Since the Chinese exporters have such low labor costs - around $2 an hour - they can afford to pack the cars with standard features like electronic stability control, antilock brakes and rear-view cameras for parking assistance. Nor are the cars being designed with drab proleterian styling. The highly regarded Italian design shop Pininfarina produced the interior and exterior styling of the Liebao line.

Time's put-down of the Ford Motor Co. was way out of line.

I didn't expect pulse-pumping pickup and didn't get it. But the five-speed manual I drove shifted smoothly in L.A. traffic. The steering was responsive, the ride firm, and during the brief spells in which I clocked more than 10 m.p.h. on the clogged freeway...
