Due to the severe deformation of the car, the likelihood of occupants surviving the crash was low.

However, according to a wire report carried by Forbes.com, a heavily strengthened version of BS6 has been tested in Spain[5] by Idiada Automotive Technologies SA.

Brilliance was planning to market the car in America, but its price would have been at least $25,000, slightly higher than the already established Toyota Camry.

[6] According to automotive data provider JATO Dynamics, combined European Union sales of the BS4 and BS6 were only 502 units from 2007 to 2009, with only 46 BS6's sold in the EU in 2009.

[7] Sales ended in early 2010,[8] but nonetheless, Brilliance appears to be back again, this time as Shenhua Motors GmbH.
