  1.  @fakamada  These are both terrible cars - one is a German car assembled (badly) in Italy and pretending to be Italian, and the other is a Chinese car assembled in China pretending to be British.

  2. It's not a Lambo, it's a fancy Audi with Lambo badges on it. Also, the Lotus is not a Lotus, it's a fancy Geeley with Lotus badges on it. You'd have to be f*ck*ng mad to spend 6 figures on either of these two turkeys.

  3.  @fakamada  The difference with MG is nobody except car enthusiasts remember MG - they were out of production for 20 years, and in most markets, you couldn't even buy one for the last 40 years, and they had been junk for longer than that. Also the Chinese MG's are actually really good value for money. Lotus is a performance icon, now Geeley has bought it so they can use it to sell overpriced & under-developed Chinese junk to western idiots. Pretty clear from how messed up this car was the entire way through the racing that it is based on a Geeley platform and Geeley electronics that aren't suitable for a performance car. Good for them if it works though - a fool and their money as they say.

  4.  @The-Celestial  No, it's not - not for the Eletre R anyway. They might do a bit of suspension tuning, but the platform is the Geeley SEA architecture - it's 100% Chinese designed and manufactured. Geeley try to pretend the architecture was designed in conjunction with their Swedish "subsidiary", Volvo - but that's just more spin - it's 100% Chinese - it just made financial sense to do it that way. Geeley are in the business of buying previously prestigious names and using them to over-charge for Chinese quality vehicles. If you are happy paying European prices for Chinese products, then no problem and all good for you. I mean, lets face it, Chinese stuff is probably better than European stuff at this point - but you can also get Chinese stuff much cheaper if you don't buy it with the fake European badge slapped on it.

  5.  @shrekshaw4790  Oh I totally agree that many Chinese EV manufacturers are way ahead of the rest of the world, & brands like Tesla are really in trouble once Chinese EV's become readily available in the US and Europe. Geeley is not one of them though, their products are generally poorly developed and barely functional - probably less so in the car space than the commercial vehicle space. I think the fact they struggle to make decent products is why they are busy buying up other brands so they can badge-engineer like they have with this Lotus.

  6. It's not a Lotus, it's a Chinese built Geeley with Lotus badges on it. Look it up.

  7. Chinese car pretending to be English vs German car pretending to be Italian... what a sad world we live in.

  8. Replace Lotus with "Geeley" and "Are you sure" with "this feature is half baked and doesn't work properly because this car is cheap Chinese j*nk" and you have it right.

  9.  @matthiasborgdtadt8673  Harry from Harry's garage did a really good review of the Eletre that pointed out all it's failings. Worth checking it out if you have time.

  10.  @HelloFellowDinosaurs  This video wasn't about either of the cars you mention - and I never mentioned either of the cars you mention. Try to make relevant comments.

  11.  @HelloFellowDinosaurs  Oh my g*d! WTF does BMW have to do with anything? I literally never mentioned BMW at all, and neither of these cars have anything to do with BMW! The Uris is an Audi underneath. I suggest you are the one "spouting cr*p", my friend!

  12.  @DjursholmCars  German cars are trash these days.

  13.  @DjursholmCars  A double chocolate thickshake is enjoyable - but still nutritionally trash that does you no good long term.

  15. Should be retitled "Italian junk heap vs Chinese junk heap"
