Automotive Wind of Change From China | Business & Economics | Deutsche Welle |

China has entered the European car market, with the recent sale of 200 "Landwind" model SUVs, manufactured by Jiangling. The Landwind seems to be based on the Opel Frontera, but at 30 to 40 percent below the cost of the competition. The wholesaler, 27-year-old Peter Bijvelds, is hoping to sell 2,000 this year.

While the vehicle is made in China, the engine is built by Mitsubishi and the diesel motor is from General Motors, according to this article.
