It's funny, a few decades ago everyone said they would NEVER buy a Japanese car, now Toyota is the largest manufacturer in the world. A decade ago everyone sneered at the Koreans, now Hyundai is the fastest growing manufacturer in the world. Go figure. Give them time and the Chinese will be a mighty force. While I agree their cars are quite basic, they are cheap, and do what most will want of them. I still wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole, but then again I drive a car made in Germany, from an American company that's distributed by Ford Australia.
