I rented a Mitsu ASX last year for a week, one of the most ghastly (modern) cars I've driven.
Was chatting to a motor journo the other day and he was telling us about the Haval H6 hybrid which will be out next year. It will be $10k cheaper than the RAV with better availability so will sell very well.
He recently tested the H6 Petrol and said he wouldn't recommend it, but if they stick to their current rate of improvement, they'll be making excellent cars in about 5 years.
gordo.
its becoming obvious the future is electric.
china sees this as their big strategic move
they have tied up volvo, tesla, GM, ford, bmw, merc and VW are basing their EV's out of there.
china may well just nationalise them and take them over.
china has trillions of dollars to invest.
it has planned cities to experiment with driverless cars.
EV's are pretty foolproof. more reliable then combustion engines.
i think china will corner the market the way japan did 50 years ago,
and they will make dammed sure their product is up to scratch from the get go.
all the other auto makers are going to struggle.
hyundai will be ok, they control their entire supply chain and south korea is also well set up for EV's
in aussie, i see city commuters in chinese made EV's and country people getting slammed with rocketing fuel prices and companies that have lost interest in petrols and deisels,
have you checked out teslas cybertruck?
if not, you should.
the chinese will rip that off and it will dominate
