GM were paying $US3.70 an hour at their Shanghai plant in 2020. This was considered good and double the general wage. In France in 2017 the average hourly car worker wage was $US36.70.

Eek. Exactly 1/10 the salary. Thanks for those numbers. There'd be fewer pension benefits too in China. The salary ratio for young engineers and hydrogeologists in our Beijing office was closer to 1/4 to 1/5 I think. We certainly could get good plan drafting work done in our Jakarta office for a fraction the cost of doing it in Oz.GM were paying $US3.70 an hour at their Shanghai plant in 2020.

Have you seen the price of them? I doubt Inchcape will sell many!I just saw a Peugeot advertisement on Facebook that plug-in hybrid versions of the 3008 GT Sport and 508 GT Fastback have arrived and are available now for pre-launch test drives. This may also account for the uptick.

More likely people turn there when they cant get their first choice because of the long waits on new cars at the momentThat's a surprise. Maybe a fleet sale to a rental company?

Like selling cars in 1950. Long waiting lists for popular models, supply short and anything with wheels sells. No evidence of a Stellantis Asia Pacific strategy yet.January 2022
