The cars they won't let us buy in America

It's amazing what a democratic republic of people can accomplish! The corporate fascists (Rothschild bankster puppets) who have taken over America just can't compete. That's why they can't let us buy these awesome cars like in a free-market society:

Efficient cars.

Then again, for a country full of SUV's would 'we' want anything else?

How about a sports car named HiPhi then? That sounds pretty snazzy. The infotainment system even uses the Unreal Engine like the popular PUBG first-person shooter.

Speaking of SUV's, do they sell Toyota Land Cruisers over there?

Sure, Japan is under multinational corporatist/fascist control. They're just upset that China has remained independent and is now teaching us a lesson about "free-market" economics. :embarrassed:

That is one ugly *** ride IMO. And that huge screen is so lame. Can't wait for this trend to end!

Man they got some cools electric cars in China. The Beijing Auto Show is like Disneyland compared to the snooze-fest that was NYC Auto Show. There's a production version of the G-like U8 pictured swimming above and their supercar u9 in this video (towards end):
Makes me wish I lived there instead of this non-free/rigged market society.

Like the Polestar 4, MG droptop, and that cool camper that I can tow with 2024 Maverick Ecoboost 2.0T AWD.

Chevy is putting out garbage In China so glad still have my Alchemy Purple 2015 SS 6-stick. Besides the C8 Corvette GM is becoming irrelevant. Not good for stock holders.

Since these new fangled Chinese EVs have ranges approaching 1000-KM, sub 3-sec 0-62, and laden with LIDAR, I would get rid of those ugly screens altogether and give all occupants VR Goggles and the Driver a Formula 1 type Helmet with holographic built in displays and F1 steering wheel. I wear a high end Aerodynamic Arai for my Ducati so very used to Helmets.

Would hate to live in China prefer Singapore, Japan, or AUS/NZ for fresh air...

Safety and emissions regulations (and import tariffs) have made it prohibitively expensive for some manufacturers to do business in the U.S.

Yeah, everyone is focused on BYD vs Tesla but it's actually Geely that's the greatest threat, they just have so many different brands they kind of fly under the radar. And Jaguar Land Rover will be using Chery's platform for their upcoming high-end EVs, like the last vehicle in this video. Anywhosies, I just can't get over the difference in atmosphere between the two auto shows though. Even the colors of the cars... it's like everything is black, white and grey in the USA these days

After everything China has done to save the planet from global warming Genocide Joe raised import tariffs to 100% on their EVs. I guess he doesn't care about the ice caps melting, sea levels rising and all the polar bears drowning.

Anywhosies, I want to thank the maker of this video for helping me pronounce the name of this one. I wasn't even close.

Sydney EV show is full of Chinese cars! I'm particularly interested in the Chery at 7:45 as that's the company that'll be making Jaguar's 2026 EV. Well, if Chery can stay in business that long anyways. If not, the Jaguar brand may truly be dead. It's probably dead in the USA already with Biden's 100% tariff.

Glad I didn't wait for the Model Y Juniper refresh, which you can now buy in China but not the good ole US of A. Thanks Elon buddy! What would all the temporary (not immigrant) H1B worker slaves do without you? Probably go back to living on a dirt road in India, but anywho:

They aren't selling many now but imagine if the new VW Electric Bus (what they should have called it) actually had to compete against this:


Good thing we're not living in a free-market society any longer! I guess...

Ja, it looks really cool and modern, but I question the long term reliability and all those moving parts are going to wear, break and become expensive fixes in only a few years.

Kyle is in China and reviewed a bunch more if you're really interested. The moving parts might be concerning but the batteries aren't as they actually have working battery swap stations all over China now, so worries about degredation and recycling are already a thing of the past there.

Man, too cool! With BaaS you can even UPGRADE the battery in your vehicle on-the-fly. Pity we're not allowed to own cars like this in the Corporate States of America.

I'm pretty sure I'd be driving a YangWang if I had a choice. Maybe two of them, their floating SUV and hyper car. Chinese tech can be a somewhat intrusive though. All this AI stuff has been great for their stock prices but I'm not sure I want my car to be that smart. I'd rather they respect my privacy... but Android Automotive is just as bad so I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. There's no hope for privacy.

The Drive Zone Online Mod APK is a modified version of the Drive Zone Online mobile racing game, offering features like unlimited money, unlocked cars, and enhanced customization options. It’s popular for its open-world racing, realistic graphics, and modes like Drift, Car Race, and Skill Test. However, it’s not a car banned in America—it’s a digital game, not a physical vehicle.

Regarding cars not sold in the U.S., as mentioned earlier, models like the Toyota Hilux, Suzuki Jimny, and Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) (until recently) are restricted due to emissions, safety regulations, or market decisions. If you meant a specific car related to Drive Zone Online, please clarify, and I can connect it to the game’s car roster or real-world restrictions.
