Chinese cars now on par with the best western and Japanese cars

It's pretty amazing how far the Chinese have come. From dirt poor in the 1980s to super power today.

Stupid thread, and China didn't consider as superpower but developing country @undertakerwwefan

Chinese cars are still crap still lol and this comes from a guy who likes China

Geely is the kind of company that is meant to succeed. They have a leader who's both visionary and pragmatic, makes me think of Xi Jinping.

China once coppied BMW but failed miserably in crash test while Indian less than 2000 USD car Nano passed it easily. Now Tata Naxon has 5 star safety rating. Most ofIndian cars have 4 star safety rating now.

Can you provide a link to your claims? If what you say is true then remember to post the link here.

Not yet.

But Wuling is quite good, and much better compare with Japanese car on the same price level.

True, that's why the american pdf users and their lapdogs here plus some random german user always spew crap and throw tantrums at any thread about Chinese car brands. They are very nervous, they are having flashbacks of how Chinese smartphones and appliances companies rose quickly and dominated in their own respective industries.

Chinese cars need time to occupy the world market like Chinese phones, but China now focuses and invests heavily on electric and driverless cars and car batteries cause China believe that's the future, conventional car producers could be all dead like Nokia and Ericsson if they don't adjust well.

Well, objectively speaking Chinese cars (with some exceptions like the BYD electrics for example) are not as good as european or Japanese cars. Which really is one of the main reason many Chinese people themselves prefer foreign cars.

Chinese car makers though have come a long way. And they are also moving forward pretty fast. The delta in quality between a chinese entry level sedan produced 10 years ago and one produced now is enormous! And also indicative of the future.

Actually it's no longer true, with fast growing wealth, increasing number of Chinese now choose Chinese cars.
Geely has now overtaken all Japanese and Korean car brands operating in China

As for the development of next generation cars, when China does anything, she always has an eye for the future.

Indian Markets are always a good test for Chinese Products . Chinese Phones are ahead of western and South Korean ones . I say so as Indian consumers choose it over competitors . Let's see how Chinese cars fare. They will face a lot of competition both from local and global brands.

Sorry Objectively speaking, your info is not correct.

Chinese people themselves prefer Chinese Brand Cars.
Let's look at the latest data (December 2018) Passenger Vehicle sales by brand origin in China.

More than 41-42% Chinese people choose and buy Chinese Brand Cars, meanwhile only 17-19% buy japs cars, and 18-20% buy germany cars. American car is much lower than the others only get 10% this year.
Other european brand cars, like french and others is a big Loser in China's market. Only get a mere 1%.

Nope. Not even close.
Most Chinese cars are rough and ready. Our car industries have made great progression but not enough.
