              @peterc: Lol. Telsa went to China years ago and teach them how to manufacture ev and build their facotyr to Tesla spec.

              Then the Chinese learn.

              People always think Chinese magically invented these processes.

              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.

            @PainToad: It's not just related to Chinese subsidies.

            The main cost of an electric car is the battery, and given battery pricing continues to fall through the floor with improvements in tech and new manufacturing, it won't matter whether it's the Chinese, Koreans or Americans making the cars, electric cars will just keep getting cheaper.

              @twig: and soon it's India's turn but not sure when. We are seeing NICs moving up the supply chain, and have more capability to indigenously produce and develop goods and services, especially in the heavy industry sector. .

              Did people forget how Japan popped out of nowhere in the late 60s, started exporting TVs, Bikes, Radios, Cars and anything with a chip, made them cheaper and better than everyone else and killed virtually all competition.

              in the spirit of free-market, every now and then you need a Thanos-like figure to wake the industry the fk up. For the most part humanity made the most technological advancements during war-time, borne out of necessity. Thank god we live in a market economy, where advancements are made without blood being shed. Consumers should feel happy tbh and I am very optimistic about the future.

            @PainToad:

            Their aim is to destroy the competition so the only option is Chinese cars.

            I take that you're referring to dumping, but dumping only really exists if it's sold BELOW the price of the exporter's market. AFAIK, Chinese cars are actually MORE expensive here than in China.

            I've been wondering: Why is it global domination, dumping, destroying the competition etc when China does it? Didn't Japanese and Koreans do the same thing? Japanese and Korean companies received hella lot of assistance (direct and indirect) from their governments too (especially Koreans), and afaik the biggest argument against Chinese automotive expansion is they receive favourable kickbacks/subsidies from CCP.

            Looking at Chinese portfolio as a whole, the only two "Western" brands that got bought out were Volvo and Lotus (as part of Proton acquisiton) but they are both not so signficant in the grand scheme of things. So what are you folks worried about even.

            Some of the more established Chinese brands like Nio, Geely, Chery (Omoda and Jaeco) have offices around the globe and hiring talents from around the world for R&D. AFAIK, it's mostly European talent. Their tactic is exactly identical to that of Hyundai and Kia in my opinion. Kia and Hyundai both hired German talent to be precise, ex-Audi and ex-BMW respesctively.

            If you ask me, it comes down to skill issue really. A Yaris is pushing close to $30k, Corolla $36k, on top of the months long wait. Then you have Chinese, cheap, and affordable. I don't like their cars, but I can see WHY people get them. They simply come in to fill a gap.

              @dukeGR4: They have not come in to fill a gap. They have forced it. Strategically brilliant. Something us in the west have long since lost the stomach for. To undercut the competition through a cheaper cost base requires a wide array of factors that all add up. Of course the labour base, government subisidies, which in a communist country there is no transparency of, not having had to do all the same expenditure on R&D that the competition did (organic IP aquisition as part of allowing a company to operate in china, plus huge scale IP and technological theft they are gifted the fruits from) + more.

              With where technology is now with automation, advanced manufacturing, their ever increasing strangle on rare mineral/resources and the like to further manipulate cost base all benefiting from domestic and international demand. It's genius. There is alot to admire, if not ultmately aimed at our expense. There have been many people who left/escaped China to get away from the CCP (after making bank, yet still live in fear) that have spoken to these things over the years, and heck the Chinese state backed Media literally say some of this stuff in their puff pieces for all to see.

              End result, now they are making truly amazing stuff. Including cars. Im still skeptical on the current longevity of certain things but im sure it'll only improve, and if anything the quality from traditional competitors has argueably worsened as they try to compete. China have done the same thing across many industries over the past 20 years. The end result is you capture huge market share if not dominant position, and more importantly, weaken competitors to the point there are fewer, therefor creating more room to expand upmarket, and increase dependency in your favour to exploit geopolitically. The latter being a crucial objective. None of this is speculation, its the world we already live in and the CCP have shown their hand many times. If you cant debt trap a country (which they have done over and over), there are other ways to achieve similar results. Not something i expect the individual consumer to care about but the whole notion of China bashing is so wildly naive their demonstrable actions.

            They’re not doing it because they care about consumers or have cracked some secret code to manufacture cars cheaper.

            Well they have actually. The code is stealing IP, cheaper materials, lower QA, and cheaper labour through suppressing your people.

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

        I don't think that's the case. It's more to do with the fact that the Jap/Kor OEM have shifted away from the below $30,000 price bracket and seen themselves lose volume.

        The Chinese have simply come in and starting selling into that space which has been vacated. Sub $30k is where the volume game is, and the legacy OEM just got too greedy.

            at one point you will have to move them on, most Aussies replace them in 5-7 years. Most cars can survive 5-7 years, even JLR products like Land Rover and Jaguar.

            And beyond that, i think the use case for a used Chinese car is just like any uber luxurious European car, a (profanity) gamble and time bomb. But unlike euros, they could potentially be cheap and easy to replace the parts for these Chinese cars (assuming the brand's here to stay). time will tell.

          What can they do even if they see it coming. They have invested decades and billions in ICE technology. They have progressed so much that European made diesels had the same fuel consumption and more power than hybrids - 10 years ago.

          They couldn't just throw that away and start again, cancelling all further development in ICE and hoping their EV investment would pay off in a decade. They have debts, wages and shareholder dividends to pay. These are the limitations of capitalism.

          Euro emissions regulation made it worse, all investment went into minuscule reductions in CO2 output at the expense of power and reliability. They literally were not allowed to continue selling their old model cars and invest in EV research instead, they had to cut CO2 emissions quickly or lose their entire EU business

      Like 20 new car brands coming to Oz next year. Ev and petrol cars. Market getting flooded. Cheaper to make good quality cars. Good for competition and consumers. Also means second hand market is going to get smashed too

    If you do all the logbook services with Honda during the warranty period, you'll get 3 additional years of factory warranty. I believe this applies to new car purchases as well.

    Really good car, shame about the fixed pricing. Most other brands usually have some wiggle room on price and some have a lot, so Honda often ends up being the last choice for me.

      Thank you for raising awareness around this. Older cars with existing 7 year warranty get additional 1 year on top including roadside assist. Warranty was about to expire so hoping I'll be able to eke out more kms before transitioning to EV. Honda warranty support has been superb, my CRV has been super reliable car @180km since new.

        Bear with me - if in Jan 2023 the civic type r was all sold out until mid 2024, then how come 2023 model year vehicles are still for sale?

          they overestimated their demand probably.

          My friend was shopping a few months back and they had more than 5 FL5 Type R available for immediate delivery.

          the high interest rates probably pushed people to cancel their order.

        • 1st-Amendment on 03/01/2025 - 15:42

      When Honda bought out our local dealer, to have dealer servicing suddenly was a drive across town. As a result last Honda purchased will be replaced with an alternative, that has closer dealer servicing.

      • kml22 on 02/01/2025 - 18:36

        Their sales are in decline, and their numbers are dropping off the cliff. Do you know why they're merging? Both of these companies are struggling hard.
        Honda and Nissan have been sitting on their butt in the last 10yrs, nothing has changed, same old piss weak engine, out of date tech.

    As a former CR-V VTI LX owner, I found the 1.5L turbo engine to be a great little performer and the car itself spacious—perfect for a family. However, after just three years of ownership, I sold it and transitioned to an EV, which has been a game-changer.

    One area where Honda lags significantly is in vehicle software. The screen UI, maps, and overall user experience are outdated and, frankly, frustrating. The map system, in particular, was shockingly poor, and some of the features seemed almost nonsensical.

    That said, I was generally happy with the CR-V, but my EV experience has been a major upgrade in every aspect.

    When Honda revamped its dealership model here in Australia, I predicted it would struggle to survive. While it has managed to stay afloat, I believe the brand will face increasing challenges, especially with the influx of high-quality Chinese vehicles. I visited China late last year, and the local EVs there were on another level. The build quality, UI, and overall experience were absolutely impressive—far ahead of what we’re seeing from Honda or other legacy brand.

    It’s great to see Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi partnering, but they’ll need to step up their game to remain competitive in this evolving market. I doubt that'll happen though…

    • kml22 on 02/01/2025 - 18:40

      I hope they make a comeback, but I don't see that happening, these companies will go bankrupt in 5yrs, and the government will bail them out.

      • SeanConnery on 02/01/2025 - 20:41

        So are they going out of business or staying in business because of government bail outs? Make up your mind man.

      • BuddhaBoy on 04/01/2025 - 17:56

        I have always loved Honda as a brand but owing one and dealing with the dealership was a huge put off! I Still hope they make it through these tough times and come out with some good products.

      Since when did driving a car centered around UI? You drive a car and focus on the road not on the screen. No wonder a lot of accidents happen because of too much focus on ‘UI’…The road you drive on is real.. you are not on a playstation/xbox game..

      • BuddhaBoy on 04/01/2025 - 17:50

        I get what you are saying - car is to drive only - one place to another. But this whole car driving thing has evolved and consumers want to experience new features, easy to use UI to navigate maps and other options, nice upholstery, ambient lights, safety features that works.

        A good example of the safety feature which I forgot to mention in my original comment. With Honda VTi LX model you get a full suite of safety features such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane lock, auto break etc. I would say most were gimmicky or not refined expect the general cruise control which worked well.

      • BuddhaBoy on 04/01/2025 - 17:55

        Model Y. Have owned it for two years and love it. No maintenance costs. For almost two years I charged using the normal wall plug and very recently updated to a 32 amp plug.
        I would recommend test driving EV's. There are good options out there (Tesla, BYD, Hyundai etc). You will not go back!

    I remember paying $40k drive-away for a CR-V Sport back in 2003. This has far more equipment, the only thing my Sport had over this was a sunroof and part-time 4WD.

    By the way, "reversing camera" is not a "feature", they've been mandated for years now. Might as well list airbags and ABS and "features" too.

    All traditional/legacy car companies will have hard time. Either they have to wind-up or buy one of those innovative chinese companies entirely. 2013-2023 decade was there for them to innovate and change, but none of them learnt and will have to suffer for next decade and go bust or use their one-off "global power card". (or a huge recession in China which may wind down their car industry)
    if Xiaomi can build an entire car within 2 years, i can't believe how much innovation and hard-work Chinese companies can put into and no chance for these legacy car makers and unions.

    • rodericb on 03/01/2025 - 09:33

      The Xiaomi SU7 is from an existing FAW design which was already well developed when Xiaomi jumped onboard. Xiaomi did up-spec a lot of components and made a fair few changes to the FAW car though.

      To be FAIR, if China has a huge recession, all of the legacies will also be dead considering how much profits they get from China.
      VAG is an example, they had a monopoly almost in China and now the rug is being pulled from under them. Heck their China profits were the only thing keeping them afloat.
