<img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/dongfeng-hummer-5-copy.jpg" alt="" />"Hand-crafted" can be something of a double edged sword in the car business. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/rolls-royce/">Rolls-Royces</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/aston-martin/">Aston Martins</a> are hand-made treasures that show off their artisans' decades of experience. The attention to detail is obsessive. <br />
<br />
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 "<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/hummer/">Hummer</a>" falls solidly into the latter category. <br />
<br />
The Beijing Motor Show presented our first opportunity to see one up close. Now, love 'em or hate 'em, a <em>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 <em>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.<br />
