When Two Tribes Go To War!

Usually before Chinese New Year every Chinese person at least here in China goes nuts trying to make as much money as they can, pretty much the same with Christmas in the west – those gifts don’t come for free after all. When I say every person, I also mean every company as well, including Guangzhou Honda and Chery. Chery and Honda are about to engage in a price war with each other, Chery have massacred the $5,000USD Chery QQ6 price tag by $500USD and Honda followed suit with a price cut, although it is unspecified at the moment by how much. But the Honda Fit (The Fit is called ‘Jazz’ in other countries), one of the Chery QQ’s main rivals, is almost 100,000RMB. Who would want to pay twice the amount when you could have a brand new QQ6 for 40,000RMB?
