At this point, if they are already starting production, I wonder why they still have cheesy photoshopped photos and no real MPG numbers listed....

I'm all for cheap Chinese knock-off vehicles but I mean, if you want to market something, make an attempt to make it look legit.

Also, nothing wrong with using the Metro engine. That's a solid little banger. But, the photo that they have showing is of a 1.3L 4 cyl model. The 3 cyl SOHC looks completely different...

The proof is in the pudding. I'd hold off until I see/hear about real people's experiences.

I'll never understand why companies feel they have to over-sell their product to the point of almost falsifying things to sell it. For me, as a consumer, I get sucked in by honest down to earth people. As soon as I feel that someone is trying to doop me or con me into something, I'll probably never go back.
