      Though initial reviews are promising, for anyone looking towards purchasing this vehicle I would suggest waiting until:

      • ANCAP has been completed and results available

      • pending above, see if there are further refreshes to this model to address any ANCAP concerns (which may also push prices up in addition to the post-launch price increase)

      The Right Car? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rK8TOJYtAc

      Alternatively, consider the usual used car prices of models above as there are so many unknowns at this point in time.

          Good old survivorship bias.

          If you want to buy a shitty car that is less safe, you need ANCAP to tell you which cars are shitty (and for the market to make them cheap because no one wants to buy unsafe cars).

          And year differences are clear. No one thinks a 10 year old 5* is safer than a new 3 or 4*.

            +2

            @loksmack: That's the problem, you see, a car that does not get 5* is perceived as "unsafe" even though it meets all ADR requirements to be sold in the country.

            A 3* with all the gizmos and airbags and what not, which may be shitty for 2025, but is still much safer that compared to the 50% of cars that are 10 years or older currently on the roads.

            But anyway, why a global set of goals should be better than a standalone ANCAP

          ANCAP is irrelevant body

          I'd agree. Is there any data that suggests that anything they've done in the past 5-10 years has been beneficial.

          this government body would have been disbanded

          ANCAP isn't a government body and is non-regulatory. If the car manufacturers were smart they'd refuse to submit their vehicles for testing.

        My parter went to a closer job and owed an escooter to get to her work back when we lived on the Gold Coast, i saw how great they were and got one as well.

        We ended up selling the car and didn't need one for many years, i thought we'd rent one for occasional use but never needed it (car share, escoot, pushie, bus, tram and train) We rented the 2x car spaces out and that more then covered body corporate fees. We sold our apartment and moved after Covid, GC went back to being the GC . Now in Tassie, alad need a car again as we drive about 5000km a year and it is still the 1980s down here transport wise..

        this is a lie. Toyota in terms of technical and technological improvements have been at a stand still for the past 5 years. Every other brand manufacturer has practically caught up or if not, have surpassed them. People buy Toyotas now due to the reliability but mainly due to the resale price as others upgrade elsewhere. I'd give it another 5 years until other brands currently out in the markets resale prices match before they slowly take over the Toyota market (which is already being done).

          Because times have changed. China is now world's largest car market and Ford's CEO Jim Farley famously drove a Xiaomi SU7 and didn't want to give it up. In fact he just did another interview recently on the existential threat the Chinese brands present to legacy autos.

              so what are they worried about?

              The world is a lot bigger than the US. Global companies like Ford wants to partner with the Chinese auto makers and increase their profit margin. In reality they've already got decades of partnership experiences with Chinese OEMs. Increasing profit is the main thing CEOs care about.

              @tonyjzx: Hahaha the funny thing is Merc/Audi/BMW are now apparently struggling in the Chinese market with their market share being eroded by brands like Li Auto/Aito etc. Even Porsche is tanking over there so the struggle is real.

              In terms of competition the American brands would still need to compete with the Chinese brands for the rest of the globe. And with Trump in power who knows when he'll send a social post and remove the tariffs altogether?

              It's also not like only the American execs are concerned. The last Stellantis CEO has asked for protectionist measures quite a few times and they're now also partnering up with Leapmotor. And then you have Toyota licencing BYD's BEV/PHEV tech, Honda working with Huawei/Momenta, Mazda with their Changan partnership on their EVs, VW's partnership with Xpeng, you get the point.

              • Beezum on 04/07/2025 - 07:28

                @MkVIGTI: Practically every car manufacturer is struggling against the chinese market. Toyota, Volkswagen have seen their sales plumet. Its quite simple, if you ask a 20-35 year old what car theyd buy for $60,000 in todays market, the answer is going to be a Tesla or a BYD. Nothing else. Now thing of brands like Xiaomi which is producing cars also but havent hit the Australian market… thats when the bloodbath begins for brands other than Tesla, BYD and Xiaomi. Japanese brands making the late EV switch over practically destroyed themselves and we'll see the extensive damage 5 years from now. European brands made the switch early so I'd say theyre still a risk but not as much as Xiaomi.

        I can confirm that Chinese people with money tend to not buy a Chinese brand of car. They stick with Japanese or German depending on their budget. Most of the cars sold in China are made there anyway, even Toyota and Mercedes. The Chinese characters on the back tell you which joint-venture factory it was made in.

            @SetTheFaqUp: I have a question for you. Uber driving is open to everyone with a license. Why do you think only Asians do Uber and Didi? Because they are hard working and know how to make some quick buck out of their free time or while they are in between jobs. While the lazy a*ses who think driving Uber is below them and would rather pay 30% markup on menu prices and order delivery from a restaurant 5 mins drive away and make fun of the very person delivering your food while taking dole money saying they can't find a job.

              @rvsure: Does Uber pay better than the dole?

                @smartazz104: I have no idea as I have never done Uber but definitely there is respect in earning your own money even if it's peanuts than taking dole.
