A laughable accusation - the safest cars on sale, the first company to consistently get 5-Star safety ratings (well, the first to advertise it at the very least) are considered too unsafe by a country producing cars that try to fold in half at 30mph? Puh-lease. They're safer than this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOFIt9iw1Fs&eurl].

wtf did they make the car out of in that crash test to turn into origami!

Origami is a Japanease thing, sworn mortal enimies of the Chinease. As a spokes person for the People's Republic of China and the Party, I am sorry to inform you that Peugeot does not meet the Chinease emissions standards, and regretfully, Citroen have too low lead levels in its paint - these are now also banned from the Chinease market. The 2CV Dalai Lama edition is right out.

I hate to bring up Top Gear's Enemies, but this is interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fLg8eQaPyE&NR=1 Now, after watching that, what would that Chinese car that Mikeado do in a similar situation? Probably would be cut in half.

How ironic. In other countries, new chinese cars are usually reported by owners to smell like pesticide was sprayed inside. And some, unfortunately, are frequently found under a mechanic's hand. Rubbish.

China does quality now? Excuse my while I faint with shock.

lol, i don't know which cars renault sell in China, but whatever they are, this is bullshit...

The Chinese complaining about the safety on any other country's cars is like a chip shop complaining about the cooking in a Michelin 5 star restaurant.

That line about Ronaldo was bloody brilliant.

Would make sense if the country that was banned is Italy... China's got social issues with the world now. I guess its like having an anti-social living across the street?

They don't want to import cars from Europe. I think we should stop importing things from China until they stop this nonsense.

China's car is dangerous

I hate Renault so good on the Chinese. I bought a brand new clio for the other half and it was recalled no less than 3 times in the first year for faults.Then 2 years in the engine blew, the mounting had to be replaced and the sun roof rattled and leaked. Bought a VW Golf 3 months after for myself and its still going having had just 3 services (By me) and 116K on the clock. Still has the first exhaust and all i have changed is the oil, brakes and tyres! Amazing cars.

Keep in mind these accusations are coming from a country who allowed children's toys to ship globally with lead paint in them. Then again Renaults haven't been sold in the Colonies in nearly 20 years, so they maybe on to something.....

One of those lifechoices: would you rather A) have the Dalai Lama as a (honorary) citizen of Paris, or B) sell 1.000 Renaults yearly in Beijing at a horrific discount, risking day by day that they'll copy the design and sell it even cheaper on their own? Hm, I don't know... Gimme a minute...

Can I just start by saying. That China have got a bloody cheek , dont you think. I mean have you seen the way this car performs in a crash test compared to any Renault on sale. And secondly , the second safest car maker , in the world , HAPPENS TO BE RENUALT. Second only to Volvo, who use airbags as bed pillows. The design is better. And quality standards low, have the seen their design, and their interiors , and their panel gaps ,and their unrefinement , and anything that gets impoted from China is usually flat packet, or smaller than your little toe , so quality as a whole is crap in China. And Renault wouldnt have a market in 118 countries. I'm sorry China , but your reasons are crap , your logic is crap , and you couldnt identify a real car , if you were run over by a Rolls Royce.

What, if all the countries give honorary citizenship to the Dalai Lama, so China will have to ban all foreign cars, and use up all it's home made "pieces of sh...adow" like the Brillance. OMG, I'm sure, the world would be a lot better. Huh-huh!

A-pillar... what A-pillar? Ha! You're not even safe outside of the car what with the Brilliance's giant glass shard launcher (0:55 - 1:00)... which comes standard. What a joke.

Link to this comment

I think Top Gear should buy a Brilliance (gotta love that name) and subject it to the same tests they've put the Indestructilux through. Just to see in the end if there's any car left to nurse back to life. Or better, get a Brilliance and a Laguna and orchestrate a head on collision. I bet the Laguna would come out the other end of the Brilliance unscathed.

Wow i didnt now china did quailty control checks most renaults have 5* EURO NCAP ratings what is the problems with the damn commies

Link to this comment

i always concidered chinese to be stupid ( AND I STILL DO ) come on now ive been in a car crash while i was in a laguna. and the other retarts were in a nissan almere when the ambulance came i was walking around like nothing happened while one of the lads in the almera broke his neck and his arm. IM NOT JOKING!!!!!!!!

OMG, you have to love the Chinese, those little men have balls. I just laughed harder than I did watching the first new episode of TG. Renault unsafe? I saw a chinese car once, if I licked it it would have fallen over all crumpled. I would prefer a Tata Nano. This nonsense even makes the Americans and Iranians look like well educated, civilised folk.
