What is the general consensus on American cars ?

>>28692221 (OP)
They are too good for us ,we don't deserve them

>>28692221 (OP)
They're comfortable relatively speaking

>>28692221 (OP)
I like them and would like to see more.

Would be nice if they weren't built by Americans.

Large, heavy, consume too much, and aren't wanted in other countries

>>28692243
Well they're mostly built by chinese

>>28692221 (OP)
The price advantage they have over their Euro/Jap competition is nonexistent outside of North America. Without it, meh.

>>28692264
The only cars that even have a price advantage are the sports cars and it’s entirely due to non American brands simply choosing to charge more. Otherwise, other countries’ cars are cheaper in America, especially Europe where you can get bmws and Porsches for cheaper than in their home country despite being imports.

America is just the freest auto market.

A base Carrera is (in USD) 172K here, compared to 130k in the US. A GT3 is 250k here, compared to 230k there.
An M2 is 87k here, compared to 67k there. Admittedly, we have a higher base trim, but it's mostly just feature bloat. An M4 is 115k here, compared to 90k there. Largely the same spec.
Meanwhile, a Mustang GT is 60k here, compared to 47k there. Criminally, it's auto-only now with the S650.
A C8 3LT starts at 125k here, compared to 84k there. A Z06, if you can manage to get one, is 210k, compared to 120k there.


We do not have displacement or co2 taxes here.

Bloated inefficient vanity toys. Like >>28692247 said.
And I really want one.

>>28692221 (OP)
Some good some bad. Revolutionary, I know.

>>28692221 (OP)
Oversized and poorly built cars for fat boomers aka average Americans.

>>28692221 (OP)
Ford > *

Good when efficient sports, offroading, towing. Bad at everything else

>>28692247
finns love them
>>28692251
no make after 1997 matters globally unless you are a fag or something
>>28692330
fag in question as if we would defend a caddilac
>>28692431
our worst cars are better than anything the nips and niggergermans put out

Hemi rumble and go fast. Hemi also suck up much gas

>>28692221 (OP)
As with everything, "new bad, old good," but only more extreme. An american car from the mid 60's is a perfectly reasonable, albeit unusual, daily driver, at least for the enthusiast, while euro cars from before the mid 80's with acceptable features like power brakes and AC are either exceedingly rare or expensive

they're good grocery getters

Anything that says "made in america" on it is gonna be dogshit

Disposable garbage,they literally invented and openly practiced planned obsolescence

>>28695523
you're brown

My first car was an American made, before that I would just walk everywhere, 6 months after driving that car I gained like 7lbs

>>28692234
This, American interiors are the best.

>>28692221 (OP)
Americans are the only ones who understand what it takes to build a perfectly comfortable car interior. My Japanese and German cars usually have tiny cupholders unfit to hold a large soda/coffee, for instance. I was just reflecting upon this when driving my new 99 VW Passat. Americans don't overengineer stuff like the Germans to be overcomplicated. For example, my Passat doesn't have a trunk release button, The seat spine is controlled by a knob, so it takes an ungodly amount of time to raise or lower the seat to/from a sleeping recliner position. The tachometer numbering is really weird (RPMx100 for some reason), the fuel gauge labelling is also retarded, with 1/1 instead of F and 1/2 specified like I couldn't tell already. It beeps at you obnoxiously when you're low on gas. The door lock doesn't engage manually, so you always need to use your key to lock it whenever you get out of the vehicle if your key FOB is dead. The armrest storage is designed in a really dumb way. So is the front console storage area. Also, you can't get anything you drop under the seat out, unlike my old 99 Corolla which has none of the problems listed above. Meanwhile, American vehicles have spacious, comfortable, functional interiors designed with the driver in mind. End of rant.

This isn't true. Germans invented planned obsolescence, and pretty much everyone practices it now. I would argue that American cars are pretty easy to work on, if you can forgive the fact that they're not metric.

>>28692525
This, although I kinda hate nu-Ford as a company

>>28692221 (OP)
Absolute junk, chunky, trashy, and poorly made.

>>28698314
Are you talking about BMW?

>>28692221 (OP)
They're kind of alright if you don't mind the shitty fuel economy, trash interiors and having no spares on this continent.
There's one Dodge Magum SRT-8 (one US car i might consider) for sale in my cunt and they want a ridiculous price for an 18 year old 70k mile family wagon. Basically, you have to really be an enthusiast/ Ameriboo if you want to buy into and live with US cars here.

>>28698346
>trash interiors
American cars have the best interiors

>>28692247
Sweden, Norway and Finland are crazy about old American cars.

"american cars" are hardly american. theyre mostly made in mexico and canada.
Aside from the muscle cars and trucks and body on frame SUvs the rest are just international goyslop products

>>28692221 (OP)
i own one, its great.

>>28698272
you gained 7lbs because you stopped walking everywhere, not because your car was American.

>>28692247
He asked about American CARS anon.

>>28692221 (OP)
i absolutely love some of them due to their sovl and v8 but they are actually all trash and buttold tech mass produced to chinese levels of tolerance and quality control. they lack competition, they make cars for the american market and thats higly closed off and regulated away from importing much so an american customer cant for example compare an f150 to a hilux, thats just not an option. he will buy the f150 and think thats how trucks should be. but when such truck is exported here and we can compare them its not that good... its great but not as expected, no diesel option, would probably buy hilux over it...

>>28698338
No

>>28699118
>based on mercedes platform

pick one

my smog era car goes a 150mph and newer nip/euro cars have all rusted into the ground.

Burned by the hubris in 1970s and haven't really recovered since, but do have the occasional hit

>>28692221 (OP)
They're mostly ghetto as shit. Mostly

>>28692330

Why's it so fucking ugly then?

american car are pretty bad , only chinese and russians make worst cars

>>28699999
checked?

>>28699689
yes

>>28692221 (OP)
they're like an ugly spastic child, only a mother could love. Americans are the mother in this scenario, their cars are the spastic child.

They're just corner cutters. compulsive corner cutters. Always have been.
They don't innovate or change. It's always some 6 liter motor with 300hp or the interior is totally cheaped out on or it's got some gay contemporary take on 50s 60s style. Like really the only USDM doing anything worth note is Ford and they're heavily UK/JP

>>28692221 (OP)
>What is the general consensus on American cars ?
For old one:
Wort Liter/HP ratio ever see on earth like V8 7L 197hp
For more recent one:
Muh V8
Cant turn
Heavy
Square box
Bad chassis

>>28699689
Weird, you described them perfectly

He'd end up stranded in the middle of the desert in a broken down car.
American cars were made for long distance rides, hence the size, engine and above mentioned comfort; european ones, for short distance and old towns.

>>28703656
Not an American car

I've had to do a major service on my 2019 expedition for three weeks in a row. And there's an oil change any day now.
That said, it is a comfortable ride, and it is getting near 100k so you have to expect some stuff to wear out.
