Should be renamed to China Auto Show ...

China International Auto Show.

I wonder how long these brands will last in the Philippines...

i haven't yet considered chinacars.
the occasional fly in the ointment that gets a lot of attention in the electronic media, and all that.
whether these flies are the truly rare event, or they are the de-rigor, i do not know.
so far kasi, the only good thing going for them are their price.

If you will be buying a chinese brand vehicle which brand will you choose? Isn't it that some chinese brand have a tie-up with European cars? I'm not that familiar

don't forget these cars are packed with unnecessary specs too... and some people have a real hard-on for that kinda stuff...

i do not know yet, what brands are worthy.

chinese companies may have bought certain well-known european brands,
but i do not know what else they purchased, i.e., did they also buy the quality control, the R&D, etc etc?

For instance I did watch a vlog from Geely Okavangco and the vlogger states that the suspension is good and the Geely representative says that the suspension came from a certain Lotus? because Geely tie-up with Lotus so it could be similar with other chinese car brand

there's an ancient tongue-in-cheek joke,
"if it don't leak oil, it's not an english car".

i-consider ko iyong simple na Dongfeng Nanobox, since same factory ng Dacia Sping na madaming benta sa Europe.

Iyon ay kung may proper parts support sa casa. Maintenance parts may stock kahit nasa main PH warehouse. Ibang parts may part number, price, qty. stock, at order info kahit nasa China na plant. Tapos may order system na tied sa delivery partner na weeks ang bilang hindi months.

i think that's one reason why folks might be wary of taking a dip into the china cars pool.
the aftersales support. parts as well as knowledgeable mekanikos.

i mean,
what with the relatively cheaper price of china cars, i wouldn't mind owning one, if it were fairly reliable naman, and had reliable parts supply and knowledgeable mechanics to service them.
