Hi Daniel! I thought I must be the only foreigner in China to drive a Wuling bread van! One day I was driving some Chinese colleagues around, and got a great laugh from a toll booth attendant, who said she had never seen a white guy drive a mianbao che, let alone carrying Chinese passengers! I bought the Wuling van for my brewpub (FUBAR), and even though the pub is closed, I have kept the van. At times I am tempted to "upgrade" to a nicer vehicle, but this is just so practical for carrying my dog and crap around. Funny thing is, the Shenzhen license plate is worth more than the car! Now that I"m moving back to Huizhou full time, and rarely need go to Shenzhen, I may finally be motivated to trade for a more refined car.... but it couldn't possibly have more character.

For $10k, who can ask anything more? My roof top tent setup costs $5k here in the US. You buy this thing, you can sleep inside. And it has rear wheel drive!

For $10k I can easily overlook what it's missing. Because of that it will be easy to own and maintain .

Nice unbiased review of a practical people mover, and workhorse. GM spotted these serious down-country car builders, Wuling, some 18 years ago. Its decision to establish a tie-up has proven more than successful.

Son, before you were born, in the land of car world, U.S, millions of people die from cars that have no airbags and most trims were made out of metals and some even have pointy trims aiming right at your heart.

Most importantly, this car is stunningly reliable and requires only minimum maintenance, it was designed to be quizzed off every cent of your investment.

It's using Chevrolet engine. Wuling sells quite OK in Indonesia, unlike other models that fail. One of the wuling models here is Confero, same as older Honggguang, and people are usually reluctant to buy because of the weird design. This hongguang s model may sell better if sold in Indonesia, although the boxy and stiff model may still become concern for many. At least, this model is better than the older model.

I hope u can review wuling victory (hongguang's brother ) in the near future.

The suspension is unsettled because it has no load in the back. The suspension is tuned so that it can handle heavy loads. And these work vans can sell well everywhere. Cheap basic vehicles are very compelling for companies who want the best bang for buck. Think about the Chery 3 and Great Wall ute when they entered Australia. The ute sold better than the sedan because businesses were keen to save money. No one wants to pay extra for extra features when it's going to get dirty and only last 2 or 3 years before they repeat.

It’s a practical mini van or a cargo van (with back seats removed) for delivery in cities or contractors where you need lots of space but not a lot of speed with good mpg.

The price is simply too attractive. Basic, but practical for daily transportation, not for luxury and comfort.

When you said it "outsold the GM", I do wanna point out that the full name of Wuling is SAIC GM Wuling. If I'm not mistaken, GM holds bigger share in the joint venture than Wuling, which means GM takes more profit than Wuling for every single Hongguang they sold. And Wuling's whole 1.5 engine line up were derived from GM L2B series.

Considering that Wuling is 50 percent GM, I don't think it would be a problem for them if they want to bring it to other countries and add some extra safety features. The look, however, might be a bigger problem.
