Absolutely no worse than their BMW/Merc/Audi/JLR equivalent. It’s the nature of the segment.He’s replying to a comment I made about the company seemingly toning down their name for the uk/EU market. The company is called ‘build your dreams’, I said I couldn’t spot that in their uk website and it looked like they have gone with BYD for the name instead.
He said don’t look round the back then:

I actually saw one of these at a show this weekend and yes it's a daft name and the car itself is probably a big crap but I really looked the look of the car.It was in a word - funky!
Kind of reminded me of when the new beetle and the pt cruiser was launched, just a bit different to the norm.

But I think that’s all a different matter? Isn’t it the fact build your dreams is just as st as it would be if bmw or audi put live love laugh or something equally naff on the back? Personally I’m surprised someone in the uk or European office didn’t say, let’s just make a different badge for 11p per unit, as that’s a bit naff.
It just feels very Chinese culturally, guessing in China this makes sense, it just seems like something they would cater/alter for European tastes and culture. I can’t imagine MG would do this on the back or go with that as a name.
Maybe this is a bigger intent that the Chinese don’t care what local tastes are, they are going to be cheaper than the competition and probably don’t care.
Although I never liked the power, beauty, soul startup routine on aston martins either. In fact, now I think about it maybe this isn’t that bad or a Chinese thing and everyone has been doing it for years.
What’s the actual car like?!
I don’t know what I think any more, I’m going for a nap.
Checked out the website of my local Mitsubishi dealer who only now service them, no new cars for sale and they now sell Ssangyong and XBUS.
I thought WTF is XBUS?
