h0ngcom just see this video today. h0ngcom don't see the comments, but understands why the admin disable comment section. h0ngcom believe there are many negative comments.
1. Why not Lotus before this? Why not Koenigsegg before this? Why not Kia before this? (and many possible questions)
2. Many gamers are also don't like Chinese cars.
3. Gamers may seeing "adding Chinese cars to the game" are "Woke movements" from a game company too.
h0ngcom understand.
2013: I woke up in a new Bugatti.
2026: I woke up in a new Biyadi.
BYD Targets Japan’s Kei-Car Market with New All-Electric “K-Car”
h0ngcom thinks: The EVs Queen and The Electric Explorer, we will miss you. Not kidding. That channel changes its name again. And its car videos also not limited to EV now.
Viking can refer to an explorer, as the Vikings were skilled seafarers who explored vast areas of Europe, the North Atlantic, and even North America. (AI Overview)
For economies of scale, I think this car will be available in many countries, not limited to Japan only like the Japanese-brand's Kei Cars.
In China there are still demands of "Mini EVs."
I think the first-launchs in Japan is to create good images that it is a car that meets Japanese standards.
However, h0ngcom thinks this car's side view looks too much like Honda N-Box/Suzuki Spacia/Daihatsu Tanto. H0ngcom thinks it is too similar to them. Japanese people may see BYD as a Chinese copycat company again.
And I guess the Japanese automakers may have some gentlemen's agreements, so their cars can be look similar. But BYD is not a Japanese so I think it won't have any of them.
