I remember seeing BYD in China back in the early 2000s with a logo that looks very similar to BMW's logo. I guess they have to start somewhere by copying somebody. There were also a lot of cars that had fake badges (added by the owner, not the manufacturer) in China, there was a strong desire for the western brands, of course, that's why Buicks and Audis were so popular in China. I guess I would stay away from that brand until it has proven itself somewhere else from China. Don't trust any stats published out of China.

Are they just more popular, or do they sell more cars?

I hate language like "the economy is mourning" or stuff like the headline.

Hiw the fuck is Tesla the most popular when their cars are straight up trash?
