\n\"\"“Hand-crafted” can be something of a double edged sword in the car business. Rolls-Royces<\/a> and Aston Martins<\/a> are hand-made treasures that show off their artisans’ decades of experience. The attention to detail is obsessive. <\/p>\n

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are machines that look like they were haphazardly slapped together by some drunken hack in a toolshed. This Dongfeng “Hummer<\/a>” falls solidly into the latter category. <\/p>\n

The Beijing Motor Show presented our first opportunity to see one up close. Now, love ’em or hate ’em, a real <\/em>H1 has that genuine military-industrial chic going for it. This vehicle, however, was a hot mess of the first order. The tires had painted-on<\/em> whitewalls that looked as if they were applied by someone with a five-minute deadline, a paintbrush, and a gallon jug of Wite-Out. Truly, it’s something very special to behold.<\/p>\n
