"This is the next-generation Sail," says Yale Zhang, director of emerging market vehicle forecasts in Asia for CSM Worldwide
GM has begun removing extras such as airbags and antilock brakes to move the Sail's price below the current 95,000 yuan
Oh boy! Now it will be less safe on the crowded Chinese roads!!
LOL
"There should be no problem to position the Kalos differently from the Sail - maybe as a higher-end family car," Zhang says.
I never really pictured the Kalos as a high end family car!
