Manley ORV in 2019

Hi guys

Does anyone know whats going on with Manley ORV Company now?

I know that Josh (original owner) sold the company few years ago and apparently the second owner sold the company again, so now it ended up being a Chinese manufacturer with made in China trailers.

Current prices on their website seem to be carried over from the old days and look way too high for Chinese built stuff. On Alibaba they have the same trailers listed for around $2500-$3000/piece, give or take.

Also, it looks like they altered original design quite a bit and added those rather ugly square side steps (picture from one of many Alibaba listings):

So, did any of the fellow forum members purchase one of those Chinese-built Manleys or at least had a chance to see one in person? Wondering what is their quality now and is it something worth considerations at all?

Seems unusual that the Chinese company would actually bother to purchase an American company in order to produce the product, rather than just producing It Anyway under their own name.

I this case it looks like they're producing them under 'Manley ORV' name and using the old logo.
I've heard they even show these trailers on various Expos across US, that's why I'm wondering if anyone actually seen them in person.
