Chinese Cars are the future. Shoot, they are the NOW!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry_in_China

“Since 2009, annual production of automobiles in China exceeds that of the European Union or that of the United States and Japan combined.”

Trade Wars and Protectionism are but a few reasons why the US cannot buy quality cars are half the cost. But maybe things will change.

All of them would flunk the emissions and crash tests(esp. the more stringent IIHS test)

I was in touch with the Chinese cars for around 25 years and in is about 15 years since they worth considering. Still subpar but the price is a factor. 15 years ago they were all Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max clones. Rusted out fast and had faulty electrics but they were 6-8k for midsize truck with automatic transmission and a/c. Now they have BMW X6 lookalikes with 250hp engines for 25k. It is still faulty but isn’t BMW too nowadays?
