And, a recent tour of one of the Asian powerhouse’s vehicle plants has proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt, at least to Honda President and CEO Toshihiro Mibe.
“We have no chance against this,” Mibe said upon a visit to a Shanghai parts factory, commenting on its seamless automation across all levels of production. Logistics, procurement and all aspects of the process were so automated, in fact, that he did not spot a single human worker on the supplier’s floor.
Ford executives saying even three years ago that China was way ahead of the game
Toyota’s CEO has likewise said regarding not just his company, but the industry in general, “unless things change, we will not survive”
Because trucks are made with safety loopholes and have higher profit margins, and Ford shit the bed with the Fusion, Festiva and Focus with a garbage transmission they knowingly sold for 7 years.
And SUV’s are just treated as trucks. this is 100% correct.
and we ignore EV’s because… we won’t do the work to make EV’s work, like charging infrastructure. It’s all so painfully stupid and transparently to benefit the fossil fuel cartel
I’m still mad we lost sport sedans for this EPA bs.
Everything is a crossover or SUV to gg ez the emission laws because of the weight class.
Random 5 seater SUV will be producing more emissions than a WRX or Evo Lancer.
