This week Russia's Economic Development and Trade Commission announced they are rejecting applications from Chinese automakers to build factories in Russia; it's also come to light that the one Chinese firm with a Russian factory license is likely to have theirs revoked. Why? Well, take a look at this crash test of the Chinese-made Chery Amulet, which is actually worse than the last Chinese crash test we posted (and we didn't think that was possible).
To see what's supposed to happen in an offset crash test, take a look at this 2004 Volvo.
For even more head-shaking evidence, have a gander at some Volvo 740 crash tests...using technology more than 20 years old! (Footage from the '80s, featuring more than a few kooky types of crashes.)
