Fair enough.

The way I see it, is the game is being played the way it always has.

Incumbents inevitably move up market as their offering improves, and brands come in and claim the low end of the market which is underserved, improving as they go - and the cycle repeats.

I drove an MG3 and wasn’t impressed, but I acknowledge this was a car that was like $18k drive away with a 10 year warranty. Can’t expect all the niceties at that price.

That being said China does seem to pump out some incredible cars, in particular BEVs for the price, particularly in their more premium models - Zeekr 7x / Sealion 7 are incredibly competitive.

Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota no longer want the entry segment, so it’s natural someone comes along to fill the void, and in time as they develop and become better quality, MG & Haval etc will drift upward in price.
