Back in '06 Malcolm Bricklin (remember the Fiat and Yugo?) was trying to get the Jilli on track for marketing in the U.S., but he couldn't get the Chinese mfr to meet U.S. specs. That's all history now.

A Chinese company was in negotiations with the manufacturer of the HumVee to purchase its operations. It was announced just last week that that deal fell through.

It'll be interesting to see what comes up next.
