Roosters and Hyundai Announce Conclusion of Partnership

[Rooster_6]

Their seal is an undeniably nice looking car, drove past one yesterday in Habberfield.

[Rooster_6]

I wouldn’t know. I know nothing about cars. Never been a fan of having to charge one either.

Charging one > paying $2 per litre for a resource that's becoming ever increasingly harder and more costly to extract from the earth.

Stop supporting the Chinese.

They are NOT our friends.

The engine/motor is only one component of a car.

Poor quality, poor safety poor resale. There is so much more to it.

I just checked. The one I mentioned had top ANCAP rating.

Are the German cars great quality and resale? My brother's $70k BMW needed a $20k engine rebuild just out of warranty and was sold for under $30k at five-year old. My cousin's AMG C63 destroyed its engine valves just out of warranty. Imagine the repair bill on that one. I know multiple people who have destroyed DSG gearboxes on VW or Audi.

IMO the risk of needing to replace cheap parts on a Chinese car being overstated. Much less financial risk than driving a German car out of warranty. Each to their own.

Having said that, all EVs are a financial risk at the moment due to battery concerns and resale value.

Who said anything about German cars? I wouldn’t own one.

Jap all the way for me.

Who’s needing to pay for parts on their BYD yet anyway? The buckets of puss are still covered by ncw considering they were only dumped on us in 2022.

oh, and wouldn’t trust modern ANCAP ratings either. Especially when it comes to Chinese cars.

Uncle Nick is my friend, do you think he'll get us a discount deal as part of our membership benefits?

No. No I don’t.

I wish you the very best with your Chinese spy machine.

I thought you owned a Jeep?

Byundai!

What do you think they will do with my travel data that I’ve been to the TAB this morning, then to my local butcher and off to Homemaker in Alexandria later this afternoon? Might pick up a pizza on the way home tonight too.

Totally Awesome. Imagine advertising a car that catches on fire more often that Trobbo at a BBQ.

Now I'll be totally convinced of the SAFETY & reliability of this car brand if Sandon Smith can drive one of these babies out of a driveway without running over someone's foot.

Best still, If Ezra Mamkey can safely drive one of these vehicles without incident whilst unlicensed and after sniffing Brandon Smiths favourite powder then I'm all in...get me one of these $165 jerseys which I'll probably wear twice with pride..

Nope. I was driving one for a few weeks. Loved it but it was still a bucket of puss.

When you start seeing betting ads on what pizza you had before buying bedsheets, you should be worried.

Australian Governments at the federal, state and territory level will eventually ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles - it's a case of not if but when

ACT will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2035 - if not earlier. Of course people will still be able to drive their existing petrol and diesel vehicles after 2035 and or sell them

A number of vehicle manufacturers will cease production of petrol and diesel vehicles for the European markets before 2035 - i.e Alfa Romeo (2027), Volvo (2030), plus Volkswagen and Audi (2033)

Maybe they will bring in a buy back scheme like the gun one for petrol and diesel vehicles to hasten the transition to EV's?

The issue going forward with EV''s is having sufficient numbers of EV trained technicians/mechanics and into the future

Yep. That suits the EV buyer.
