American made under Toyota badge. The bill and tariffs screws over GM and Stellantis who moved most of their operations in Canada and Mexico and highly benifits companies like Toyota that make most of their most popular models in the US. American cars are great again, American brands (not Ford) will die
>>28546090 (OP) >American cars are BACK
Does that still include the mandated killswitches and breathalyzers coming to every single vehicle within the next year or two?

Some of the first Soviet-made heavy duty truck designs after WW2 were directly based off of American trucks due in part to the Lend-Lease Act. Although not an exact copy (the 124-based Ladas weren't "exact" either), the ZIS-150 for instance is directly related to the International K-7.

The whole of Soviet auto industry is build on ford designs and if memory serves, Henry Ford himself went to Russia to help get local production started.
The Ford AA truck was the first automobile produced in Russia, followed by the Model A
But all the best fords are british I don't want mexcio canadian fords. I want british fords built by Mr. Mohamed. Fucking president dump and his tariffs.

Why the double suspension at least on the rear wheels? Is it more effective than just one? If so, why don't new cars do that? Or is it for redundancy while rallying, in case one breaks?

And the lane assist, and the always online functions, and the computer network that breaks the entire car if a tail light goes out, and the ridiculous emissions equipment, and the plastic radiator hoses, and the lack of rust prevention, and the 97 airbags, and..................

American cars (pre-2010s) are a pretty good value. You can keep a chevy on the road for like $50/year in parts. Itll break all the time but its no big deal when it does
>>28546090 (OP) >great american cars again >some old russian shitbox in the background
they are making this kind of shit on purpouse i'm sure of that now >>28546354
the only decent ones were the panther bodies and a few trucks everything else were absolute junk there's a reason they needed bail out
>>28546118 >make Ford probably more competent now
I'm thinking that Ford is probably done as an organization. It's always needed a strong Ford in charge and none are in the wings. Further, the Ford family seems not to care about the company beyond it being a vanity bauble. No doubt most of their money now comes from financials instead of Ford Motor.
A strong steward like Mulally can get the company back to good but it can never be great without a pompous, vain, complete asshole Ford in charge.

lend lease was a wartime measure. Italians (and several other Euro car marques) licensed their designs decades later to try and open diplomacy with the Soviets in direct defiance of American geopolitical policy

trve. companies are ruled by MBAs who only know how to cut costs. each year costs drop, inferior products are released. https://youtu.be/mNnKCEnwp6c

American cars are too big for international markets. And Americans are too poor to buy new cars. These are luxury products for rich retards at this point. The only cool car that is made in America is the one ripping off the superior K car design from Japan, and it won't be on the market for years.

Does Trump know hydrogen just benefit cleaner alternative fuel? Biomass (bronze), natural deposit (white), and nuclear (pink) are example. >>28523217
>>28546096
Literally wrong tho. GM is more beholden to the US than any other brand, they account for the plurality of American auto industry jobs. GM has more US factories than anyone else not to mention engineers. Toyota slaps shit together in the US is not the same. Also, fuck yourself boomer.
>>28547912
the GOP is bought out by the fossil fuel industry, they would never consider anything like hydrogen. thats even a tough ask for the democratic party
>>28546090 (OP)
Thank you based Trump for destroying the American auto industry and making Americans so poor that they can no longer afford disgusting crossovers and SUVs. In ten years time, we will have our state-mandated RWD shitboxes.

Nothing is "back"
Drumpf us a retard AIPAC puppet
We are so fucked.
Even as a hardcore conservative I can see it plain as day.
This is just another spinoff of nightmare clownworld

Automakers COULD scrap the retarded emissions shit, CVT disposa-trasmissions and the idiotic auto start/stop garbage and actually make reliable vehicles - let's see if they do.
What this is ACTUALLY going to do is make every car thousands of dollars more expensive. >Spend hundreds of millions onshoring a dozen different levels of manufacturing or wait 4 years for everything to get undone by someone with an IQ above room temperature
It's not a difficult decision. If it was a gradual transition, this would be a slam dunk, but he did it the absolute worst possible way and now everyone's just waiting him out.

Australians and South Africans bought American cars in droves. their respective governments had to ban them to force people to buy Japanese imports instead.
