Just saw this new model, anyone tested?

Qoros, a joint venture between Chery and Israeli investment firm Israel Corp, has released sketches of its upcoming compact sedan due to be unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor show. The European body style is clean and inoffensive but is not something that will make heads turn. Such styling theme is evident in the VW Group. The dashboard of the car adopts a minimalist approach and would not look out of place in a Skoda. Like Kia, another Asian brand, Qoros has recruited a foreign talent to head its design department. He is the former MINI design boss, Gert Volker Hildebrand. The sedan, internally known as C11, is expected to be powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine mated to six-speed manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission. Hybrid and electric versions are expected to follow later on. Qoros has set a goal to build all cars to achieve maximum NCAP crash ratings. The company is currently building a new production facility in China with an initial annual capacity of 150,000 units.

Chinese automaker Chery to supply engines to Italy's Fiat BEIJING - FIAT Group has announced it will buy engines from China's Chery Automobile Co, expanding the ambitious Chinese automaker's foreign ties just a month after it signed a deal with Chrysler to export cars to the United States. The agreement comes as global automakers look to China as a low-cost production base for export and the country's own small but fast-growing competitors try to expand sales abroad. Chery, China's biggest domestic automaker, will supply 100,000 1.6 and 1.8-litre engines a year for use in cars manufactured by Fiat in China and abroad, the two companies said in a joint statement. 'The agreement will give Chery increased competitiveness on the international market,' Yin Tongyao, president of 10-year-old Chery, said in the statement. Chery and Fiat Group, a subsidiary of Italy's Fiat SpA, are looking at 'further cooperation,' Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne said. Chery, based in the eastern city of Wuhu, signed a deal with Chrysler LLC in July on a low-cost production venture to export cars to the United States. Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda said the two companies would jointly develop future models. China overtook Japan last year to become the world's No. 2 vehicle market after the United States. Its automakers exported 325,000 vehicles last year, about 80 per cent of them low-priced trucks and buses for other developing markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America, according to the government. Chinese producers are eager to expand to US and European markets, but industry analysts say they lack the technology to meet environmental and safety standards on their own. More are expected to make deals like Chery's in hopes that foreign partners will improve their skills. 'The agreement means that Fiat, who had been testing Chery's engines during the past year, have recognized the technologies and quality of the engines developed by Chery,' said Chery's Deputy General Manager Zhou Biren. Last year, Chery reported sales of about 310,000 cars, with 40,000 of those exported. Its target this year is 390,000 cars, with 70,000 sold abroad. The company assembles vehicles with partners in Iran, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and Egypt. It announced plans in March to open its first Latin American factory in Uruguay with an Argentine partner. -- AP

Was at the Cherry QQ showroom today with my friend. I was shocked when the Cherry QQ salesman told my friend that the QQ shares the same engine as the Mitsubishi 1, only that the QQ engine does not come with turbo. Is this true? He said that Mitsubishi 1 owners pay over S$50K for their car, but Chery QQ owners get the same engine for only S$32K, enjoying a savings of over S$20K!
