I find it hilarious they they (The US automakers) enshitified their own products for decades and then discontinued models and features people wanted to march headlong into the electrified vehicle era(Which nobody wanted) only to find they are so shit, they can't even do that correctly and now have to ban even cross eyes chink products from competing kek, Bring back rear wheel drive sedans like the Crown vic and up your quality is all they have to do, but they won't, too busy trying to 'game the system'. Again, kek. I'll keep driving my 2007 Silverado.

Maybe the Chinese are just making a better product. It's no secret that modern North American vehicles suck cock and are filled to the brim with extraneous retarded bells and whistles no one needs or wants.

Look man you can keep crying about the situation but all I see is China continuing it's rise from nothing while the West just flounders and shits its pants. There are zero modern cars made in North America I want to purchase, they're all shit. Just give me a car that goes from point A to point B at a reasonable price with some basic buttons and no goofy touch screens and I'll buy it and drive it.

Why not let them build factory here? They do it in Brazil because of Brazilian protectionist policy. They have factory in Hungary for Europe. American automakers are beyond pathetic at this point.

I had an sl1. cheap and reliable. but then the corpos wanted to take that success and make even more money so they started making suvs and large sedans and killed the brand.
why do they keep doing this? the vw beetle. the first hondas. many such cases
>>
>>541954823
>slave labor
You mean the manufacturing jobs MAGA wants to bring back to America?

Yes, working in a factory is grueling and soul crushing.
But factory employees can quit any time they want (and often do) so it's not slavery.
>>
>>541954914
What planet do you live on? Do you think Chinese cars are being built by some Chinamen in straw hats pouring pot metal into sand molds in the ground? The disconnect between the Western world and the Asian world is astounding. In North America they still have some niggers putting parts on cars with rubber mallets and bolting tires on by hand. In China they have dark factories where everything is automated and they don't even need lights.

Being forced to buy shitty overpriced low quality American cars is a component to the humiliation ritual of being an Amerigoy.

>>541955099
They do this already with vehicle parts and then just fire all the Americans because they're seen as fat lazy inefficient retards.

>>541955233
because according to capitalism, competition pushes for innovation which means more choice and quality of life for the consumer :^)

Japanese cars were heavily limited in the 70-80s because american automakers can't into small economic cars and believe that the US market will pivot to these kind of cars. It never did
I don't think US market will pivot to EV

That'll be $45k plus tip for your base model Ford, sir.
>It's MAAM!!!!
>>
>>541955099
Yes, Spain has a similar deal.

And with EV's it makes a lot of sense because the cheap Chinese batteries is what makes them cheap so you import the Chinese battery pack and build a car around it.

ok then let me use slaves then too.

>>541954823
Car factory workers in China get paid well, typically more than factory workers in other industries giving them the ability to live a middle class life in China. China has the world’s largest middle class, the most high net worth individuals, and the largest market for luxury goods out of any country. They’re not slaves.

Except it's not a free market, but a centrally planned economy. This whole attempt to ban Chinese cars is ironically another example of the government and their communist leanings, just like how they forced the sale of Tiktok to a Jew.

The oil crises made Japanese cars popular because they were more fuel efficient than most American cars at the time. The economy cars at the time that were US made were real pieces of shit also, especially in the 70's,
>>
>>541955343
>and believe that the US market will pivot to these kind of cars. It never did
Because of "environmental" legislation essentially banning mid sized cars, limiting Japanese cars to the tiniest and shittiest models.
EV's will be harder to ban and eventually everyone will want one because they are simply better than ICE cars.

What brands of car does China even make? I know Korea and Japan both have brands but I've never heard of a Chinese-owned brand.
>>
>>541954083
>America, land of the free.
>>
>>541955826
They have dozens of brands. They're all the same garbage under the hood.

t. made the mistake of buying a chink car, regretted it immediately after two engine faults within months of purchase
>>
>>541955826

BYD, the world leader in electric and plug in hybrids, the one in the fuckin' OP pic.
>>
>>541955826
>What brands of car does China even make?
I think BYD, NIO, MG, Polestar and Xpeng are the main ones sold in the west but they have over a hundred brands at home.
>>
>>541954083
The entitlement of US automakers is unreal. If they can outsource jobs to China and other shitholes to pay less, than I should be able to buy a Chinese car to pay less.
>>
>>541956018
>They're all the same garbage under the hood.
No they're not.

NIO for example is very different.
They have battery swap stations so you can swap a discharged battery for a charged one in 5 minutes instead of having to charge.
Not a fan personally but clearly different from what others make.

MG is a bit shit I think (and mostly aimed at Asian markets) but BYD and Xpeng make decent cars for the money.
Polestar seems overpriced, probably because they pretend to be Swedish.
>>
>>541956175

Around here like every 4th or 5th car is a Tesla. I have no idea why you think the average commuter wouldn't want a car with a lower maintenance burden and less expensive energy.

According to Google Gemini these are the Chinese automakers and the rough number of consumer passenger vehicles they make each year

BYD Auto: ~3.02 million vehicles per year
Geely Auto: ~3.02 million vehicles per year
Chery Automobile: ~2.8 million vehicles per year
Changan Automobile: ~2.5 to 3.0 million vehicles per year
SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle: ~1.9 million vehicles per year
Great Wall Motors: ~1.23 million vehicles per year
GAC Group: ~1.1 million vehicles per year
BAIC Motor: ~900,000 vehicles per year
Dongfeng Motor: ~850,000 vehicles per year
FAW Group: ~750,000 vehicles per year
JAC Motors: ~500,000 vehicles per year
Li Auto: ~450,000 vehicles per year
Leapmotor: ~350,000 vehicles per year
Seres Group: ~330,000 vehicles per year
NIO: ~326,000 vehicles per year
XPeng: ~160,000 vehicles per year
Xiaomi Auto: ~150,000 vehicles per year

>Never heard of any of those.
yes, your Government and US Big Auto make damn sure you never will. Not sure wtf the carcos are demanding a ban for, there`s already a defacto US ban on chinkmobiles with 125%+ tariffs. And manufacturers like Polestar who started out Swedish and also built cars in the USA got backdoor banned from selling in Murica altogether (from 2027) for `using chink software.` Its a protectionist racket.

They are inevitably going to arrive at the us one day
Better to have them have a soft launch(non state owned brands like nio geelys other brands like Zeekr or leapmotor(which is minority Stellantis owned)to enter us with factories built there over next us president doing a 180 and allowing to enter the market exporting them en masse
>>541954556
İt's basically an open secret that most Chinese car companies are state backed(there have been rumors that our state backed brand togg is being operated with massive losses with 2 of the companies that own it planning to sell their stakes to government and Turkcell)with some of them flat out owned by them like dongfeng>>541955099
Wasn't there rumors that prior to the polestar shitshow that trump himself was open to the idea
>>
>>541956998
That made zero sense considering Volvo makes the ex90 which is basically the same car but 3 row

>simply better than ICE cars.
I do love electric power for propulsion, but god damn these motherfuckers be doing the absolute maximum amount of effort to make EVs lame, gay, spyware/malware/jeetware garbage, that don't work half the time you need it to work.

EVs would be a god send if anyone just slapped 4 motors, a battery bank, and the charging hardware into a car body with basic bitch steering and analog gauges. Holy fuck would those fly off the shelves. I love my electric mower for this exact reason.

BUT NO, FUCK YOU CONSUMER, HAVE SHITTY CAMERAS ALL OVER WATCHING YOU, WITH GLARE TABLETS MAXIMIZING SUN INTO YOUR EYEBALLS, AND FUCK YOU I UPDATE WHEN I SAY SO, NO CAR FOR YOU. And I explode in winter and in water!

Until some new startup breaks in and shakes shit up with a "Just EV", the ev market will be fake and gay. And also why China has everyone scared, they probably have Just EV quality cars. That would decimate the US immediately.
>>
>>541956514
For all the maintenance ICE cars have, it will always run for me and has no goy humiliation rituals built in. And hybrids don't deliver on their promises (we've owned some, they don't deliver).

I was real close to getting a battery EV ego made, shame it wasn't road legal. I really want one with simple controls, replaceable batteries, and is road legal.

You hear that EGO? I will drop the money on you the second you make something I can drive to work that handles like the rest of your shit. 4 wheels preferred, I don't want a separate license.
