Get ready Americans the Chinese will soon be introducing great gas mileage automobiles into the U.S. market. Many of the designs are quite sexy and the cost to make them is less than one-third. The Chinese hope to take these great gas mileage machines of theirs and compete against General Motors, Ford, Honda, Daimler Chrysler, Toyota and Kia. These small compact cars will be about 22 percent better gas mileage and are sure to strike a cord with the American consumer, provided there is not too much backlash from automaker union workers.

With Toyota up 17 percent on there market share against General Motors and Ford, it appears that Toyota will have the most to lose, however General Motors and Ford cannot afford to lose anymore. The Wall Street Journal reported that these Chinese mid priced cars will be here is soon as 2007. This is not give American automakers much time to get their act together and start selling more high mileage, economically enhanced and environmentally friendly automobiles.

For those that doubt if Americans will let Chinese automobiles become the automobile of choice and fork over $20,000 to old one; I would suggest that you review your recent history and look at the market exploits of Kia, Daewoo and Hyundai which each stole market share away from the Honda Accord, Toyota Tercel, Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus, Ford Escort, Chrysler K-car and even General Motors hot selling Geo found it difficult to compete. The Chinese are coming and they are going to sell us cars and lots of them.
