep up with demand.
