Lynk & Co Pushes Back Launch For Europe and U.S.

Life Time Warranties are cool, but everything wears out and I can see this bankrupting a company.

In regards to sharing an auto. No thanks too many pigs that have a I do not care attitude. I like my auto's like new and am a bit OCD about them. 

Interesting is how Porsche style like that CUV is in the above story.

Car still scares me....

daves87rs what in particular scares you about the car, my understanding is that the car hasn't even been released yet nor have we seen touched or driven it. I don't want you to think that I'm beating their drum but Geely and Cherry though they knock off styleing from what I've read make decent autos probably on the order of 2nd generation Hyundai. A guy I knew had one and the power window regulators went out a lot.comfortable and good mileage. Like it or not the Chinese exports Buick and Volvo both premium autos.

Hmm.  Someone explain to me why anyone would create a new car and export it into one of the most crowded auto environments ever (especially a stagnant European market) and have a vehicle whose unique selling point sounds more like a car-sharing service than car ownership.

Call me skeptical.  Good luck though.

Automakers who don't compete in the U.S. see numbers like "16-million-plus sales volume of new cars and trucks" and "average transaction price of $30,665, according to J.D. Power" and want a piece of this. But the U.S. is an unforgiving place.

"People around the world look at the sales volumes going on here, and they look at the fortunes being made here, and they look at what the outlook is in other parts of the world -- and they want to be here," said Charlie Hughes, owner of the brand-consulting firm Brand Rules.

"But the plain truth is that unless you're coming in with something truly unique, it is just not plausible that you're going to get anywhere in this market."
