If all cars, it's just at 9th place (I assume it's GAC + Toyota JV).

Malaysian so brand conscious, not surprised nobody buying them. Who would trust the brand let alone combo with TC after-sales.

I beg to differ.

They are the first to bring in EV, with Nissan Leaf. Just that they are way to ahead of time.

First to bring in crossover, with Nissan Livina X gear

Their Grand Livina is miles better than Toyota Avanza

Yea very fast…

Geeli kinda started a bit late on ev compared to other motherland brand…

But bcoz they own so many sub brand. Any ev tech breakthru in any of their sub brand is vertically tech transfer sharing integrated across all their car brands…

Thats how they suddenly leapfrog so many other motherland competitor so fast….

Yes memang salah Tan Chong, Marketing not pushing enough, existing salesman from Nissan pun jump ship since Nissan sales plummet and cannot cari makan.

U look at GAC thailand, their GAC Aion can sell well there. I foresee ini Wuling Bingo might lose out to emas 5 in term of sales figure.

basically they make mistakes and continue to do so

GAC = UMW Toyota of China, back in the day they were Toyota's factory now they make their own ICE cars under GAC brand.
Aion = Basically GAC's EV car arm, designs uninspired and boring.

Salute TCM for finding a partner who makes cars and philosophy as boring as themselves.

Wuling = Makes cheap and cheerful but uggos EV. Tested the Bingo last weekend, overall body reminds me of Perodua Kancil. Interior wants to copy that Mini, VW, Ora Cat vintage look but at lower quality. Driving UI/UX like most ICE cars, more of a transition to EV car or student car with its cheap toy looks and limited range. Something upper M40 fathers might buy for their daughters to go to Sunway or Taylors then go home, not enough range to go on joyrides.

Nissan Kick = good technology but the size, build quality and design asking price which pits it against Proton Emas7, Jetour Dashing and Honda HRV. It is basically an EV car that runs on petrol, a decent idea which is better than PHEV but paying above 100k but getting Perodua Axia interior quality. Sitting in the cheaper Jetour Dashing you can feel it is worth 100k especially with the gadgets and performance.

Nissan overall = dying brand under Stellantis. TCM should've taken Leapmotor franchise.

Where are these models today? Leaf sales volume?

As owner of three legendary Datsun and Nissan sedans, can see TC went downhill after the family squabble early this century
