Depends on how cheap is cheap. Chinese OEMs are smart enough to know that low price is irrelevant if the product sucks. Trying to remember if those Chevrolet Sparks flew off the shelf at $14k... No I’m not. They didn’t. If Chinese-brand vehicles make it to the US expect them to be at around the same prices as the vehicles they compete with.

There are already Chinese vehicles being sold in the US. And they are all high priced and high quality. They just aren’t being sold by Chinese brands.

I rode in a Chinese-made MG 5 on my last trip to Mexico. Not a bad car. Felt like a lower content VW Jetta. Not on my list of purchases, but then my tastes in vehicle are rarely close to mainstream.
