I thought as a publicly traded company their biggest responsibility is to make as much money for shareholders as possible
>>543834141If most Americans can't afford your product and most wealthy Americans prefer luxury alternatives, how are you supposed to make shareholders as much money as possible without trying to appeal to affordability?
>>543834141This is just reactionary panic because nobody is buying 100k trucks
The only car they make is the mustang. Ford is a Truck and Truck accessory company.
>>543834141>Is he right? Does Ford really have a responsibility to sell affordable cars?No. Yhe Dodge brothers sued Ford for exactly that almost 100 years ago. Legally there only responsibility is to their share holders, it Americans or making affordable products
>>543834255this kekthe auto transmissions and ecoboost engines they introduced 15 years ago killed their reputation and small car sales when they were right up there against other manufacturers in this segment
>>543834141>make basic fucking carsRoll up windows bare fucking bones.Holy fuck stop with all this retarded shit
>>543834141>coes never lie to the public
>>543834141If a major CEO has to actually say this out loud than we're later into late capitalism than anyone could've imagined.
>>543834506>>543834897They need to bring back the crown vic. v8 up front, easy to repair and maintain, sinple and elegant.
>>543834141>I thought as a publicly traded company their biggest responsibility is to make as much money for shareholders as possibleIt is, this is where they came up with the idea of replacing the timing chain with a rubber belt submerged in oil, and It takes out most Ecoboost Engines before 100k miles, its so bad the Federal Government got involved.
>>543834897The don't even need to roll down, just put them on hinges
>1>post>OPFaggot thread
>>543835793Just leave a pile of sand in the car that you can forge into glass if you want to
>>543834255I miss cars.Like ACTUAL cars.Not the unrepairable shitboxes being sold today.
>>543834141if they dont want a revolution all of them should be thinking about affordability
>>543835120Yes, any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
>>543834141Yes. Ford should sell the equivalent of the Volkswagen beetle. The Maverick truck is pretty close. They should (and probably already do) get gov subsidies for this.Basically just do everything Hitler did (and some things he was accused of, but didn't) and things will be fine
>>543834141Overturn Dodge Bros. v. Ford. That's ground zero for a lot of this evil shit.
>>543836613>the Volkswagen beetle. The Maverick truck is pretty close.the cuck truck, or the you will eat the bugs truck
>>543834141The stockholders will insist that his only responsibility is to make the statement. Not to actually do it.
>>543834141How many bailouts have the American Taxpayers given this faggot family?
>>543834255Same with Chevy. They axed their sedan line. BULLSHIT
>>543834141No, they are a private company, not state owned.But such lip service is nowadays required to improve your standing with WEF and BlackRock and become eligible for investments.
>>543834141>I thought as a publicly traded company their biggest responsibility is to make as much money for shareholders as possibleShareholders don't get a dividend if the company goes bankrupt. Henry Ford pioneered the living wage because he wanted his workers to be customers, too.
>>543834141That's what Dodge made the courts say, but Ford itself never said that.
>>543836921Look up the proposed logos for (((Dodge))).One of them was a Star of Remphan [David].
>>543836776That's because boomers only like vehicles that look like a fat-ass bubble-but roller-skate, and only in the color grey, and it needs a plastic fisher price bumper with loads of electronics in it that costs $2,500 when it bumps something and cracks.
>>543836552>>543836776>in relationships, females make the majority of larger purchase decisions such as cars>cuckovers become the most-purchased type of vehicle
>>543834897automatic windows are not the problem you fucktard boomer wannabe zoomer faggot.god you fucking retarded zoomers just repeat shit you hear with no idea what it means.
>>543834234Ford f-150 is the most popular luxury car in America
>>543834255MY TRUCK BETTER BETTER LOUD FERD NO GAY EV CHYNA BATTERY IPAD ON WHEELS WHOOSHIN AROUND TELL YOU HWUT
>>543834141>I thought as a publicly traded company their biggest responsibility is to make as much money for shareholders as possibleUh yeh dumbass how is Ford going to sell cars if people can't afford them? They aren't a luxury brand. They are a shitty discount car company skating on their past and lying to broke MIGA flyover rednecks about being American made.
>>543837743Nobody outside China makes an affordable car, that's why everyone who buys a new car gets a loan and the bank owns it instead
>>543838060Must be nice to have a country who has no military just sitting on your ass giving each car a -20K USD credit so you sit back and win.
>>543838060>first of allAffordable ≠cheap in corpospeak. Americans have already accepted the fact that they will have to beg some jew for the privilege of paying him interest to buy a car. They can still technically "afford" it though. >secondNot everyone is a jew bank loving nigger like you. 17% of new cars and 63% of used cars are purchased without a car loan or lease. Lots of people actually live within their means.
They should be affordable. They're cheap plastic crap that crumbles like a beer can when it bumps a shopping cart.
>>543838060>Nobody outside China makes an affordable car
>>543834255Cause they make good trucks and leaned into it. Everything else was mediocre and replaced by the f150.
>>543839289>17% of new carsSo someone buying a new car is almost 400% more likely to finance it than to buy it themselves, very affordable
>>543834141Ford's only duty is to jew you.It's settled law.
>>543834141affordable in both purchase price AND in maintaining it.
>>543834141No, their job is to make a product that the most Americans possible will buy. The price is set by the customer
>>543837482Thanks for proving you are a total faggot.They need to push to dereg this retarded shit and bring back simple vehicles again. Its that simple. >>543835120>vics are the goatI have a 96 f250.Basic ass truck.I love it
>>543834506My Raptor R (supercharged v8) is awesome. We will see how the 10 speed tranny holds up.
>>543834141USA wait for a year more, you will get a 10k$ new electric Yugo made in Serbia. You will drive it and you will be happy. It will not have cameras, AI or bullshit but it will drive and it will be cheap.
>>543836661>the Beetle was a racecar capable of hauling a 15,000lb yacht
>>543840198We can't import cheap cars it would bankrupt every use automaker
>>543843219US*
>>543834141Ford needs to return to it's roots, simple and reliable machines built for quality with a hefty dose of antisemitic admixture. Just make a good, simple small truck for 15k, maybe also a 6 cylinder model that can haul 5k lbs for 20k and they will sell a million the first day. A lot of people want a little truck without all the added bells and whistles that chronically break and are ultimately useless anyway. I have farts, I don't need a seat warmer, I can lower the tailgate slowly, I don't need electronically controlled hydraulics lowering it for me, etc, etc, etc
>>543834141It kind of is because they're not geared up to make small numbers of good cars.
