Great photos, showing the real world conditions, for the cars we see in shows and showrooms.
Manufacturers take note of the environment that Chinese cars are exposed to. For example, the foldable side mirrors. There is now a trend to locate them on the doors instead of at the base of the A pillar. For some owners this does make a difference in tight quarters, like parking garages and narrow lanes.
Body paint stone chip, and scratch, resistance are also noteworthy. And how about tire sidewall torture, at the mercy of curbs.
I suppose it will still be awhile before pedestrians are able to take full possession of their sidewalks, for a relaxed walk in the city. Rome wasn't built in a day..... :-o
Thanks for sharing.
