Mazda officially opened the order books on its new Mazda EZ-6 EV and EREV versions of the car in China yesterday. And the starting price? It’s under $25,000.

Co-developed by Mazda and Chinese state-owned Changan Auto, the EZ-6 was one of two new electric offerings that debuted back in April. The other was a CX-5/0-sized crossover called the Arata, but the EZ-6 seemed closer to production, with a promised on-sale date later this year.

That would be cool news if I was in China.

I was quite interested until they said it's in China. Hopes dashed.

There's a century old urban legend that the Chinese once copied a western steam engine design, which had a dent in its exterior from shipping, and included the dent in the copy's design.

The jokes about the Chinese only copying western tech are now about as out-dated as those about the Japanese were in the 90's.

Oh boy!!! Oh, China….. crap

Hey car makers, when do we get a cheap EV?

As soon as our gov starts an auto company and covers 50% of the cost.
