Twin hammerblow:
1. Falling oil prices in 2014 + Crimean crisis. Russia never fully recovered.
2. Then came sanctions in 2022.

The reality is, a Zhiguli is superior to everything.
Look at this beast. Runs off Communist hopes and recycled fumes.
big hopes ahead for BYD Rubik's cube ESS. I still think it looks ugly compared to Tesla Megapack, but it should be a lot cheaper and power plants/grid operators/solar farms shouldn't care about looks. It just needs to ramp up production imo.
oh look at this
BYD F brand's first model SF
will it be unveiled this month?
official launching is Chengdu auto show at end of August IIRC

BYD's U8 brand with Disus-P suspension is awesome. Very sophisticated & expensive system
I like this one
export destination by brand and destination. Russia is #1 with 76k thru 4 months. Mexico and UK are next. A lot from SAIC. Probably a combination MG and VW JV productions

Not sure if this has been posted.
VW has been the top-selling group for 30 years. BYD has passed them in sales so far this year. I interpret this quote as VW essentially "throwing in the towel". They will accept fewer sales, try to keep margins high and seem resigned to the fact that they won't get back to the top any time soon.
I guess this is better than Ford's retreat from most of the market, but given how poorly VW-SAIC JVs are doing with factories standing at low capacity, it's inevitable.

VW should focus its research efforts on developing cars powered by cope. Cope is a resource they have an infinitude of.
You probably drove a made-in-America Tesla. I heard Teslas from Shanghai Giga have far better quality. Also as far as EVs go Tesla are still considered amongst the best of the bunch with no significant downsides (aside from unintended acceleration and control issues). On top of that Tesla is priced fairly competitively, especially compared to other foreign brands. And then you have the 思想钢印 of affinity for foreign brands which certain segments of Chinese population has together with Tesla's first mover advantage.
India is poise to dominate that sector followed by the US so yes a WIN WIN for them both.
I'm so thankful that GWM translated 初恋 into Jolion and 大狗 into Dargo for export. Otherwise I can't imagine 初恋 would be popular in the used car market with a name like that. And yes, cars are ridiculously expensive in Russia; for example a Chery Exeed VX (星途揽月) starts at
EDIT: The car in question. I obtained the prices from their respective official sites to verify
