seems like Chinese car makers are starting to take over countries all around the world
first time seeing Omoda C5 in electric variant, as we don't have them in here
do you know anything about what people in UK are thinking about Chinese cars, and are they in demand?

I completely agree. I feel like recently these manufacturers have been coming over in floods and they keep catching me off guard as I will see one of their cars before I even knew about them coming to the UK. I hadn't really realised that Omoda was coming to the UK and then when I last came to this area which has 4 dealerships (usually come to VW to find the new number plates 2x a year), this garage which was previously Chapelhouse KIA was being turned into an Omoda & Jaecoo dealer.
That was the KIA garage I usually take my car to for work or servicing. Thankfully it has moved and has ended up being closer to my house. Anyway, I'm not really too sure on how the public are taking to this Omoda because surely people aren't necessarily going to buy from a brand new brand that they haven't heard of. I have seen quite a few Omoda's driving around over the last few months but have only seen about two of those Ora Funky Cat things, they have completely failed. MG does quite well in the UK but I think that is because the public had already heard of them when they came back as a Chinese-owned manufacturer and they didn't really leave as the TF stayed in production until the new MG6 arrived in 2010/11. Plus Chinese MG have now been selling here for over 10 years and have built up a brand recognition which the new ones won't have. I suppose we will just have to see?

thank you for the answer
yeah, I guess that people form Europe and other countries are not going to be very impressed about new Chinese cars, if they haven't been around for some time, as you said an example with MG, but we know that it was previously UK brand
just by looking at photos form other galleries i've seen only Omoda's and Tank's(or some form of Chery as a rebrandings), and somewhere they seem to be very common
i've thought about all of that because in our country Chinese car makers have completly overtaken new car market, and it started not that long ago before certain events happend, i think that it was in like 2020-2021, and people were buying them just because these cars could offer a little bit more than a usual locally bulit, but European cars
and now, while other car brands left - there is a tons of Chinese ones, and sometimes when you see something new, that you haven't heard of, you already know that it is a Chinese car, because new dealerships are growing up so fast, taht you can't even remember them all, so, there is kinda the same situation here
