You’d be wrong. Been traveling in China for a few weeks now and their cars are similar in size to the average north american sedan, including trunk space. SUVs and trucks are rare though.
Thing is the average US car is bigger than a sedan because lots of SUV & trucks. And the models mentioned are a mid size (smaller than a sedan), a micro car, and a mid/small SUV.
All in all Chinese cars are 30% cheaper (which is amazing) the whole 1:5 isn’t relevant.
I never said they weren’t nice (they are very nice indeed).
I said they were smaller than a us car of average price used as a benchmark in the 1:5 ratio. And cost is directly linked to size, bigger means more material, more machining etc. So a better comparison would be to find similar cars. And you’d end up with something closer to 1:2.
The average US car is probably twice as big as the models mentioned, I’d take the 1/5 ratio with a grain of salt.

this assumes that a big car is better, which is the opposite of reality.
Where am I assuming that?
You haven’t been paying attention… These cars are legit nice

US cars are fucking too big anyways.
because the average US ass is twice as big.
