Emissions and safety regulations, unions and general European cuck retardation.
>>29100010>unionsLast I checked unions have been a benefit, at least in bongland. Unite the Union actively lobby against emmision mandate targets.

They started building in China.
>>29100019Nuh uh
>>29100020But "capital has no nationality"Supposedly.
>>29100020Instead of Mexico and Canada?
>>29100008Nothing. The system is working as intended, shareholder value has been maximized to the detriment of everything else. Time to move on to the next thing to exploit to exhaustion.
>>29100008They allowed vested interests and their export markets to dictate their national interests. They should have been on electric cars and renewables before anyone else.
>>29100008Maybe they should have learnt to build reliable cars instead on meme muh ultimate driving machine.>>29100035Canada doesn't build Euro cars, only the us and mexico do.
Dieselgate and pensions.
>>29100008really its because of europe's arrogance. They just assumed the US would pay for everything, China would make/buy everything, and that Russia would give free fuel. China becoming a competing world power, US wanting more investment/establish real control in south america, and Russia being retarded completely took euros off guard. Because of that. Europe spent the better part of a century completly defanging itself because they thought everyone else would pay for it, and now that they are forced to compete, they are fucked
Economy is K shaped90% of people cant even afford a house or a family, let alone a $150,000 mid level sports carShits fucked big time, I suspect well see gradual declines in every aspect of our lives for the next 5 to 10 years
>>29100087It is important for people to understand that this situation is not because of productive capacity or real resource availability. It is deliberately engineered because expansive production increases threaten the gap between rich and poor.
>>29100008Pretty sure it was being European. The cars were fine. >>29100044That’s stupid>>29100084Pretty much. Stupid commiesEurope sucks.
>>29100053>Canada doesn't build Euro cars,Yet.
>>29100012>Last I checked unions have been a benefit, at least in bonglandThe German unions have ensured that the guys snapping wire harnesses into place are paid about as well as doctors a country or two away, and probably have better benefits, too.Is it any wonder they can't compete with the chinks or even their competitors' factories in Hungary and Turkey?The Germans are also 10+ years behind in hybrid and EV tech, and if it wasn't for the competition, they'd probably still be making those 1.0 L turbo gasoline + DCT """premium""" poverty boxes that aren't fast, efficient, reliable or cheap.
>>29100258you are dealing with a retard who thinks that unions still work to their original intent instead of being immediatly corrupted into neo-fuedal guilds. at best the need to be intensely reformed, but euro unions are filled with old people and pensioners who would rather destroy everythib they built then let younger people have anything
>>29100098>Canada is going to somehow completely change their infrastructure to support building euro cars based on a "no dude trust us" associationCnaada doesnt have the money or reasources to do it. the best canadians can hope for is either bending down like a bitch to the US or bending down like a bitch to China
>>29100273>Canada doesn't have the moneyThey issue Canadian dollars. Canada can't run out of money.>or resourcesMaybe this is true, but your other assertion was so far off base I'm hesitant to believe it.
No reason to buy eurojunk when genesis exists
>>29100008>What went wrong Everything >EU regulations hitting the sweet spot where they're restrictive enough to make new cars expensive but not restrictive enough to incentivize ev/hybrid technology development>failed bet on diesel>muh premium strategy adapted by most EU manufacturers, causing them to fight for the same segment while leaving most of the market for chinks and japs>stagnant EU economy>Chinks less willing to pay premium just for a European badge>US tariffs and changing consumer preferences (either full ev or a truck/full size suv, neither offered by euro companies) >trade unions in Germany and France making any major transformation impossibleI just hope that Skoda survives when the VAG eventually ropes itself.
>>29100280Canadian dollars are barely worth the paper they're printed on.
>>29100008The E.U.
>>29100008>expand to china>experience massive growthbut>china will steal your tech and copy it at a lower priceThat's what happened in a nutshell. The big German makers grew fat sucking on China's tit, hiring thousands of useless middle managers and marketing people instead of actual engineers, and now they are being rapidly weaned off because the Chinese makers caught up and soulless bugmen don't care about driving pleasure, only money and tech features.
>>29100785But it was the Americans who came up with the slogan "capital has no nationality."So they infected European brains with their cosmopolitanism (perhaps inadvertently).
>>29100799Kind of, someone once explained western vs eastern capitalism really well to me. I don't remember exactly but basically western companies want to quickly maximize profit so they can give themselves huge bonuses and get rich, while Chinese companies play the long game, the CEO don't care if he gets no bonus for 10 years, it's all about long-term success.
Pretty much just appealing to different demographics
>>29100008Germans are all about hardware and manufacturing and the future is all software driven. They also like extensively troubleshooting stuff to perfection before releasing it to market and this flies in the face of how software development works (just send it and patch out the issues later). Really they peaked way back in the 80s when Mechanical engineering was the name of the game.I don't think it's even worth talking about other Europeans.
For real tho would you fly on a Boeing or an Airbus?
>>29100008
>>29100824the A380 is the greatest airliner ever made.
>>29100820>Germans are all about hardware and manufacturingNo, they used to be. They hardly make anything now. Their manufacturing core has been continuously gutted over the past several decades, VW just closed a ton of plants. Energy and labor is simply too expensive there. Not to mention the german govt and EU regulatore trying their hardest to deindustrialize the continent.
>>29100652Canada has almost inexhaustible supplies of hard mineral resources, all of which can be purchased with Canadian dollars. I think you just have some snappy one liners in your head that you think sound good, but aren't grounded in reality.
>>29100856>all of which can be purchased with Canadian dollarsnot true, you need Yuan
>>29100019That's Cowboy Bebop, also known as the hacker 4chan
>>29100852Hughes H-4 would like a word on that.
>>29100852
>>29100439It's just Koreajunk and it's not even Best Korea Junk...
>>29100652Polymer. Canadian bills are polymer.
