Instead of self-fooling for 60 years or so with a fake brand vs ford falcon, had you made your own brand like China now you would have not argued Chinese vs Japanese cars. If you import overseas cars, doctors, engineers, now the result you put up with.

                    @SYLTB: What on earth are you dribbling about. Get a tissue. A brand is a brand, period. Australia had local car manufacturing that was simply not sustainable in a globalized economy. China has bought many brands. And where ever China cannot buy, they have conducted biblical scalel intellectual and technological theft to leap frog development that contiinues to this day. To add further, in recent years they strategically subsidize through the roof to exploit western competition standards including with cars. It's all genius, and now they make some fantastic stuff (that hopefully lasts longer), but it is all sinister as &^%!.

        China is doing to the auto industry what they did to general manufacturing 20+ years ago. It’s not going to be viable to build a car outside of China without huge tariffs in place to protect home industries.

        Add on the change to electrification which in itself is a huge challenge to legacy auto and it’s easy to see why people think brands incl prestige brands like Audi/Merc are cooked.

        • +10

          It’s not going to be viable to build a car outside of China without huge tariffs in place to protect home industries.

          We are overestimating China's automotive industry and the adoption rate for EVs. EV sales are artificially boosted through government incentives in various jurisdictions. Relatively strong sales and YOY growth do not necessarily reflect future trend.

          FTFY: It's not going to be viable to build CHEAP, ELECTRIC, and may i add, CHINESE cars outside of China, FTFY.

          Chinese automotive manufacturing is not new. Every single Japanese and European brands have formed JV there. Their volume is only about 30%. yes it's a lot, but vast majority of cars are built outside of China still (~70%). US + Japan + Germany is about 30%, FYI.

          Every single German and Japanese manufacturer abandoned plans for pure EV-only future and restarted ICE R&D.

          Japanese manufacturers are joining forces (Toyota + Mazda + Subaru) and potentially Honda + Nissan + Mitsubishi in the future (M&A) to develop ICE and/or sharing platforms.

          Merc just redirected EV R&D for next-gen ICE, just invested about 14B euros. VAG dedicated quadruple that for its portfolio.

          These forces or rather corporations, combined are worth many trillions and they are in the best position to predict future trend. They have access to way more data and information than governments or any economists out there.

          • +4

            @dukeGR4: The Japanese manufacturers you mentioned are all shutting down some plants and their other plants winding back production in Thailand(The Detroit of SE Asia) Suzuki has totally shutdown there.The Chinese manufacturers are already building new production facilities and taking over plants vacated by the Japanese manufacturers to also build their EV's in Thailand.The Japanese have dropped the ball big time on this.China offering massive discounts on EV's in most countries,it will be difficult for others to compete.

            Exactly. Reports have surfaced of new, unsold EVs being dumped in yards across China. Manufacturers continue producing EVs solely to maintain high numbers and satisfy leadership. The substantial government incentives designed to position China as the world’s EV leader have resulted in an explosion of EV companies, driving intense competition. While this will likely lead to a more robust market as consolidation takes place and strong companies emerge (e.g. BYD, Geely, etc.), the ongoing bloodbath (e.g. the sudden collapse of Jiyue, a joint venture between Geely and Baidu), the waste of resources, and the inflated sales figures being widely quoted must also be recognised.

          • +3

            @dukeGR4: The main reason that legacy/ICE auto brands are refocusing on ICE is because they have realised that they can't compete on EVs, and that they actually have more chance trying to convince the masses that ICE is better for them. They have basically gone the way of the tobacco industry, but it won't last. It's only the older gens that have lived with ICE for years that can have their skepticism leveraged, any younger person will embrace EVs as a no brainer, provided they aren't brainwashed by FUD. This is what the legacy auo industry is counting on.

            • +1

              @Jackson: I'm not even old and I can't wait to switch to an EV (when my current ICE gets too old). I don't like the level of electronic complexity that they're building into cars now, but that seems to be the same with all cars - not exclusively EV's, so I may as well have fewer moving parts.

        • +3

          Chinese auto makers have learned everything they need to through joint ventures, and are now ready to do to the automotive market what they already did to solar PV: Total, and utter domination of the marketplace. Sure, you can still buy Japanese or South Korean panels, but they're much more expensive and almost no one wants them.

          It's the same thing that happened in Japan in the 1960s. Joint ventures set up with foreign makers, two decades to learn how to make quality cars, and then beating the legacy auto makers at their own game.

          If someone was looking at this, Telsa offerings may well not be that appealing or meet their requirements anyway. BYD perhaps better. That said, petrol guzzlers still are a much more known quantity, and more data behind what to expect especially with longevity. Time and improvements in battery tech/price will help EVs overcome this entirely.

        i've test drove it when it first came out and opted for a kluger instead, it's a bit asthmatic and underpowered for a car this size, i'm talking every day driving not drag racing P platers in a Mustang at the traffic lights. the hybrid version is a nicer drive but a big premium with price

        • For reference, Audi A4's 1.4 unit only makes 110Kw and 250Nm, merc C200's 1.5L unit makes 125kw and 250nm. CRV is actually a lot faster than both of these cars due to more power + better power to weight.

          It might feel asthmatic because of throttle mapping and maybe due to CVT gearbox but objectively speaking it's not a slow car by any means.

          • @dukeGR4: Yeah it's likely due to CVT, what a way to kill perceived performance, even when they go fast they feel slow

          • @dukeGR4: and both are underpowered cars designed for those wanting the cheapest 'luxury' badge they can buy

            @Mortgagetightass:

            Take it out on the twisty stuff, and the MG4 XPower doesn’t really feel any more hard-edged or involving than the single-motor Trophy on which it's based. You can feel the electronic diff and torque vectoring hard at work to help manage all 429bhp effectively, but the rather wallowy suspension setup leaves the car often feeling unsettled. With the increased speeds plus an extra 115kg courtesy of an additional motor to handle, those brakes soon begin to feel underpowered too.

            https://www.carthrottle.com/reviews/mg4-xpower-review-seriou…

        • -2

          Most of the extra tyre wear is from the instant acceleration. So if you are buying a car for performance, I can't see how you can complain about that.

          Extra weight only makes a small difference.

        • +1

          Torque has the biggest impact, so oldies like me have found zero difference in Tyre wear moving to EVs.

        The MG4 XPower doesn’t cost anywhere near AUD 20K. The cheapest used option on Carsales across the country is listed at AUD 45,490, while MG’s drive-away price is around AUD 59,900.

          You might want to go back and read what he wrote again. He said $20k LESS. Meaning For $20k LESS than the $70k of the Civic R you can get an XPower which is faster 0-100.
          Now a quick check tells me this is incorrect as the XPower driveways is $60k which is only $10k less, although you can get ex Demo's for $45k which IMO is a pretty good deal. (and read my history, I'm not an EV fanboy)

          Once that happens what do you think will happen to the prices?

          What happens when there’s geopolitical issues or another pandemic and the only car manufacturers all come from one country?

              Same as last 25 years are the top western co. Invest in there and give them the blue prints how factories should be built and the process of manufacturing their products.

              Chinese could supply man power and willingness to learn.
