Should there be a forum or sub-forum for Chinese vehicles? Jaecoo, BYD, GWM, Omoda and so on. We can debate whether MG falls into the bucket...

Reasons to do it:
  • They are already taking market share, and that looks set to only increase.
  • Many brands are owned by a few parent companies, so they have a lot in common. A forum would help discuss common issues (e.g. insurance, parts availability) and indeed discuss the Chinese car industry generally.
Currently, discussion of such vehicles is scattered about. I think there is a thread in GG. Is it time to bring it together?

Also no option currently to add BYD (probably others) to my garage.

Any chance the list can be updated?

Not all Chinese cars are EVs, plus the EV section is going to get very cluttered. Considering how well they are selling, a Chinese section would make sense, there isn't a clear area for discussion.

Thanks Matt. Just to check - a forum or the Garage? (or both?)
