Great Wall: What a name for a car!\u00a0 However, it\u2019s not all about the name.\u00a0\u00a0 But I do think they could have come up with something a little more romantic or exotic.\u00a0 Something with a little more panache would have served them better.\u00a0 Shuan means river, and it has a nice elegant sound to it.\u00a0 Shan means mountain.\u00a0 Shan XR8 would do the trick.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Perhaps not Dong, Lu or Ning.\u00a0 Fukien means \u2018happy establishment\u2019, but for the European it sounds a little close to\u2026 something else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some poor soul has to get the lucky job of naming a vehicle for a country with a different language and culture.\u00a0 I shouldn\u2019t poke too much fun at the Great Wall Motors car manufacturing team, as, globally, the vehicle sales are definitely picking up. And you definitely can\u2019t argue with the price.\u00a0 A Great Wall Motors 4×4 SUV vehicle is only going to hit you up for under $24k in Australia.\u00a0 With ABS, airbags and a number of high end features onboard, Great Wall Motors can\u2019t be beaten on value.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With this sort of competition, one thing I do hope will happen is that a new Mercedes Benz or BMW might become a little cheaper for the average Joe Bloggs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All Great Wall models come with a three year\/100,000 kilometre warranty.\u00a0 And this is as good as you\u2019ll find elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So far the Great Wall utes and SUVs are standing up to the test.\u00a0 Would I buy one?\u00a0 I definitely would if I had the need.\u00a0 I think that the new price holds so much \u2018bang for the buck\u2019 that for three years, at least, you\u2019ve got it made.\u00a0 For the same price, the alternative vehicle would be someone\u2019s discarded work vehicle with medium ks on it – and not under warranty.\u00a0 I know which one I\u2019d prefer. http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/sms-finance-express-zaimy-na-kartu.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
