Your girl's favorite


Chery QQ
Where are the days that Chinese girls were happy with a fake Gucci bag and a pair of shoes? China Car Times comes this weekend with the top-10 girl's cars and fortunately the number one is small and affordable, the Chery QQ:
What else could be Chinese womens ultimate favorite car ever other than a homegrown domestic car that costs peanuts to buy and pennies to run? Its small, its mega cheap, its funky, its everything a chic urban chick needs to get from A to B to C to D to E to F to G, and back to A again to buy the first thing she saw in the best possible way. China Car Times has several friends who have QQ’s, both male and female, and they regard it as the Chinese ‘Peoples Car‘ - a car that anyone can afford regardless of social standing. The QQ (now demoted to mere QQ3 after its ugly bigger sister, the QQ6 appeared) is still selling well despite the QQ6 showing up on the block. The QQ will definitely go down in history as a memorial to Chinas industrial development.
But on a scary 9th place we also see the Audu A4, worth five Chery QQ. "Size must matter, after all," remarks a snarky China Car Times.
My favorite girl is driving an Audi A4, but that is fortunately paid for by her company. That makes deciding easier.
The article has no trace of a source and even does no try to explain how the listing has been done, so the scientific value - unlike that of other listings - might be low.
