Europe’s Most Iconic Little Cars Are Coming Back — There’s Just One Problem: China

Описание: The Citroën 2CV is back. So are the Renault 5, the Renault 4 and the Twingo — and the Fiat Panda is next. Europe is reviving its most loved little cars to fight cheap Chinese EVs with the one weapon China can't copy: nostalgia.

But lift the bonnet on some of these legends and you find China. The new Twingo was developed in Shanghai. The electric Mini Cooper is built in China. And the new 2CV and Panda may be standing on Chinese Leapmotor technology.
