a lot of these luxury brands have been eating off china the past few years
but now they've lost their luster since china makes cars better than most luxury brands and china has a moat in EVs
so what's left is either the US or emerging markets
- rr808 9mo ago> china makes cars better than most luxury brands More like China makes cheaper cars which is enough for most people.
- mullingitover 9mo agoBelieve it or not, people aren't buying Audis in China because they're thrifty. China was a huge market for Audi in the past as luxury status symbol. However, now Chinese buyers are so enamored with new tech-heavy Chinese luxury cars that Audi had to go make a whole sub-brand specific to the Chinese market just to stay in the game[1].

- temp8830 9mo agoGoogle "Zeekr 9X" and then come back here if you still feel this way.
- rr808 9mo agoThat is ugly AF and there is no way I'd buy that over a Porsche. Zeekr 001 is prettier outside but inside still is terrible. https://www.datocms-assets.com/143770/1728613060-rectangle-46228986.jpg?auto=format https://www.datocms-assets.com/143770/1728613060-rectangle-4...
- kulahan 9mo agoCalling it ugly is weird. It’s a copy-paste of a rolls Royce phantom, slapped on an SUV frame, with the cheapest possible interior they could design. There are much better ways to insult this garbage product. :)

- slowmotiony 9mo agoCan I also rip the steering wheel right off the car if I use a bit too much force, like in the Omodas? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vY9HegbOd9c https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vY9HegbOd9c
- Ylpertnodi 9mo agoWatching my very, very MAGA 'friends' purchasing byd's is hilarious. I've also, of late, noticed fewer and fewer Teslas around.
- bullfightonmars 9mo agoYou have MAGA friends outside the United States?
- erxam 9mo agoThere are way too many, unfortunately. For example, Venezuelans are 99% MAGA.
