Buy a Kantanka SUV - designed and built in Ghana

I see no reason not to buy a Kantanka SUV. After all the entire car and engine is designed and built in Ghana.
"Safety is 100% guaranteed"
"Affordability is assured"
and "100% customer satisfaction"
they even have a hybrid model available as well.

With testimonials like this direct from the company marketing who needs details like Horsepower, weight, airbags, crash testing, warranty, replacement parts supply, independent testing, insurability or reliability.
In other news China secures new access to Ghanian diamond and gold mines.

"12. By buying Kantanka Automobiles, you are demonstrating to the world that you are proud to be Ghanaian/African. It is also a show of confidence in Ghana and Africa of which you, your family and lovely kids form part."

Seems like a good reason to buy one....

I am guessing they are not imported into the USA.

China has a huge economic presence in Africa. I'll bet if they are designed and built in Ghana, China had a lot to do with it.

It's easy to forget that, at least until one is confronted with a cold steel kantanka...

The company is led by an Apostle Doctor. How can you compete with THAT?

Better yet, check out where the rear missile pod is aimed.

They also have a nice tank. I will have to find the video.

I think I will buy two. However, I will have my representative claim it for me as I'm an oceanographer on a research vessel in the middle of the Indian Ocean...

I'm sure that tank uses only the finest armor-plated, run-flat ATV tires. They are undoubtedly prominently placed as a defensive tactic; enemies of the tank who are not knowledgeable of the tires' impervious nature will be distracted and concentrate weapons fire to the far corners of the vehicle, allowing the tank gunners to pick them off with ease.


(That's the first time I've ever bothered to use green font. How am I doing?)

The vehicles on that website look like rebadged Nissans or Kias.

Why does the tank poop bowling balls?
