Ignorant posting. I know its an ignorant post because you have to fall back on a political insult to describe a <deleted> car preference. The most fuel efficient motors use wet timing belts. You will barely get 45k miles out of these because the <deleted> rubber belt dissolves in the oil. When the rubber dissolves, it creates a sludge. The sludge blocks the oil pump strainer, <deleted> up the engine. Wet belt change; $3000. Add to that a transmission that barely last 50k kms (eg <deleted>ty Ford Powershift), everything coded to the car (so now to replace a headlamp bulb, its no longer a $5 bulb, but a $2000 unit, another example of a legacy car maker literally <deleted> you up the arse, and you saying thankyou. 2026 ICE cars will barely make 10 years. They'll get scrapped because repairs become uneconomic. Presuming you can get the parts, because thats the new trend among your dino car makers; limited parts support. And don't tell your 28 year old heap is an efficient car. No, its a piece of <deleted> that was only supposed to last 15 years when built in the mid-90s Hybrids ain't reliable. Thats another lie that you pensioner muppets have swallowed hook line and sinker, paying more for a car with less room and <deleted>ty handling to boot. I'm not sure what the outcome will be with cars, but Chinese cars are not <deleted>, unless you pay <deleted>ty car prices. In which case they will be as <deleted>ty as a <deleted>ty cheap petrol car for the same money. Westerners? Speak for your self. Don't presume what the rest of us thng. And don;'t dare try that ignorant "Wokie" crap, it displays an argument devoid of substance. You stick to your 4th hand old cars. There will be still plenty around by the time you peg it in the next 10-15 years. But quit with the ignorant, intolerant insults to describe people who don't agree with your <deleted> choices in car. Justify your choice in car without the Pavlovian instinct to hurl insults. I drive a V8 Jag and a race spec sports car by the way. None of that E10 <deleted> in them.
