      @@rogersliu1200 agree there are agendas at play here, but car prices cannot be called "reasonable" in any sense of the word. New cars are becoming a real luxury for anyone but the rich elite, meaning that older cars on our roads will become the norm until the government taxes them into oblivion chasing their green agenda. Then we will really see the extinction of the middle class.

      I'm Chinese citizen and Australian permanent resident. I can tell you cars in China are way more cheaper than Asutralia, you can buy a Toyota Camry or a Mazda CX5 in China with 70% money spent in Australia. Chinese people also have a large range of choices to buy highly advanced EVs which don't exit in Australia market.

    The off-road vehicles of the tank brand have been tested for a long time. For many years, these vehicles have almost become the necessities of the plateau roads in Xizang, China, the roof of the world, and are widely used in the northwest desert areas of China. In addition, it has also received increasing popularity in the extremely cold regions of Siberia, Russia.

      The issue I guess is the unknown at this stage of Chinese manufacturing. I did see a very new LDV D90 on the side of the Hume Hwy yesterday with it's bonnet up broken down and have seen other Chinese cars also with issues so probably not there yet. I do about 50k kms a year so am on the road a lot and see well sorts of broken down cars, Chinese being a little over represented from what I see. Also having an issue and breaking down are very different things.

      @scugniz I'll always approach cars with an open mind because I just love cars and whatever propulsion methods. If you took my C63s for a drive you'd laugh at how creaky and rattling interior from a badge pride on "the best or nothing". I've had one of the side radiator burst which left me stranded,misfire issues from spark plugs,clunks from lower control arm,luckily it was under warranty.Stomp the pedal and it's forgiven. My 2012 C63 had problems with head bolts which was repaired but the ongoing problems with cam adjusters and the cam itself eating the lifter buckets won't be solved any time soon. Do I think the Chinese are getting better at making things? Absolutely. I install and commission solar and wind farms battery storage system. We've moved from a German made battery to ones made by BYD and it's years ahead better and most importantly safer.

    Just the ICE engine alone, produces 180 kW and 380 Nm out of a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine is super impressive considering my old 1999 Land Rover Discovery Series II petrol 4.0 litre naturally aspirated V8 musters 136 kW and 340 Nm of torque. And the Rover V8 drank like a sailor (16-22 litres per 100 kms highway-city). Fuel tank Tank 80 litres & D2 93 litres) So I think the Tank 500 is a really nice step forward after nearly a quarter of a century. I paid AUD$55K on-the-road for the D2 back then. So prices have definitely gone up significantly.

    So you connect your 2.5 tonne van behind this thing all excited about the 650 odd NM of torque and then find out it only lasts a couple of minutes then your towing with a 2 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine albeit with a turbo. Wow. That should be a fun experience when you reach the mountains. And "only" 74k. Bargain.
