I cease to rejoice over this piece of news! if it were a notable brand it would have been something to make merry about. for goodness sakes, which brand is hawtai? I'm very very sure the range of vehicles they make a crappy and substandard; vehicles they wouldn't dare ship to europe or america. in our quest to become technologically independent we shouldn't compromise on quality. the chinese made cars in our market today, indeed, say a lot about their manufacturers mindset towards quality. just take a look at lifan, geely, smc etc.
