      interesting, can't believe how much they look like the ODG Argo. I wonder how much and if they will make it to the US. I'd like a close look at the drive train just too see, but I'd still rather have my 10 year old Argo than a new China one.

          That was my first thought too...I wouldn't trade my 1993 real Argo for a brand new chinese one...

            I wonder who they are appealing to in the video. They all look like proper Chinese military. Nothing like the friends I drive with. I want to see a Chinese "Redneck" with a beer in one hand driving one.
            "Still wouldn't buy one" Probably selling at WalMart soon the way things are going.

                  That's all i need is a Wenliang set of tires. No thanks China! Keep you junk over there!

                    You guys haven't been flooded with chinese rubbish yet?Over here it's about all you can get.Motorbikes,quads you name it,as long as it's made of plastic and poor quality they import it over here.You'll get about a year out of it and then it's landfill,that is of course in that year it hasn't exploded and killed you.Carby and fuel problems are common.The bolts used to hold there stuff together seems to made of lead but you can rely on it to fail.That explains why their always finger tight I guess.

                          I bet somewhere in china there is an Argo in pieces.This is Chinese research and development.Why not,there government respects no copyrights or trademarks.Also the plastic that's the main ingredient of there rubbish is flexible until the sun gets to it then it becomes very brittle and the color fades,about 6 months.I speak through experience.You will pay.These things are available in Australia and are about 14 grand,about 12USD and I must admit I would buy if I was a fool ,that's why I have to build my own.Just think,about a third the price and about a tenth the quality.Boys,buy your own countries quality products.

                            Swamp witch i feel you pain. Yes we have been flooded with this junk, our wonderful government has either ran out(Tobacco Companies) paying $30-35 and hour or allowed the Chinese to flood or state with cheap imports to drive the rest out. Those who have a job are fortunate but under tremendous strain and pressure to go under and allow the Chinese to do all the manufacturing, this was what Gore(watched his interview) was talking. We are going to all be into the production of energy. No jobs there yet He is a environmentalistyea sure! He's a piece of work. So send the jobs over to China/India which has no regulation on environment or safety(6,500 die each year in coal mines, that's the ones that they report). The question i want a answer to is if we all have no jobs who will be buying this junk and where are your children going to work? This battle i have been fighting for many a year, it started with me in the 80's, but people just laughed.

                            So do you think i want a Chinese AATV: WHEN PIGS FLY!
