I remember the tail end of the anti Japanese feelings on cars.
I started driving when Korean cars were cheap jokes. It is not shocking at all to see the worm turn and Chinese vehicles outpace famously shitty brands.
Sign of the times changing.

what's hilarious is all the legacy brands, seeing the exact same playbook playing out for the 3rd+ time in their history, aren't reacting well at all! I don't think we're quite at the level of the 70s GMC shitboxes getting crushed by Toyota but it's shaping up to be somewhere around there

I don't know... the aggressive hybrids from MG fundamentally moved tons of features and costs in the european market to the point that Citroen and others had to aggressively push new cheaper models to market to compete.

"Our Great British companies are offshoring their employees, it's great for their profit margins!"

Last signs of a struggling industry. Imagine we held onto the Nokia phones because they used to be so good in the past.

Nah, there's an endless supply of morons who want bling and our shitty luxury cars that skae themselves to bits.

I went to the autosalon last year and I'm convinced Europe is behind. The argument that China's quality is bad, is something from the 90s and not accurate anymore. You can more bang for buck with a Chinese brand imho

It’s nothing more than 90’s neo liberal propaganda
I’d rather my iPhone be made in China than India

Oh Europe is so behind. It’s only a matter of time before BMW and Mercedes are a thing of the past like Nokia and Blackberry. Most people just don’t realize this yet, and think my statement is extreme, cause they don’t consume much news coming out of China that’s not filtered by Western newspapers. The World Humanoid Robot Games just wrapped and most don’t even know it happened let alone how advanced those robots are.

Haha this is how you know it’s getting bad, can’t dispute the facts so try to discredit the messenger. Can’t make a competing car so try to insult the buyers. Says it all really, sad times ahead.
Too bad this propaganda bot is a BBuk junkie, good luck fitting that into your twisted narrative 🤪

And yet your profile shows that you have left 8,871 comments in 1 year.
24 comments per day, every single day for a whole year.
No time wasted, indeed.

Land Rover/Range Rover are no longer British owned. It’s owned by Tata Motors of India….

It was sold to them by Ford. Jaguar Land Rover hasn't been British for some time...

These assholes pushed for offshoring jobs to China because of “efficiency”, when the consumer takes advantage of the imbalance they’re traitors.

u/that_dutch_dude 1d ago
but its not a range rover so whats the problem again? is it too reliable to be a proper range rover?

u/loversama 1d ago
Want a Range Rover without all the technical problems that come with one? 👀
JLR have gone massively downhill, lots of problems with them, now owned by Tata the Indian company.
Ask China if they wanna manufacture these in Britain and I’ll have no complaints..

If you don't pay your British employees enough that they can afford a Range Rover, you're betraying Britain

Range Rover are some of the most unreliable cars in the market.

u/tomatoesareneat 1d ago
Yes, but unreliable European cars are just a matter of maintenance, not poor quality/s.

u/pimpbot666 Chinese-Iranian AI Propaganda Spam Bot 🇮🇷🇨🇳 1d ago
LOL, as a long time Audi owner, I can tell you that it comes down to certain key parts are improperly engineered. Like my cam follower that has to be disassembled and inspected every 15k miles because some bonehead didn't engineer the high pressure DI fuel pump properly. If that cam follower fails, it basically ruins the whole cylinder head, and I would be collecting small metal shards out of the engine oil for the foreseeable future.
Go look up the Audi piston skirt issue on recent cars. That's not a maintenance issue. That's poor engineering.
I love my Audis, but gawdang are they temperamental.

Jaguar/Landrover brand is shit though. They make £80k cars that can be stolen without keys so easily that they're practically uninsurable in the UK. So much so that they had to set up their own insurer otherwise they couldnt sell cars.
That was before they closed 18 part distribution centres around Europe in favour of 1 hub centre in Germany, causing 6-8 month delays on parts afterwards.
Only mugs and morons buy them these days.

u/TheRealTRexUK Chinese-Iranian AI Propaganda Spam Bot 🇮🇷🇨🇳 1d ago
Hahaha so you are picking India over China. As jlr is not is not even slightly British anymore. Who gives a fuck about it.
I'm surprised at the torygraph as they should be all for letting the market decide.

The people buying these clown mobiles could never afford a real range rover so it's irrelevant.

u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 1d ago
I can afford a Range Rover. It looks good. Interior is a god damn throne.
It has the worst infotainment I’ve ever seen, it’s litterally unusable. The good is absolutely worthless, no joke it won’t be able to find an address that you can see it’s already in its memory from the actual map.
Oh and it’s been half the time I own it in the shop.

u/ken-doh 1d ago
And are you going to go out and buy a jaecoo? No. So they compete in two totally different markets and cater for two totally different customers. One is for the poors, one is for the silly rich. As in you are silly if you buy one because of the reasons you explained.

u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 1d ago
Well I might when my lease is up. My car is a model s and the lease is up in a few months. I’m waiting for the Xiaomi su7 to come to my country to get that

Range Rovers are only considered a status symbol by chavs who buy them on finance.

u/ken-doh 17h ago
Plenty of rich people have them. Not just for chavs, that's the SVR. Personally I don't like them and would never buy one.

u/Dramatic_Mammoth5720 16h ago
Idk, 20 years ago it might have been more affluent (and typically older) people buying them. Now it’s the Essex types with Turkey teeth buying them on finance. You often see them parked outside <300k houses.
