Any German or Japanese brand. However the tiggo 8 interior quality is a match for much more expensive Merc, Audi or BMW cars.

Until it falls apart in 5 years. See the post above where they simply skip entire validation processes just to be quick to the market.

I agree. But It doesn’t matter If you lease the car for 3-4yrs.

Valid point. However, many have 7 years warranty.

I wonder when European brands raise the warranty, 2-3 year for expensive cars is shameful.

European car brands don't have to. There's no financial incenstives to do so. Korean brand only offered 7 because they desperately needed a unique selling point to convince consumers to not buy a Japanese or German brand. Chinese brand are doing so to squash barriers to purchase both from consumers and dealers who might buy a 2-3 year old car as stock

Let us first distinguish between European and German here. European car brands besides German ones are decimated everywhere else but Europe. And before some pedantic fool says - "but Ferrari...", I am talking mass market here, not super niche exotics. So of course there was an incentive to offer better warranties to stay competitive but they didn't and they failed (among other reasons).

And German brands face the same fate once the facade of "superior German engineering" fades.

This premise is kinda wrong as they were never a thing for the global markets to begin with. And some old cheap relics sold as new cars in developing countries doesn't count.

True. But at least there was a time when Jaguars and Alfa Romeos were a thing here in US.

Sure but there are so many other European brands, and none really went global

Thinking about it, really the only countries with truly global penetration are Germany, Japan and Korea
