what a TRAITOR you are   it wasnt the iron  it was glass that failed... ..

Next time the Abos have a whinge about Whorty, they should be thankful the Chinese didn't discover Australia. They'd all be in reeducation camps and there'd be a funicular up Ayres Rock.

Sort of like the VWs that fiddled the computer to pass emission testing eh?

Or the mighty Toyotas that have a class action against them for their DPF failures.

Remember the days of "map crap datsun"
Now the best cars in the world are Jap made.

Given time, all manufacturers will up their game,  and some will drop the ball.

At least those rust bucket DEATH traps, Australian made just Holden together and Fix Or Repair Daily are gone.

The road toll would improve greatly except that our grubberment can't make roads for shite.

No, nothing like that. VWs arent defective, one of the best cars around.

Again, invalid comparison, toyotas have a clogged diesel filter on a small number of vehicles, again that doesnt make them defective.

Classic fords and holdens are worth a bomb of money, the old Holdens were the best cars ever made, I had one did 500,00 miles without missing a beat.

Roads are pretty good where i am, go to China, travel 10 ks out from the city and tell me how good the roads tracks are. but again, just another opportunity for you to complain about something, or everything. Really, people like you are a net negative to this country,.

They don't stack up economically in any way, even if they're running after warranty, they're worthless.

Beijing Benz Automotive Co., Ltd is a joint venture between BAIC Motor and Daimler AG. As of 22 November 2018, a full two million Mercedes-Benz vehicles had been built in China by this alliance.

Apparently, Daimler-Benz was also having discussions about making battery-powered Smart cars in China with BYD Auto,

Honda Motor Co has a joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC Group) and planned to invest 3.27 billion yuan ($469 million) in 2019 in new-energy vehicle manufacturing in China, probably with the Trumpchi badge. Toyota's joint venture is with GAC and the companies planned to build an electric vehicle under the GAC logo.[25] Nissan operates in China under a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Group Co Ltd. A report in early 2018 indicated that the alliance planned to build a new manufacturing plant in Wuhan, China in addition to expanding the Dongfeng plant in Changzhou to increase capacity.[26] A late August update stated that Nissan and Dongfeng Group planned to invest roughly $900 million to eventually increase the production of Nissan vehicles in China to as many as 2.1 million per year. By September 1, 2018, Nissan's first electric sedan for the Chinese market, the Sylphy Zero Emission, was in production.

VW and Audi cars are manufactured in China by Volkswagen Group China under two joint-venture partnerships: FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen. They have sold 30 million cars as of November 2018.[28] In 2018, the alliance opened three new FAW-Volkswagen plants in China: in Qingdao, Foshan and Tianjin.[29] By 2019, the Audi expected to be making seven new SUV vehicle models in China.


BMW and Chinese partner Brilliance Automotive Group Holdings expected to make 520,000 cars in China during 2019.[32] In October 2018, the German company announced that it will spend €3.6bn ($4.16 billion) to increase ownership of Brilliance Automotive from 50% to 75%. BMW also planned to invest over €3bn to boost manufacturing in China as part of a goal to manufacture more than 650,000 units with Brilliance, starting in the early 2020s. The German company also made an alliance with Great Wall Motor to build electric-powered Mini cars in China for the domestic market.[33]

Jaguar Land Rover operates a joint venture with Chery. A news report in July 2018 suggested that the company was considering increasing their investment to create a new model for China; a late October report about the Jaguar Land Rover turnaround plan, however, did not outline any plan to proceed with this concept.[34]

The entire Volvo Cars company has been owned by the Chinese company Geely since 2010 and manufactures most of the XC60 vehicles in China for export to various countries as well as the local market. Other cars made in China (as of late 2018) for both the local market and for export include the Buick Envision, Ford Focus Active, Volvo S90 and the Cadillac CT-6 plug-in. (Prohibitive tariffs announced by the US in 2018 were expected to significantly reduce auto exports to that country.)[35] Geeley also has investments in Daimler, AB Volvo (the manufacturer of trucks, buses, construction equipment, and engines)[36] and Lotus.[37][38][39]

Lithium is an intermediate technology, at best. The modern Lithium battery was invented by a Japanese in the 80s.
