> still lack good reputation in terms of durability, repairability or reliability

Are Western cars particularly better in these areas? I have a Mercedes E class (W212) bought new several years ago which I've always serviced at Mercedes authorized workshop. It's a money pit. Reliability — something or the other snaps every other month these days. Repairability — even simple things require taking apart the whole car. Durability — you mean the strength of the body? Yeah that seems good, actually.

And I know mine is not a one-off case.

Maybe the Chinese cars might actually get these things right. We don't know yet.

The European cars' redeemable aspect is that they drive well.

Go sit in a new Mercedes BMW, or even Volkswagen and enjoy all those screens. Decide for yourself if they're needed or not.

Fascinating how you caricatured away billions of people with a simple flippant thoughtless remark.

I believe caricatures are among the most precious things a human can produce, self-caricaturing even being abong the highest merits. This one is based primarimy on self-reflection, as most of them are, consciously or not.
