    but at this point American car companies deserve to go out of business.

    I’ll take the bait, go on. Do tell. Why do they deserve to go out of business specifically? Just a “we hate America” position or ???

      No, it’s because they are stagnant, complacent, refuse to sell anything people actually want and instead railroads people into buying 100k dollar trucks they don’t need that do nothing but cause trouble, take space, and kill pedestrians, constantly bribe officials to get competitors neutered or banned, and overall treat their customers like actual dogshit. And I think this goes for any car company that sells in the US, they all know American customers don’t fucking care about being treated like shit so they do the same thing. Brazilian car companies did the same exact thing, and BYD and Geely essentially spooked them into lower prices and trying to be more customer friendly.

        Can you provide an example of how people are “railroaded” into buying trucks and how there is not a single car on the road in the US that “people want” yet they bought one anyway? These claims are so ridiculous.

        And I think this goes for any car company that sells in the US

        You’re claiming that no auto manufacturer in the world sells a vehicle that people want outside of these two Chinese brands? If thats the case then why don’t BYD and Greely have a 100% market share everywhere they’re sold?
