Sooo...maybe it's a Daihatsu rather than a Xiali? |

Here this early one with Daihatsu badges, listed as Xiali 730CS:![[Image: 400.39.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/8212/400.39.jpg) According to Wikipedia, this would be an early 1986-1988 Xiali 730 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianjin_FAW |

Strange as this generation was introduced in 1987 in many countries it was model 1988. Earlier they assembled the older Charade, maybe that's the reason of confusion. |

Then Wikipedia must be referring to this car: Link to "www3.autoimg.cn" Maybe it's safer to keep this as Daihatsu Charade [G100]? |

It is described as 730? Because I don't see there 7 and don't understand the other signs  In my 90s catalog is written the same what today in en.wiki, that the 1986-88 old model was named TJ 730 and its 1988+ sucessor [G100] TJ7100, but they could have hole in knowledge (let alone, they simply could do mistake). In 1989/90 the names of Chinese cars have been changed from 3 digit system to 4 digits, this way I can imagine that Xiali [G100] had for a while, at the beginning, different name and after year or two has been renamed to TJ 7100. Everything depends on how much we can trust to picture you posted above, where the newer G100 model is named TJ 730 CS... It is also possible, that both old and new Xialis were named TJ 730 (new one for a while), but the new one was distinguished by these letters "CS". In case of buses, letters after number sometimes indicated their new versions/modifications, maybe it worked same way in this case... |

In that pic it just says that on September 30, 1986, they started assembling the car from original imported parts. Here above the pic described as TJ730: http://auto.sohu.com/20160119/n435038819.shtml |

I'd still list them as Xiali TJ 7100 then (like for now!) - this car too - early Chinese G100 also used parts from Japan = perhpas also were made from CKD kits, what can explain Daihatsu badge on some of them. |

These indeed started off as (TJ) 730 CS, I got my hands on two pictures where this is clearly still labeled as such (in two different designs!) on the left side of the trunk. "CS" was on the driver's side of the bootlid. I see a smudge on the driver side above the taillight, that could be the "CS" we are looking for. Wiki did probably mix up the old model with this one, as the older was also known as "TJ 730". It is sadly not uncommon for Wikipedia to get things wrong with chinese cars. -- Last edit: 2024-04-28 02:25:41 |
