Unless they can come in at BYD/MG/Cherry's pricing - that's a death knell.

Who wants to pay Volkswagen prices (fyi: VW isn't exactly 'cheap' in Australia) when you could just buy a BYD instead.

'Made in Europe' is really the last thing they've got, that's their entire schtick.

    Me, if they have better build quality than BYD, which is definitely low end of engineering. Door gaps, trim and panel misalignment, razor thin bonnet cutouts.. They're really not built to last imo - and that's why they can be priced so low.
