Via InstaPundit—you know, it is possible for Excursions and Suburbans to seem safe by comparison:
Worst... crash test... ever. Good job, China.
Of course, it occurred to us over lunch that if you're heading into an accident, and you see one of these things, steer toward it—it'll provide a nice soft cushion.
UPDATE: Hmm. You suppose Isuzu knows about this?
The headlamps and lower body cladding are different, but other than that this appears to be a direct crib off a ten-year-old Isuzu Rodeo. And who knows what, if anything, is underneath.
Do we have a new picture to put next to the definition of "Cargo Cult" or what?
UPDATE: Kevin at Atomic Glee has lots more examples of how committed the Chinese auto industry is to keeping its eyes on its own paper.
