CHERY KARRY (2008-CURRENT)

We Say...
Chery says it's an innovative concept, but we bet to differ. Get something that's reminiscent of the Nissan AD Resort and add a taller roofline and presto, the Karry. Aside from the misspelled name, the Karry offers little in innovation. Sure, it seats seven in a pinch and is powered by a respectable 1.6-liter engine, but refinement and build quality aren't part of its vocabulary.
It seats 7 and it's darn cheap.
Cheaper than a second-hand fridge van.
