What they don't say is, the test result was the worst in two decades!!!
The crash test dummies had to be taken apart to get them out, after about 30 minutes to open the door.

Chinese cars are like fortune cookies.
Smashing into million pieces when applying a little pressure, and inside you find the wisdom of the past (the long forgotten past).





ADAC website, the actual test.

The Brilliance scored 1 star, out of five.

They must be making them in the same factory as that poisoned toothpaste and killer animal food!

At least the car is appropriately badged 'BS'.
That thing should not be released on the streets.
