Western brands don’t care cause they just lobby to ban them from the west.

It's not just brands that should fear it, but also people living in cities. Say no to SUVs, even if you "sometimes go to camping, once or twice a year" (yeah, that's the justification for everyone buying them).

All Western car makers are already shitting themselves because of Chinese cars. Have been for at least a few years now.

Even Ford's CEO openly said that Chinese EVs are better, more technologically advanced, and cheaper than Western cars. He also said that after driving a Xiaomi car for 6 months he doesn't want to go back to Western cars.

Again, this is the CEO of Ford.

Looks like Rolls-Royce Cullinan from China.

Given the quality of some of their cheaper cars, this is a probably a shitbox.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You mean "their" as in general to the whole Chinese car industry including the shitboxes sold by GM under the Buick brand? Or only Xiaomi cars?

Because Xiaomi exclusively sells luxury cars, their other "cheaper" model costs $35k, maybe you are confused for another brand?

Do you work for the company? Jebus.

Thanks for the ad. I really needed it.

Can we just fucking STOP doing SUVs please? And huge trucks. And all the rest of that oversized garbage.

But I like being able to see over everyone else

  • everyone

At this point I'm planning to see under everyone else.
