Americans Are Open To Cheap Chinese Cars. That’s 'Scary' For The Rest Of The Auto Industry

Whoever sells the EV version of a Toyota Corolla or Camry in the US will get filthy fucking rich.
Right now, I'm guessing it will be Volvo: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/how-volvo-landed-cheap-chinese-ev-us-shores-trade-war-2024-04-24/
VW simply said "no thanks we don't want to print money" by refusing to sell the ID3 in the US or Canada.
The ID.3 is almost exclusively operated using touch-sensitive buttons and surfaces or the intelligent Natural Voice control.
Gross touch buttons!
VW has already announced they’re getting away from touch controls. They weren’t very popular with customers.

VW is also working on an ID.2 (smaller and cheaper) but again won’t sell it in the US.
Yay VW!Dammit VW!
Volvo Chads stay winning. I've owned 30+ years of Volvo cars and hope to make it 50+ with a EX30 sometime within the next few years.
Volvo, please, in our darkest hour, save us with an affordable EV station wagon
*Geely Geometry C
The EX30 is currently manufactured at parent company Geely's facility in Zhangjiakou, China

The clowns at Toyota already make an EV Corolla called the BZ3
