Crush Japan and crush all USA vassal states
>>28893620USA is begging for us to save themhttps://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-held-talks-with-chinas-xiaomi-over-ev-partnership-ft-reports-2026-01-31/
>>28893617Safety and environmental regulations have neutered modern cars so much that there is no soulful difference between an ICE and a self-propelled refrigerator. I may as well get a chink mobile if I'm going to be surrounded by screens and cameras and remote shutoffs/controls in an egg-cocoon with 3 ft of crumple zones in every direction and tiny cunny slits for windows no matter what I buy.
>>28893633>I may as well get a chink mobileThis. Any other option is retarded.
>>28893633dont buy new carskeep old cars runningand the people who want to get old cars off the road, introduce them to woodchipper
>>28893617I really don't care. I'll be keeping my shitboxes alive as long as I live and afterwards who gives a shit.
>GoyotaNot my problem.
>spend 10 years listening to everyone around you say EV is the future>incentivized by the government to develop EVs >ignore them and don't do anything while most of your competitors set up their factories and product lines>oh shit guys our future doesn't look good who could have forseen this
Toyota is in so much trouble
>>28893633>>28893636>calling them chinks>but spreading your ass for them
>>28893777thats the spirit
>>28893623Buick sells Chinese cars in America already
>>28893805This, I'm mystified by Japanese automaker decision-making, or at least long term planning, I thought they were supposed to be good at that. I'd think your typical Japanese driver's routine (kei car, drive less than 50 miles a day) would be a slam dunk for electric cars but having been there the electrical infrastructure to back it up is borderline nonexistant.
>>28893805>just succumb to the communists brotake your booster
>>28894258If you own a car in Japan you're bound to have a parking space so you can charge it at home.
>>28894330parking spacenot garageit can be a car park in the boonies with only electrification being the gate and a single streetlight
>>28893805evs are dead anon. the german majors are having to pivot back to ice and stallantis just took a multi-billion dollar haircut on that shit. it'll be hybrid at most and ice for the rest for a while yet.
>>28894408> the german majors are having to pivot back to iceliteral fake news, the laws are still in place.Starting 2030 cars in the eu are allowed to only consume 20ml gas station petrol per kilometer in wltp, that translates to 117,61mpg before fines have to payedstarting 2035 it will be 0ml per kilometerat that point you need a 50kwh battery in a hybrid
>>28894437By 2035 Brusel is probably gonna be an irradiated wasteland and we can go back to zipping around in non-EGR, non-DPF diesels
>>28894452You do understand that cars and their factory lines are drafted in 4+ year long development cycles?You understand that model year 2030 is less than 4 years away?
>>28893808A sedan is selling? /o/ told me lies!
>>28894460why the fuck would i ever buy a new car, thats disgustingim talking about just doing deletes on the good cars and not being fined a gorillion merkelshekels for starting it up
>>28894463you must be some boomer already on deaths door.Do you not understand the new car -> used car pipeline?all the shit sold today is what gets dripfed to the likes of you in 10 years but broken and rusted out. The hanful of unicorns with good engines, not abused, not rusted out and electronics that didnt shit the bed will get traded for porsche prices to a market with 10 times demand over supply.
>>28893620/Thread
>>28894465lol im probably younger than you. modern cars wont live/be maintainable at their 10 years or thousands of kms mileage or it wont be economical at all. I have a Samurai for fucking around in the woods that essentially immortal because you can buy newly made anything and I got spare engines with refurb kits laying round. Wrenching on it is so easy a child could do it. Can even TDI swap it. Also have a pre-DPF VW T5 which sometimes needs stab links and shit like that but otherwise will run forever and parts for it are also cheap, not difficult to work on. And toyota tundra which doesnt need anything at fucking all besides fluid changes, is old as fuck has a lot of mileage, gets rustproofed and I'd bet good money that cars being made today will end up in a scrapyard long before the Tundra gives up.Theres people maintaining 30-40 yo basic trucks and using them as dailys because they still got parts, were not designed to be planned obsolescent goyslop laptop on wheels.Oh yeah and toyota still makes LC79 or the Hilux champ for mena and south asia which are stupid simple reliable trucks that can come back into europe as soon as the grannycracy dies. Modern cars, especially those made in countries that push this garbage can eat a dick. Im never giving a single penny to a european car manufacturer.
>>28894462>/o/ told me lies!You seem surprised
>>28894499>but otherwise will run forevercopethe manufacturer of my car stopped making spares at the 20 year mark, so the global supply of quality spares for this model is shrinking and some are already unavailable>and parts for it are also cheapand most cheap chink parts are broken out of the box already, propably why your t5 needs linkages "sometimes" and not just after 200k miles on the old set>or it wont be economical at alldont kid yourself, i wrench on my car and keeping a shitbox alive is only economical when doing the absolute bare minimum and assuming wrench time is free.The opposite, old car restauration to great condition, is one of the most expensive hobbies one can have>Theres people maintaining 30-40 yo basic trucks and using them as dailysand propably averaging 1000 miles a year, old cars that actually reach high mileage are rare>were not designed to be planned obsolescent goyslop laptop on wheels.thats where it shows that you are young and retarded. The average age of cars is increasing yearly, nu cars (2000+) on average get older than all previous model generations
>>28893808Was Mercedes really autistic enough to formally change the gwagons name to gclass? LMAOThey've been pushing that for decades now.
>>28893617Oh no another auto only egg car manufacturer down the drain, what ever will I do, I might even have to stop buying rental cars (auto only, egg shape, McDonald's struts, plastic engine) wowww!!
>>28893633use case for soul?
>>28894620Your poor ass can't afford new cars anyway
>>28894260We had electric cars in America in the 1890s. GM developed and produced the EV1.
toyota is the only company I know of who accidentally builds something cool and punishes itself for it.every time they have something worth a fuck they immediately drop it.they were ahead of the time because by like the mid 90s they completely stopped having anything worth a fuck at all.fuck those retards.
