Well Check Ball, you seem to be very precise so yes, you're wrong : the spanish part is not "nothing more than a subsidiary", it's a full part of EC called Eurocopter España (thank's for them).
Sorry, I miss understood your point : just a critique exercised to a certain helicopter manufacturer isn't it ? So why did you speak about car manufacturers in your first post and "great" nations in your second ?...
Anyway, happy that you're only after the French and Chinese (mind, you don't know them well…), the German and Spanish don't deserve it.
And if the 120 is not amazing, it's quite a good aircraft. God, how is this possible ?!!! 
Return to the topic : about the 175, it flies, that's all we can say at the present time.
