There is also an infinity based on the gla. Truly it is entering a super crowded market.
I dunno I don't see vulva anywhere in the same market as the Germans. It is in the same market as Acura and Buick
I think Volvo's design game is on point, doe.

I have an offer to go sell Vulvos. :notsure:
Vulva :dillerman: ? Intriguing...

I think in 5 years Volvo will be killing it.

Right now... not so much.
In 5 years we'll all be renting Chinese pods!

Recent product line looks killer. It's going to take a bit to get people into the seats.

Good thing Volvo is a Chinese company then. That is dedicated to EVs and automation.

In this pic, this can can be mistaken to a lesser premium brand, like kia's or possible Renaults, imo.

But other than that, looks good, love the interior.
I see a bit of Nissan Rogue in this pic.

They're accelerating at a very rapid rate. All the "it's made in China so it's garbage" arguments simply don't exist anymore. They passed through industrial revolution phase :mindblown: fast and are in the technological phase, and honestly surpassing what we have.

Well the clothing made in china are pretty much the worst material wise, and I'm guilty of wearing them as well :millenial: But I do know scandavanian countries, Denmark and Switzerland don't sell anything made in China.

China doesn't even make much apparel anymore, they have moved far too upmarket for it. It is about Bangladesh or Nam when it comes to that.

China makes the most cars in the world/planes/high speed trains/dams etc.

Yeah
it is more depending on the company themselves as opposed to the country of origin.

In Philly it's taken 6 years to perform an engineering study on how to extend the Broad St subway line 2 stops into the area called the "Navy Yard" which is a booming commercial area with tons of development.

It would never take 6 years to do that in China. The damn thing would be built and operational in less time.

Our government slows us down where theirs mandates things are done and poof! it's done. At some point you need to ignore some of the general public's opinions and make the right choices for your city. We can't seem to do that in this country anymore.

More like they just don't give a fuck. If they want it they make it. Look up 3 Gorges Dam and read about how they flooded out so many towns, temples, historical sites, etc. NFG because it'll benefit China and the power is needed. Build it. Fuck the plebes.

Here we have all sorts of people whining about how they don't want the .gov to spend money on that project, the project has to employ union labor, a certain amount of LGBTQ workers, save the turtles, blah blah blah so it'll never get fucking built.
