Review: 2024 GWM Tank 300
The cars an automaker produces is typically seen as a reflection of their local market’s evolving tastes and preferences. This is why American car brands often produce large, hefty vehicles meant for straightaways, while Europeans tend to favor small, agile vehicles meant for tighter confines. The same goes for Asian models where Koreans still have a wide selection of sedans (very popular over there), while the Japanese have much more compact models on offer.
