Roman just got back from the Paris Auto Show and he’s got a big warning for Detroit: Chinese cars are surprisingly good, and GM and Ford should be worried. Roman breaks down what he learned after driving three Chinese cars, and Andre weighs in on what it all could mean for the American market.

Roman drove the Geely E2, the world’s most popular Chinese car, then the E5 and the Zeekr 7 GT, and was impressed by the build quality, the tech, and the price. Plus, he gets into the ultra-luxurious Zeekr 9X and its 900 horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain, how the Chinese are bringing back the station wagon, and what it all means for Detroit. Also, the Citroën 2CV revival, the BAIC 212 off-roaders, a new Alfa Romeo concept, a Fiat Multipla concept, and the VW California camper we wish we could buy here.
