"They (Chery Auto) are so head-and-shoulders above anybody who ever broke into the car business. They know what they're doing, they're sophisticated, they're intelligent, they're hard-working and ambitious - every good quality you'd ever want to have."¹

- Malcolm Bricklin, CEO and Founder, Visionary Vehicles LLC², in February 2006.

Introduction

On October 30, 2009, JD Power Asia Pacific³ released its 'Report of 2009 China Initial Quality Study⁴' in which Chery Automobile Company Limited (Chery) topped the compact and premium car segments with its QQ3 and QQ6 models respectively. This was the first time that a Chinese brand had won the top spot in two market segments. The report showed that the initial car quality in China had improved by 14% indicating that the quality gap between the Chinese and global automobile brands were narrowing. Jin Yibo (Yibo), Spokesman of Chery, said, "This prize is another confirmation of Chery's commitment to independent innovation and the establishment of an international brand.

Sales volume will no longer be thought to be the only target. Now, Chery is in pursuit of core competitiveness and operational quality of the enterprise as a whole."⁵
