There seems to be a French charm offensive to counter the influx of Chinese products. Germans appear to still be stood still.
Yeah, I guess with the onslaught of the relatively generic cheap Chinese cars, it actually makes sense for European car companies with long histories to leverage on it and resurrect their iconic designs from the past. That's something at least the Chinese manufacturers can't do.

There obviously was massive hype around the ID Buzz, but VW fucked that one up by making it too expensive, right?
