This is all interesting, an open discussion about a new phenomena in the UK car market. But ff someone posts about car brand "A", then as part of that discussion someone is bound to say - what about car brand "B" or car brand "C", and so on. That is to be expected. The sales numbers for Jaecoo cars speak for themselves - the market in action - you pay your money, you make your choice. People are not being forced into buying them. I don't think there is any con-job going on, like there was with VW and other diesels with the "cheating" of emissions. But they still look like electric shavers...
I was touched by a Chinese recently. My wife was also touched by the smell that came out of me after I ate it.
