that is horrible... that car should not even be on showrooms. How can that company have the gull to sell that disaster and put people's lifes in harm? humanity means nothing if there are dollar signs involved.

Wonder if they were trying to cut cost and save weight with some sort of polyurethane frame. I dont think we'll ever see that car on the roads in America.

That makes me sick. The thought of people buying one of those, not knowing what they are getting into.
