The gray/silver sedan he called a 'corolla' definitely looks like a rebranded Subaru. I guess either way it's still a Japanese car in NK... friggin hilarious.
The only SOMEONE that would really buy a car is nobody (ik ik) because if you are lucky enough to be deemed worthy of having a car; the government would gift it to you. Government officials/ olympic winners etc
By comparison the Truman Show is utopia though. This is their shining star capital as this is as good as it gets and only for a small elite minority. Beyond this its practically medieval slums only with less food.
Imagine being an actor in NK knowing your job is to help convince foreign visitors that your country isn't shit, but when you get off work you're expected to actually believe your country is glorious and great with a great leader.
This remembers me the ministries workers in 1984. I think Orwell explains very well a way of how you can still believe the lies even when you are participating in the creation of them

Suave Chiang The people walking around are literally acting like they don't know whats at the dealership.How many dealerships can there be in North Korea.
Ok, how do you guys not know that the whole "acting" thing is just american propaganda? I mean, have you thought logically, WHY the hell would they do that? Yes, sure, they maybe put on a good show, like citys do when there is an Olympic game, but that everything is just STAGED? How is then normal life in North Korea? If they are suffering 24/7, how could they put on an act? I'm not pro-NK in any way. My thoughts with NK is that it is as authoritarian as a medieval european state. Such as, don't say anything bad about the king or you will be executed in the town center.
You would be interested in life-sized inflatables. ;D But seriously, what gets me is the factory plastic wrapped seats. These cars have never felt a pair of cheeks on them, and that's the real tragedy. v__v
It might look like an outdated piece of scrap but you will be spending several hundred grand in smuggling the car out getting past sanctions, transporting it, and smuggling it into your country

Glorious Korea has best automobiles in the entire world. Every car comes with Diesel engine, air conditioner, and wiper to clean windscreen during rainy weather. Chairman Kim invented the automobile when he was a boy and graced the people of Korea with his glorious and groundbreaking invention
Because in what normal country you can only go visit with a guide h24? Which take you to a dealership? Wtf? Imagine i ho to USA from Europe i won’t visit normal places like supermarkets or car dealerships . It looks like the guide is trying to tell them “Look North Korea is normal people buy cars!”
Pyeonghwa Motors actually's got some good looking cars, I wonder if they're any good...Or if you could get one outside NK (or even buy one over there and move it overseas). That tag-less sedan actually looks really cool...imagine how badass would it be to drive one of these outside of NK. (With all that North-Korean branding, and probably North-korean written dashboard as well).
Should have stayed there for like 6 hours...the actors would have been like "when's this guy gonna leave?! We need to go back to pray to our leader" lol
most likely they werent actors, the only actor was the fucking idiot narrator. Those so called actors were looking at him because theyve never seen a foreigner before, let alone such a naive and arrogant one with this obnoxious attitude

i'm sure, the employees have no idea where those strips come from. rather than stupidity, this is fucking sad
6 airbags and 12 microphones in every car. High safety rating if your not denouncing the leader
Everything inside me would be screaming, “Get Out!”
North Korean actors: "Do you think he knows?"
North Korean government: "Just smile and wave."
"Just smile and wave bois just smile and wave"
"You like this car?"
"Well, I certainly can't complain about it."
Imagine if the "customer" gave him that response...
is that a hunger games quote
Idk what thjs guys thinking
Didnt Obama leave people in jail their until trump got in office?
That “leopard” is a rebranded mitsubishi montero from the late 90’s 😂
No airbag! Look how skinny the steering wheel is.
This is pathetic.
I want a leopard
The gray/silver sedan he called a 'corolla' definitely looks like a rebranded Subaru.
I guess either way it's still a Japanese car in NK... friggin hilarious.
@@GunShark0 facts I was like thats a damn subaru legacy
@@midcenturymodern9330 don’t need an airbag if there aren’t any other cars on the road to crash into.
This video is ridiculously good! Thanks Erick for doing this.!
Tbh that green SUV looks pretty good
The REAL problem comes when someone actually WANTS to buy a car...there would be a lot of confusion.
In nk it's not allowed to have cars
I'm looking at the kei van with the steering wheel on the left side. Hmmm...

Exactly 😂😂😂

Imagine being an actor in NK knowing your job is to help convince foreign visitors that your country isn't shit, but when you get off work you're expected to actually believe your country is glorious and great with a great leader.

That sedan is a rebadged Subaru Impreza. Love it.

Suave Chiang The people walking around are literally acting like they don't know whats at the dealership.How many dealerships can there be in North Korea.
Suave Chiang you guys are paranoid as fuck....american gov dictated media sheep...anybody who is opposing america is deviled
Ok, how do you guys not know that the whole "acting" thing is just american propaganda? I mean, have you thought logically, WHY the hell would they do that? Yes, sure, they maybe put on a good show, like citys do when there is an Olympic game, but that everything is just STAGED? How is then normal life in North Korea? If they are suffering 24/7, how could they put on an act?
I'm not pro-NK in any way. My thoughts with NK is that it is as authoritarian as a medieval european state. Such as, don't say anything bad about the king or you will be executed in the town center.
The "leopaard" looks a bit like an early 2000's Mitsubishi Pajero in styling and interior
What do you think would happen if you had them pop the hood in mock appreciation then pointed out the branding of the real car company?
Wonder if those floor models even have engines
if they are north Chinese clones they most likely have engines cloned as well
They ARE completely re-badged Chinese cars, just for North Korea...
probably some random chinese copy of the mitsubishi 4g64 engine
One is a copy if a pajero and the van looks like a fiat ducato (i know fiat had a venture in nk). So yeah, i do believe they work. Most likely chinese

$30K for a car without an engine? Looks like this dealership learned from EBay.
@Greg r/whooosh
Would be interesting to see these run through IIHS's small-overlap crash test.
fun fact ，that sedan was actually a old Chinese model which was bulid on old Mazda 6 platform 😂
Oh, they would, but they have vastly superior safety standards and don't need to. 😉
I'm surprised the cars are real and not just life-sized inflatables
You would be interested in life-sized inflatables. ;D
But seriously, what gets me is the factory plastic wrapped seats. These cars have never felt a pair of cheeks on them, and that's the real tragedy. v__v

Glorious Korea has best automobiles in the entire world. Every car comes with Diesel engine, air conditioner, and wiper to clean windscreen during rainy weather.
Chairman Kim invented the automobile when he was a boy and graced the people of Korea with his glorious and groundbreaking invention

Very nice, it would be honor, if Premier Kim would visit Glorious nation of Kazakhstan where automobile run with a Gypsy tears

"Do you like this car?"
*Doesn't respond*
"I think I scared them"
*Turns around*
Lol
Haha fr
In English
how are you so sure they're all actors? is it so hard to imagine people buy cars
Because in what normal country you can only go visit with a guide h24? Which take you to a dealership? Wtf? Imagine i ho to USA from Europe i won’t visit normal places like supermarkets or car dealerships . It looks like the guide is trying to tell them “Look North Korea is normal people buy cars!”
Oh, definitely not actors. They act so naturally with such organic interactions. I'm thoroughly convinced.
Pyeonghwa Motors actually's got some good looking cars, I wonder if they're any good...Or if you could get one outside NK (or even buy one over there and move it overseas). That tag-less sedan actually looks really cool...imagine how badass would it be to drive one of these outside of NK. (With all that North-Korean branding, and probably North-korean written dashboard as well).
Should have stayed there for like 6 hours...the actors would have been like "when's this guy gonna leave?! We need to go back to pray to our leader" lol
his tour guides would force him to leave
it's also really common for groups of customers to discuss the cars together at the counter, after thoroughly looking at them in the showroom...
Tech Defender they would of told him hurry up and buy
most likely they werent actors, the only actor was the fucking idiot narrator. Those so called actors were looking at him because theyve never seen a foreigner before, let alone such a naive and arrogant one with this obnoxious attitude
volkbyte They most likely were actors and judging by how offended you are that he exposed them you are probably one too.
Reminds me when they did a tour and they had people looking at blank screens "using the computer"
That's cargo cult. Westerners sit in front of these and they got everything. Maybe if we do the same...
Can you share a link to that video? It sounds more funny. This video makes it harder to be sure his actor suggestion is accurate. Sitting and looking at blank screens while typing or moving the mouse would be far more amusing.
@@OmnivorousOtter101 It's blocked and I can't watch it.

They minimized everything really quickly when they heard footsteps. I was just... word processing.
The leopard looks pretty cool to be completely honest. I think I would buy it if I had the chance and money
Yeah, the interior looked pretty nice ngl
@@wagadoogado i like that it's just a car without any bells and whistles. They even managed to make the screen look utilitarian by just popping it on the dash. The radio below the screen looks familiar though. It looks like some sort of blaupunkt. They put one in one of our company's semi truck a few months ago and it sounds amazing
It's definitely worth every penny of the 30k USD.
I wanted to scream when he said, "let's follow them."

That's crazy
damn
They sure did all spring into action after that cough...I’m sure you are 100% correct.
And they started to read that brochure
Nah bro That’s the start of Covid
0:50 you can see “猎豹汽车” on the license plate frame, they imported cars and trucks from China (kinda explains the 3M brand), took the emblems off and put North Korean names on them.
That car is actually the good old Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero from the 90s with some questionable cosmetics done. It's called Changfeng Liebao Q6
@Sarkan Arkhé I know. Remaking the Pajero is probably not the worst thing to do since it was actually a really good car.
Bergbau Hansi true, but you get chinese build quality and not robust, precise Japanse work of art
@Sarkan Arkhé It's a good car, widely used by Chinese military until 2010s
good eye
Why did I watch a car dealership in a country so curiously?
What can one expect from one of the most severely sanctioned country in the world! 😅
How the hell did you get away with saying such things and not get in huge trouble by your North Korean handlers?
because none of them speak English!
+sarahhime they do teach English in their primary school. Sure, they will never use it in their lifetime, but will understand it, some of them.

The NPCs occasionally glance back at you nervously. I love the conjoined dove logo. Oh yeah, uh, peace. (nervous chuckling) The pricing is bonkers.
