Chinese-made cars now offered for sale in North America!

I just read in the latest issue of Consumer Reports (March 2012 issue) about the problems with fires in home appliances from coffee makers to refrigerators. In many cases, the fires were traced to components imported from other countries. Many of these faulty components did come from China. Several years ago, Consumer Reports tested lawnmowers and mowers that had Briggs and Straton engines manufactured in China had engine problems. I would be concerned about the quality and durability of an automobile manufactured in China.
