I like it a lot. One of my uncle's who came back from Europe after the war, owned a 1959 Beetle, and had it until the late 1970's, and boy, that little car was a lot of fun- 25 HP, 3-speed manual transmission, no radio, no AC, no power steering, no nothing, but very reliable-never broke- and economical, and never rusted. It is a shame it was destroyed in a car accident.......
I am from Germany and the car is really nice. I believe the German lost the game in the EV market. That's why I am investing in BYD and Tesla
Our manufacturers only focus on upper class cars. That's why we'll lose the game in the whole car market in the next years. Like there's just no innovation anymore in terms of engines or design
Looks great, better than the New Beetle from VW IMO
But can you imagine for example VW building an electric retro Citroen DS just for fun? So weird!
Yes... and more interior pics.... off the hook design... brilliant!
Love it - it's OUTRAGEOUS - and the Good Cat car too is a little beaut.
I’d buy one on the name alone; who wants a ‘Testarossa’ when you can have a Punk Cat?
Even the Ora good cat sound good
OMG that car just messes with my head. Part sci-fi. Part retro. Part tiny pimpmobile. (For tiny…wares?) And all Chinese. Woohhh.
Looks awsome, I would buy one.
Its lovely. There is not a single car on the road today that I would rather have. Can't beat the retro stuff and there is going to be a lot more of it coming from the Chinese. Take for example the Opel Manta A(from 1970). Recently Opel teased a once-off electric conversion(the beautiful Electromod which people loved as it stayed true to the original design). Then they announced the new Manta would be an SUV - something completely different. I did warn them that if they messed this up the Chinese will step in and do it for them. Take one look at the Manta A and you will understand why. Corporate ass being whipped in central square.. I can't wait
It looks great. We tend to think of this style as a Beetle style, but actually there were lots of cars that had similar-ish styling, if you go back far enough. It is just that the Beetle was the only car that continued this style for so long, so it is the only car that most of us know of with this kind of styling.
Yes the entire 1940s US car styling was similar to these body lines. Also the late 50s early 60s Volvo’s
Roads are short of past iconic style, funky, modern and practical cars. This is just one of them that deserve to be on the road.
I absolutely love the retro design and I'll definitely go for the retro closed rims to go along.
As much as I am leery of the Chinese politically, they are impressing me with their EVs.
Engineer Sandy Monro speaks very highly of the Chinese vehicles he looked at over there. VERY highly.
@@kirkjohnson9353 I follow Sandy, too.
Fck politics, I just want some good products that don’t break the bank. Who makes them is irrelevant. But who ever prevents me from buying what I want will be a problem to me.
@@jvs333 I’ll buy chinese made products all day.
@@blardymunggas6884 I agree. I remember when Americans laughed at Japanese cars and had the typical American arrogance that they were cheap Japanese junk (in reference to cheap Japanese toys). Yet Toyota killed GM replacing it as the world’s biggest auto maker. Then japan became the world’s leader in electronics, robotics etc. well China is the new japan it is now the world leader in EVs, electronics, robotics, AI, and just about everything else it takes on. The Industrial Age gave rise to the US (with help with WW2). Today the global tech-age has given rise to China.
Bonaparte once said of China, “not to wake the sleeping giant”. Well it’s awake now
The person who design the Ora punk cat is also the designer of Porsche, the great wall motor hired the designer of Porsche that is why they not getting sued
The ORA Punk Cat hape has a lot of potential, let's hope they evolve it! Cute!
I want one just for the name - Punk Cat. "...oh yea, well what do YOU drive?" "Me? A Punk Cat".
Ora makes a really good EV that is affordable. I saw the one that looks like the honda EV, its spot on and very well build.
Yes, very interested!
If it should be available for purchase in Mexico or Canada, I would be sorely tempted to vacation there and drive one back into the US. The dull uniformity of present day autos just doesn't compare to the 1950's or 1960's; this does.
They simply beat VW to it. VW had a good run when they re-released the Beetle. In the EV space with the release of their ID3 they had an opportunity to release an EV Beetle and it would sell likencrazy here and in Europe.
This car is a cross between the classic Beetle and the old London taxicabs. And it looks great.
I really like it. I'd like it more if they got rid of the chrome.
The VW Bug was surprisingly safe. A front frunk and the egg shape gave it a lot of strength,
Could I have one with Tesla FSD?
I think the chrome model was their top of the line model and I’m sure it was aimed at female buyers as the interior looked very femininely styled (bling) to appeal to “girlish” fun and fancy. Not being sexist just commenting on culture
GWM/Haval in South Africa have dropped hints that they are thinking of bringing in the ORA range. Considering that Haval just bumped Nissan out of fifth-largest car brand down here, that could be a real boost for the local EV scene. They have to do something about the branding, though. Maybe "good cat" works in Chinese, but in English ...
@michael Johnson: I think your wrong about the branding. I think it fits the western culture of branding (the beetle? Hello kiddy? Monster truck? Muscle car? And so on) good cat, punk cat, black cat has an appeal to the Facebook generation and from their designs it looks like that’s their targeted buyers, not the businessman. They’ll be a hit in any country if the quality of reliability is there
@@jvs333 You may be right but at last week's Munich show we have already seen them renaming "Good Cat" to just "Cat".
@@clasqm might be just a shortening of the name but I think the different “cat” names will appeal to buyers just as much as the VW was famously known as the beetle. Years ago I had a sign and display business I would often consult my clients (especially at trade shows) that it was import to connect with potential customers with personal trend point of sales. As well as what font was used, what color schemes , and over all presentation, I think the different cat names are cool and trendy identities like the “beetle” was
Bring it to the states and it would be a super hit
I like it.
Specs & reviews needed.
when this car will be available for sale in Canada????????
The interior definitely reminded me of a cross between Modern and Retro. Lots of cool ideas for sure.
Hi Sam, Yes I like the Punk Cat & would like more info for the Australian market...When available, price, range, battery chemistry, safety features yada yada.
It's quite a yucky rainy night here in Conondale QLD, & I'm wondering if there will be a power outage.....I've charged up all my flashlights etc.......if only I had an EV .....V2L *yum*
I live in America and I want one or 2 . Hopefully it has a decent range. I am guessing the trunk is in front like the old beetle. Everyone forgets that VW was the inventor of the Frunk.
Seems unlikely they could fit an airbag into the center of that retro steering wheel. That’s why you don’t see steering wheels like that anywhere in North America in modern times.
Its ok, but I prefer the good cat!
I'm really happy the Punk Cat followed the look of the classic Beetle more closely than the new beetles from VW did. I love the classic beetle and this is what I think is the best modernization of that beetle so far. Volkswagen should've done something like this themselves, and it makes me wonder why other car companies don't do something similar. When Ford came out with the electric mustang, they butchered the design. it doesn't even look like a mustang anymore. I don't understand why they wouldn't put the body of the classic mustang on the newer models with all the amenities of modern times. plus it being electric would be great too. It's like putting the design of your favorite classic car and slapping it on the body of a Tesla. You get a great functioning car and love the look of it too.
I love the 2 tone color ,it will look good any color my favorite color is burgundy red with white....
Yes. Please provide more ORA Punk info when you get it. What sort of price?
You make many videos about car manufacturer and batteries. Can you make a video about the Lithium Explorer in Australia or China. The stocks from Standard Lithium millennial Lithium and albermarle going to the moon. What do you can say us about pilbara minerals?
modern tech with a traditional driver interface - thumbs up from the older crowd!
I personally prefer futuristic over retro styling... but wow... the Punk Cat is quite the looker, both inside and out. And I've never liked the Beetle. Somehow they managed to give this car a unique flavour that seems to garner attention in a good way.
I love it. It will never be brought to America and if it was they would destroy the design. I would buy the Punk Cat in a minute.
Sure am looking to have as much info as possible on the Ora beetle type cars.
DOUG, expat in France.
I really like this car. Not because it looks like a VW beetle, but because of all the color and style it brings to an otherwise boring market of blacks and grays for interiors.
Bring back colorful good looking interiors!
Recently GWM/Ora released engine power figures... 544HP!!! woohoo, bring it on.
It's only a subtle likeness, if it had square lights the likeness would be gone and would look like a life sized RC car
VW have had their chance to produce a new EV Beetle and they haven't. I'd use this if it's any good
I see influences from VW but also Fiat, Honda and Citroen, among others. The third model seems pretty similar to the new Honda city commuter EV. The second looks a lot like the Fiat 500e.
Chinese must now build one Morris Oxford EV for Indian market, trust me everyone will go crazy for it. People in India are literally waiting for the revival of the Ambasador Sedan (AKA Morris Oxford) which was the longest run production car ever with a single design.
The designer is from Porsche and VW Beetle has discontinued for some time now.
yes love this car give me more and more , love that retro look
Someone should market a EV conversion kit for original VW Bugs💥
There is a guy in Southern California doing that
i like the retro style of car like this ora ballet..
Retro Bug, Not Bad.
But need to see what the Range and Safety Features are ?.
It would be awesome if they could bring back an exact copy of the old original micro bus or Westfalia camper van.
VW has a proto type EV of one that looks very VW bus but modernized
Very much appreciate Your program......Just one additional comment.........Can You buy just one shirt that actually fits.....Paul
The Chinese got the "upgrade" spot on here, even if its a copy. Very retro👌🏽
Awesome, well done Ora.
The punk cat is an interesting looking car.
I didn't see seat belts, or airbags, won't make it in the USA, bummer.
I keep saying, EVs don't have to look futuristic or knock-off copies of current ICE cars trying to disguise the fact they are EVs. They can also look retro! They can look like anything in fact, which is partly why the Cybertruck design was invented.
Hands down, the single greatest knock-off car from China.
I think within this year, very likely turning point would be reached for EVs when petrol prices hit A$2.00 for unleaded petrol. Not to be caught, car dealers will clamour to unload their resale cars by offering cheap loans
I want one in the States
The interior certainly is different. Not sure I could live with it for long though.
I think what they showed was aimed at female buyers I’m sure they have other color schemes that aren’t to female blingy
Good cat? My freakin next car.
Thank you for this tidbit. Always nice to see funny innovation. In the 1970s, I had beetles, Karman Ghias... they were very nice (gas guzzling oil burning) nifty cars. Electrified, and at a low price (less than 15kUSD) they might possibly gobble up a niche in the market... if they don't rattle, fall apart, lose their fenders, and can go 200kms without a recharge. Otherwise, they will be in the "city electric" cars which is in limited demand.
Omg.... love it
I want it
The original headlights is not like that. Foreign angent change it to be more attractive 🎉
Now this is Tesla's competition.
👍😎
We paid Porsche, the original designer.
Is there a Tom Cat? 😂
God please give me this car¿
I'm a dummy,,, but me thinks VW will rebadge/license the punk cat. Easy way to electrify the beettle brand
Take your shirt off ! Lol
From inspiration straight to knockoff. 😆🤦♀️😆😎
Son of a B. I thought that VW was making this car😂.
It looks dorky af. No thanks
