Chinese cars have been in the news lately, as they — to many — represent a threat to the American auto industry. At the same time, they represent a potential relief in what many see as an overly expensive EV landscape, and thus a way to potentially get more people to give up gas guzzlers […]
Don’t chinese EVs catch fire more then the west?
Also given China’s track record for reliability and quality, I’d say this entire topic is just misleading and false. Driving something for a week is NOT the same as owning it for 5 years. High chance the cars do not last the length of the loan.
You seem…yeah…added to the list.
We have a shitload of Chinese cars on the roads here in Australia, and you see them pop up for sale only a few years after being bought brand new at extreme discounts for a reason; they’re cheaply built pieces of shit that aren’t reliable and lure buyers in with fancy aesthetics and tech. I drive a 2010 Japanese import Toyota Crown, and it’ll outlast any of these Chinese made cars.
China is trying to get a foothold in the west, and they’re using cheap vehicles as part of that strategy during a cost of living crisis. It’s a smart strategy, admittedly, because the downsides won’t be apparent to the average person for a long time. The US really should be helping reduce the price tag on domestically produced cars if they want to stem the flow of Chinese EV’s hitting the roads, but the government and automakers seem to be averse to that. People without money are going to pick what they can afford, for better or for worse…
This is exactly my point. They might make something that looks good comparable to anywhere else, but the quality is trash and can easily be dangerous. They care even less then ‘the west’.
The downvotes on my comments I’m assuming are paid actors to push some agenda that China cars are good when the reality is the literal opposite.
People aren’t dumb, they know China’s shit standards.
That’s close minded as hell. I don’t know enough to disagree with you about this, but suggesting that anyone who disagrees is a paid actor is wild. Lots of people are car fans and have emotional attachments to cars. Downvoting because someone really likes a specific Chinese car seems significantly more likely.
They’re already doing consumer report stuff on them and some companies like BYD are scoring high on reliability.
Stop focusing on the negative. Look at all those gadgets!
Any sauce?
Anywhere?
I’m guessing the opposite of what you guessed.
Same sauce
Hey, let’s not let facts get in the way of our preconceived notions!
here’s your easily searchable proof…
Are you seriously asking me to prove Chinas track record that shows they are notorious for making subpar quality goods and flooding markets with them?
JD power china agrees
It’s literally common knowledge that China makes nice looking garbage. Nothing they make lasts compared to the rest of the world. Stop being a shill.

FROM YOUR TREMENDOUS RESEARCH:
They’re LITERALLY the same!
You said something about “shill”?
Where is the Chinese brand in that post?
Don’t trust Chinese products with your life please. Their track history doesn’t lie.
