In China product is far more important than human life

It's a 1980 VW Transporter T2

What is it with all the dumb fucking anti-Chinese propaganda?

Big Beef Burritos Supreme - 2008-06-25

Actually, T3...

Still, there was nothing on the market in 1980 that wasn't like this at this speed - which I suspect is significantly higher than 40mph.

Five stars for spotting this, BBBS. The description should be changed to have "Chinese" in quotes.

BOOSH! should be a tag. I think in this case, it's the perfect onomatopoeia of what just occurred.

The truck was barred from selling *what* in Europe? Its cargo?

Having spent some time in China, I've seen firsthand what it's like when this model of truck rear ends a city bus at speed. Not pretty at all. Yet, the assembly line continues.

They're making a profit somewhere with it. I bet there are a shitload of these things in some backwater country somewhere.

This is the result of letting migrant workers design your vehicle.

zatojones - 2008-06-25

I like how the cab collapses completely, that's some great design work there.

That's a crumple zone.

"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

That's okay. They can just drive it in reverse everywhere, putting the impervious cargo area ahead of them.

No amount of Chinese Fire Drilling can save you.

Actually it'd help a great deal if you were out of the car when this happens.
