It's not just about affordability, it's about value for money. There's just no way most people are going to pay Porsche EV money for an MG, especially as longevity isn't known. The rest of the MG range are starting to rust up underneath quite a lot as they get beyond 4 or so years old, this absolutely isn't acceptable when you get to the Cyberster price range, even at UK pricing! Time will tell if it's better, but the likes of Porches don't rust for decades when the bodywork is at least minimally looked after.
It's not greed, it's terror, that the EU car industry will go the way of British Leyland if the Chinese get a significant foothold. We've almost nothing left to lose anymore over here, just a couple of Japanese satellite plants!To expensive. And out of the price range of people, who otherwise might, have got one. All because of the greedy, bastards in the EU.
Exactly right. You only have to look at the state of Germany right now and VW, it’s very very serious for them, but also Porsche, BMW, Audi. They will be eliminated from the Chinese market completely. MG is doing great, new and refreshed models on the way including rumoured semi solid state battery tech. Other brands like BYD & Zeekr will finish off the legacy car industry. They reacted too late, even if you invested 200BN now and built out the supply chain, they are toast. Models such as the great looking Renault 5 EV and sub 30K models will do ok, but Chinese imports will still be cheaper / better with high tariffs.
Also SAIC have their own ships. No middle men.
Is that a question or a statement? Interesting if true.
I thought they were looking at Turkiye
Do the EU Tariffs apply to the UK then?Too expensive. And out of the price range of people, who otherwise might, have got one. All because of the greedy, bastards in the EU.
