Their styling stands out, also there are things inherent to being from China i find more fascinating, especially not being the primary market to these vehicles, similar to 1980’s JDM vehicles have features inherent for it’s primary markets over our domestic products
On top of that, the Chinese manufacturers seem willing to add more creature comforts or (admittedly) useless features. It’s cheaper and made to a vision outside what my domestic market provides, and way more enticing than any EV i could think of now.
Probably the best part is cutting out dealers because they’ve put the domestic industry in a terrible position overcharging for every available make and model for sale, thinking that the market can hold the high prices they demand because they still think people still have spare cash from covid. Now their overstock inventory hasnt moved for some up to a half a year, and they’re trying to cut prices down because their stock is bought via financing, which I’ve recently learned “punishes” dealers if stock doesnt move after 3 months by shooting up the interest rates, lighting a fire under their ass.
This is a problem of their own making, and having a new competitor helps shake up these markets
Now if Peru entered the automotive market with something it would be interesting for other reasons, I know Peru doesnt have the industry to make EVs and i dont find it fruitful to think in these kinds of hypotheticals. Their needs would produce a different kind of vehicle entirely
no, i specifically want the Chinese stuff.
it’s intriguing to me
Why? If the identical product was made in Peru, would you still want it from China? It’s a car not a tank.

So nothing specific just because China. Got it.
Shit’s way cheaper. And I am curious about their cars, nothing wrong with that.
So you want a cheap EV, and you don’t really care where it’s from. Additionally, you are curious about their cars.
(There is nothing wrong with being curious about their cars)
