Freudian slip in the Chelfing Razzle's spec sheet
The Chelfing Razzle is just one in a parade of heinously dated-looking cars available to buyers in its home market of China. There's really nothing particularly interesting to report about the car itself, which the automaker describes as a blend of "Japanese style and Italian reliability, giving you the edge in the city," but a perusal of the spec sheet gives us some insight as to where Chelfing stands on the matter of female drivers. You'll find what we're talking about under the car's "safety" features, and for your convenience, we've pasted a screen-capture of it after the jump. Thanks to Sid for the tip!
UPDATE: It's satire. The best part is that it seems so entirely believable...

Also notable is the availability of "smog lights" and an iPod connector "on the steering wheel." The fun never ends. Hit the "Read" link below for the full description and spec sheet.

As I read the listing for the Prune XXX, a little yellow 'hoax' alert was going on in the back of my mind. When I clicked on the contact page, and read, "If you are woman, cat-owner, gay, ginger, or Hummer driver, please mention this in your email in order that we may direct your email appropriately to comply with strict Chelfing Automotive 'equal opportunities for all' law," it changed to 'red alert'. Then I noted, at the bottom of the page, "created at www.mrsite.com."
I call hoax...

Look, I hope you realise that this site is NOT REAL. There is no such brand as Chelfing. IT IS A JOKE!

While very very funny,
this is a fake site intended to make people laugh. It would be good if Autoblog did its homework.

This has got to be a hoax.
I looked at the SUV for kicks and there are 2 very humorous antecdotes,
one that size is measured in Length, width and Bigness.
and two, the special offer...
"Special offer ! This month only, test drive a Lunge at any participating dealer, and get a free weekend for 2 in exotic Macau. Wow ! Weekend includes flights, hotel and transfers for you and your Mistress. All the alcohol you can consume and all the fermented soyabean you can eat ! All inclusive ! See participating dealer for information, or simply email mail@chelfing.com with your name, address and contact email. Offer strictly limited, first come first served, good luck !"
This has got to be a joke.

Click on the Racing heritage tab.
"Chelfing has a long and proud racing heritage. Here are the highlights from 2007’s prestigious 24 hour Beijing race, sponsored by Chelfing Automotive, and Kit-e-kat cat food."
While this site is funny it is not at all believable. You autoblog people are just lazy with poor reading comprehension.

What's a "ginger"?
Reply
DHG 1:48PM (7/25/2007)
A "ginger" is someone with red hair. They are considered a source of humour in the UK, and the butt of many jokes.
