Reuters recent interview with Elon Musk, he said: "Chinese cars will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world without trade barriers", then he said "Chinese cars are extremely good" The western companies can't not compete with Chinese companies. So they will implement trade barriers.

14 grand is a steal for a car like that. I hope that GM is going to consider bringing something similar to the states at some point. They really need to be the first to bring something shockingly cheap to the market and since they are already doing it in China, it should be easy for them to do. Sell it as the new Chevrolet Spark PHEV in the U.S. for $19,999. People don’t have high expectations for a Spark anyway.

Yeah, even upgrade to US spec. For say whatever the structure and feature. It shall leave planty of margin for GM with price tag of 19990.

@@user-jh6vt8vx4v I think the issue is even though GM and SAIC are both joint venture partners, SAIC-GM (the main JV company) builds stuff mostly designed by GM and on GM platforms, such as their Ultium EV platform, but SAIC-GM-Wuling is making cars on platforms which are presumably done by SAIC, not GM, so it will be very difficult for GM to build these cars in any of their other factories for instance here in the US. The design, platform, and required supply chain are just not going to work anywhere other than China. I suppose they could build it in China, slap a Chevy badge on it, and export it, but not to the US with its high tariffs specifically targeting cars built in China. Bit of a shame too, since the Baojun Cloud is essentially a next gen Chevy Bolt, and would do very well in the US market, along with this Wuling Starlight.

@@PonyRx even still, 25% still only puts it at 25 grand. Still cheaper than any other plug in hybrid on the market now. They don’t have to build assemble it in China either. The car has been developed, they have manufacturing facilities in Canada and China that they could use to assemble a cheap car to avoid a tariff if GM really wanted to. But they don’t want to because then they couldn’t keep up the charade that the best they can do is make a Chevy Trax as their cheapest car when they could actually be selling plug in hybrids.

The US Chinese trade war will keep Chinese GM cars like that out of the rest of the world.While China tries to open factories in Other countries around the globe with GM under its SAIC CCP joint venture. Best would be to expect Buick or hope for it to be badge engineered with Buick from a Neighbouring country. As GM fails losing Money depending on China with Buick Biden & Trump will keep all Non American Chinese branded badged cars & Chinese built engineered cars out of the US pushing keeping them in Mexico etc…

If exported, this will destroy many car vendors.

You can help me buy and export a chinese vehicle, but can it be right hand drive like in Australia?

I would kill for some of these Chinese cars! Defo want a Lynk and Co 03, but NZ is such a small market that nothing filters through unless it goes through Aus first, and they are too obsessed with Utes and pickup trucks to bother with sedans...

That musical score didn’t make much sense to me, but it was funny for sure!

Western brands whether it is ICE or EV is no longer affordable to the vast majority of middle class consumers. The rule of thumb in financial consultation is that you should be able to pay for a new car with just 3 months of your annual salary and if it is longer you are living beyond your means ! Financing a new vehicle in North America has risen from 3-5 years to now 5-7 years which is totally ridiculous. Automotive manufacturers are now building cars that no one can afford and only Chinese cars can put an end to all this madness !

Countries that allow imports of Chinese cars are basically outsourcing labor, pollution and innovation. At some point, they will regret that decision. Chinese pollution does not stay in China.
