Default Queer eye for a straight car

Korean Hyundai's look positively classic alongside some of the atrocities they foist on the poor Aussie farmer like the Indian built Tata trayback or the Indonesian Jumbuck ute. Have we become a third world country already?
As to chinese copies, the "Beijing Jeeps" were available here in the early '90s, I think about 3 sold before they realised how bad they were! As for anything else, try going into a hardware shop, toyshop, clothing shop or buy christmas decorations, and see if you can find ANYTHING not made in China. And they are surprised that China is growing at 15% per year and will have the worlds largest economy by 2040.
