In May, Chinese automakers collectively outsold Japanese brands in Europe for the first time in history.
Here in Australia, to the end of May, China was the number one source of new cars, with more than 144,000 vehicles pushing Japan into second place for the first time ever at 117,000.

For a long time, they've been pouring money into dumb stuff like making their engines 0.05% more efficient.
Or maybe 1% more efficient, but you see my point.
