a lot of these luxury brands have been eating off china the past few years
but now they've lost their luster since china makes cars better than most luxury brands and china has a moat in EVs
so what's left is either the US or emerging markets
> china makes cars better than most luxury brands
More like China makes cheaper cars which is enough for most people.
Believe it or not, people aren't buying Audis in China because they're thrifty.
China was a huge market for Audi in the past as luxury status symbol. However, now Chinese buyers are so enamored with new tech-heavy Chinese luxury cars that Audi had to go make a whole sub-brand specific to the Chinese market just to stay in the game[1].

Google "Zeekr 9X" and then come back here if you still feel this way.
That is ugly AF and there is no way I'd buy that over a Porsche.
Zeekr 001 is prettier outside but inside still is terrible. https://www.datocms-assets.com/143770/1728613060-rectangle-4...

Watching my very, very MAGA 'friends' purchasing byd's is hilarious. I've also, of late, noticed fewer and fewer Teslas around.
You have MAGA friends outside the United States?
