Even the once-mighty Japanese car makers are having to join together to fight the new Chinese invasion of markets.

On sale, yes. On the road no, they're very rare, at least in the places I live. In other European countries it could be different.

same at Greece.At which country are you reffering?

It's because the chinese cars are not cheaper than regular cars sold here. Sellers here think that they are something special and people fall for that.

In Italy and in Slovenia I can say Chinese cars are very rare on the road. In other parts of Europe maybe they're more common, I don't know. My guess is they're quite rare in all of Europe.

Here in Italy we have a brand called "Evo", which is a sub-brand of "DR", which is a brand that sells imported, rebadged Chinese cars since the late 2000's. Evo tries to put the Italian flag near their logos to make people who don't know about cars think it's a cheap local car.
DR and Evo are the only brands of Chinese origins I've seen here, but rarely, and a Great Wall pick-up twice in my life.
We have a big Chinese community in Italy, and they usually drive German cars.

In norway we have lots of uninterresting chinese EV cars trying to brake into the market.
Im not shure how long they going to try though, hongqi sold surprisingly many cars 3 years ago, like 2000 or something, last year like 7, and it has been lots of losses for secondhand cars.

Polestar is one of few chinese, or part atleast?, that has decent sales as i know of.
