China Cars Ready to Take Over Lost Markets left by GM and Chrysler Dealers

China Car Forums > Chinese Car Manufacturers > FAW

First Automobile Works will install in the environs of mexican city of Morelia, Michoacán, in an coinvestment of about 200 million dollars with mexican tycoon Ricardo Salinas Pliego, to produce compact and subcompact vehicles that will commercialize in the network Elektra in charge of Carlos Septién, first in Mexico and after in Centro and South America.

Felipe Calderón, President of Mexico, will place the first stone this next Thursday November 22nd.

An official notice of the mark announcing its arrival to Mexico is expected shortly.

FAW will take advantage of the network 1.300 Elektra stores pertaining to the Group Salinas and of course the aggressive plans of financing of the Banco Azteca.

Credit and Savings / Big chains like Wal-Mart are getting ready to provide financial services in Mexico / Retailers jump into banking
Eliza Barclay, Houston Chronicle Foreign Service, December 21, 2007


The bank is expected to add 20 percent to Wal-Mart's earnings in Mexico by its fifth year, according to a report by Merrill Lynch. The report predicted Wal-Mart will succeed in the banking sector because of its high number of stores - 502 supermarkets and hypermarkets - and its large customer base, with sales in Mexico expected to reach $18 billion this year.

3. OK, now how long before you can go to WALMART with a couple of grand and buy yourself a cheap
Chinese car? Never mind knock off sneakers, bargain kitchenware, towels, and so forth, I'll take that little subcompact with the shiny wheels, please!

I'll bet the day will come when you can buy a car at a big box store. Hell, the day of the dealership appears to be dying....

4. The new Yugo...you treat them like disposable lighters.
When they run out of gas, you throw them away and buy another one. You can just pick your color, and they'll give you the keys at the check out at Walmart.

How convenient!

Oh, and no need to be concerned about passenger safety. They're so small they literally trap your body inside if they get hit. Nice.

When will stupid Americans ever learn? Quit supporting foreign companies. Buy American.
