BYD Has A Whole Deck Under Their Sleeves
When I was assigned to cover BYD in China, I thought maybe they still had an ace or two in their sleeve. They took us on a small tour of their headquarters in Shenzhen, their new Di Space Museum, and their recently opened All-Terrain Circuit in Zhengzhou over five days. As we walked through different rooms, looked at several walls, and rode many cars, I realized BYD doesn’t have just an ace but a whole deck under their sleeve.

BYD's History Is A Life Lesson To Behold
I really don’t want to go back to China. Their cities have thick smog even at 7 AM, I always end up coughing despite the visually clean surroundings, and the food is bland. Yet there I was for five days last week with BYD. I was curious how this brand came to be, more than anything else, which is why I said yes to this trip.

Review: 2025 MG One 1.5 CVT Lux
I don’t know exactly what MG had in mind when they came up with the MG One. When it was launched, it was sized like the MG HS (which was offered at the time), and even shares similar price points and features. MG seems to admit to it as much since its name, which spells out “ONE” doesn’t fit in with the rest of the line-up’s alphanumeric naming convention which uses Arabic numerals like 3, 4, 5, and 7. Perhaps, I’d get the full picture when the all-new MG HS comes in, but for now, it begs the question: does it make sense for MG to spawn off a separate product line based simply on how it looks?
