Too MANY car brands in AUS!? + BYD's INSANE Speed Record CRASH

The Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) says the September quarter gave dealers their first negative profit result since the GFC. It wants a pause on new car brands entering the country, plus a 10-point plan aimed at government, suppliers and carmakers. Chinese cars are why they're twitchy. China-built cars found 37,503 buyers in October, up 94 per cent. We highlight the massive influx of 11 incoming Chinese brands expected by 2027, while contrasting the dealers' concerns with extreme engineering achievements, such as BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme electric hypercar surviving a 420 km/h crash before setting a Guinness-recognised 503.17 km/h production car speed record in Abu Dhabi. The second half explores the blurring lines between traditional legacy badges and Chinese manufacturing, focusing on the incoming China-born Honda Avancier and political discussions from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Kevin Rudd regarding the potential return of local EV manufacturing. Feann also breaks down October's VFACTS sales data showing diesel reclaiming the top spot, Mazda's strategy amidst 67 competing brands and NVES emissions regulations, a viewer Q&A regarding Subaru's future hybrid options, and a rapid-fire news roundup covering the Kia Tasman updates, the global axing of the Tesla Cybertruck, and reviews of the latest BMW 3 Series and Audi RS5 wagon. 00:00 New Cars Coming to Australia 2027 and Weekly Car News Intro 00:49 Australian Car Dealers Crisis: AADA Calls for New Car Brand Pause 04:33 11 New Chinese Car Brands Coming to Australia in 2027: Jetour F700, Hongqi and Wey 05:38 Yangwang U9 Xtreme 503kmh World Record, 420kmh Crash and Denza U8 08:43 Honda Avancier Confirmed for Australia 11:03 Australian Car Manufacturing Return: PM Anthony Albanese, Holden and Chery EV Plan 12:32 Diesel vs EV Sales Australia: October VFACTS Fuel Type Leaderboard 13:41 Mazda Australia Sales Drop, NVES Emissions Shortfall and Mazda 6e vs Tesla Model 3 15:52 Subaru Outback Hybrid Australia Release Date and Next-Gen Subaru WRX Question 17:04 Rapid Fire Mazda 6e vs Tesla Model 3, the full head-to-head review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUL-BH-Gp_0 Last week's Buckle Up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=531LA4zaYVc&t=133s Read more on carsales: Dealers at crisis point: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/crisis-point-for-aussie-car-dealers-as-chinese-brands-keep-coming-153505/ Chinese brands coming in 2027: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/chinese-auto-brands-coming-to-australia-153485/ YangWang U9 Xtreme 503km/h: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/yangwang-u9-xtreme-smashes-through-speed-barrier-153499/ Honda Avancier for Australia: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/honda-avancier-confirmed-for-australia-153497/ Kevin Rudd on Aussie car manufacturing: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/kevin-rudd-calls-for-return-of-aussie-car-manufacturing-153002/ PM pushes for Aussie-made EVs: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/no-reason-why-we-cant-pm-pushes-for-aussie-made-evs-152070/ Diesel retakes top spot: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/diesel-retakes-top-spot-as-evs-slip-153471/ Mazda comfortable selling fewer cars: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/mazda-comfortable-selling-fewer-cars-as-ev-share-grows-153409/ Kia Tasman fix-up and EV7: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/leaked-kia-document-hints-at-tasman-fix-up-and-ev7-153501/ Tesla Cybertruck axed: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/tesla-cybertruck-dead-and-buried-down-under-153339/ BYD Mako ruled out: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/byd-mako-ruled-out-for-australia-153484/ BMW M350 review: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/bmw-m350-2027-review-153502/ Audi RS5 review: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/audi-rs5-2026-review-153504/ Subscribe for the latest advice, reviews and comparison tests 👍 https://www.youtube.com/user/carsaleschannel?sub_confirmation=1 STAY UP TO DATE AND CONNECT WITH US https://www.carsales.com.au/ https://www.facebook.com/carsales.com.au https://www.instagram.com/carsalescomau/ https://www.tiktok.com/@carsalescomau carsales.
