I remember back in the 70's most everyone had "their brand" of automobile that they were loyal to. My Dad was a Mopar guy and didn't have a good opinion of Fords, he didn't mind Chevy's though. With the Honda plant being in Marysville, Ohio, Honda was my brand of choice when I was younger.

Xiaomi is slaying it from a tech perspective. I've seen reviews of one of their sports cars and SUVs and they punch way above their weight. The brand would absolutely decimate the US EV market if they were allowed to be sold here. A big part of that value-for-money is the fact the Chinese government subsidizes them allowing for a much lower retail price than otherwise would be possible. I see them really taking off in Canada now that they'e opened their market up to Chinese EVs.
