DETROIT - Another Chinese automaker shows vehicles this year at the motor show in Detroit, raising the perennial question when these companies could sell in the United States.
Years of response from now, according to the automakers and industry observers alike.
Chinese manufacturers have announced plans over the past decade for export to the United States only to return them to later face the United States pass safety tests and emissions and building a network they dealers must also overcome significant obstacles to convince car buyers in the US that Chinese cars are still the quality they demand, Chinese companies are interested in the forward sale in the prestigious - and potentially profitable - market.
The fact that they're showing in Detroit really doesn t mean they re coming, said Michael Robinet, managing director of IHS Automotive Group re They showcase their re in the game, looking to expand beyond indoor market.
All cars made in China sold in the United States would probably come to the lower segment of the market for different types of vehicles, said tap, where they would compete in the already bustling market of used cars buyers will have to decide if better to buy a used car made by General Motors and Toyota, for example, or a new car from a company that has just arrived on US shores.
John Humphrey, vice president of global operations from automotive to JD Power and Associates, said the quality of Chinese built vehicles has improved, but they still lack the general fit and finish that car buyers expect and consumers experience with products made in China waves they encounter daily in the stores color their expectations on new cars.
There's a general perception of goods from China, to be fair or unfair, they are relatively under-par, Humphrey said.

Other companies pegged 2009 as a year where the vehicles made in China would be offered for sale in the U S but this year went by without coming to the market.
In addition, Chery and brands including Great Wall Motors export sedans, minivans and sport utility vehicles to Russia, Algeria, Chile and other developing markets yet, Chinese automakers sell most time at home, where the China Association of automobile manufacturers reports that they had 41 2 percent of the market in 2014. they re be in China by pressure on global automakers established, the same companies that dominate the US market .
They compete mainly on price, and in recent years have begun to update their design, said Yale Zhang, managing director of Automotive Foresight, a research firm in Shanghai.
The quality has improved, but it is not there yet to enter mature markets such as Western Europe and the U S, Zhang said in U challenges include setting up distribution in an unknown market where laws local prohibit direct sales to customers, said Zhang.

Robinet said it is now more difficult than ever for automakers to make their first steps in a developed market like the US It is expensive to ship from China, he noted, and it took decades for south Korean car manufacturers, for example, to fully establish themselves in the U S.
It is a huge undertaking and you can t go wrong, says IHS You could only tap a chance.
