BYD has to me become an icon of German decline vs Chinese expansion.

My view.

I was looking at a new car. Went into several car shops, VW, Skoda, Toyota and BYD.

And all of them were basically empty and BYD was FULL! Like really really full.

And the sales guy confirmed it, they are selling cars like crazy.

Which country was this in?
Well.. Germany :)
Wow, it will be interesting to see how this changes things over the next few years
Must be EU somewhere, never seen a Skoda anywhere else.
Plenty in NZ. The police use the wagon. They used to use GM/Holden vehicles but at some point they became the worse choice (reduced headroom in the rear seats amongst other reasons).
they're reasonably popular in Australia. They have done a good job of marketing their station wagons/estates to the road-biking community
The enyaq / elroq is a crazy good car for your money
