Even the biggest patriots, at least on words.

GMC, Ford, and Dodge have all had major engine problems and serious quality control issues in the last 5 years.
It's to the point that it's not worth the risk of spending $50-80k on some new shitbox that might leave you with nothing to show for yourself in a few years. And even if it stays alive past 80k miles, you're still possibly going to wind up with tens of thousands of dollars in repairs and upkeep.
And when you decide it's not worth it anymore, it will be 'worth' 20% what you paid for it as a trade-in. Or maybe 35% if you can find a gullible buyer.

People who buy American cars, which are 100 times more trash than Korean cars, are stupid.

I've been on the market for a full size SUV for my wife to cart the kids around town in. They're getting bigger, and loading their friends in to go do activities, etc, requires a lot of space. Equipment, schoolbags, etc.
So I was looking at a new GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, etc. And ultimately I saw so many reasons NOT to buy right now that I told her we'd be better off waiting a couple years to see what happens to the quality problem. Either that or get a Toyota Sequoia or whatever their version of the full size SUV is. Nissan Armada, whatever. But even then, those things are vastly overpriced for what they are, and there are currently dealer markups making them cost nearly as much as the Navigator - which is supposed to be a consumer-luxury sort of car.
I caught myself seriously considering just going for the Escalade despite the insane cost, just so we could have something reliable.

Because the jew has people convinced that foreign goods are a status symbol, and that status symbols are important to intrinsic worth.

The Ford F150 is the second best selling vehicle in the USA. The Toyota Rav4 just took the number 1 spot this year.
Hilariously I saw a guy in a shiny new F150 stuck blocking a gas station parking lot because his transmission locked up on him just last week.

I’ve only ever bought and driven Fords. German and Asian cars are built with delicate parts meant to break every 10k miles to rack up the expensive proprietary servicing, while American cars are built with straight steel beams meant to last 150k miles without issue and be easily serviceable by any independent 80-IQ mechanic up to 300k miles.

car guys are superficial fags and don't care about shit like that

Muslims are not communists. We believe in free trade. Revolution can support American industry. Henry Ford was a good friend of Shia Muslims.

>>515341675
the car market was supposed to crash like two years ago but niggers keep buying expensive cars on credit

>>515340961 (OP)
based af garage

>>515340961 (OP)
america doesn't make better alternatives than those
nobody makes better alternatives to those german cars
germans make the best cars
without question

>>515342227
i'm not superficial
german cars are so american, that i consider americans that don't like them unamerican

>>515342129

lol

>>515340961 (OP)

I only buy German or Japanese cars because I’m based. Hyundai also seems pretty good now.

>>515342623
I’d rather have a CTSV, vette, viper, big trucks etc rather than blow money on those. Most of those make euros seethe.

>>515341860
Anon you are really dumb. go on any used car website right now
Look for any US brand with an affordable sedan that has more then 200k miles.
Then look up the toyota corolla and see how many are above 200k miles.
American cars are terrible. They have no quality control and spent decades playing catch up with the japanese. Lost all goodwill from buyers in the meantime.

>>515340961 (OP)
German cars are fucking joke now though
American made are better

>>515340961 (OP)
"American cars" are made in Mexico.
"Japanese cars" are made in America.

>>515342734
it's a car

>>515340961 (OP)
Per the Ford vs. Dodge lawsuit back in the day, it is illegal for an American automaker to produce a quality vehicle, every effort MUST be made to fuck the customer (and employees) as hard as possible at all times, so that jews can pump and dump the stock price.

>>515342887
>viper
i wish they still made those. probably the coolest modern american car ever made. and still pretty competitive when boosted. still hangs with boosted huracan / r8s at texas2k

>ctsv
the cadillacs get a pass. i really wish the ct4-v blackwing came with a v8 instead of a mediocre turbo 6. why try to compete with the germans at their game when that alternative is open? but still, pretty cool that they offer a rwd manual sport car today

vettes are kinda meh to me. not that they aren't cool, but there are just better alternatives for that car. just like, consider the m2 in the op. fastest m2 is faster than the fastest c8 vette. that's absolutely fucking pathetic, imo. kind of a disgrace to the country almost

>>515343514
certain cars are more than cars. people that don't get this haven't driven in them

>>515340961 (OP)
pictured are both shit, all the cool cars are from 40-00s.

>>515342887
Don't support Chrysler-Dodge.

>>515344109
what cars from the 00 are still desirable? this is like an old man cope. cars actually just keep getting better. it might be the singular thing that just actually does keep getting better, despite the price increases

>>515341438
Used American cars are great, of the right era.

yes, whites are stupid and easily manipulated

>Why is no one in the US buying American made products?
Other than cars, what American-made products are there to buy? When the cheapest little shitbeater cars cost $30k new, who can afford to buy those? No one wants to be in debt for 7 years with $500/month car payments... that's a goddamned mortgage. And it's not exactly a prime piece of work, either... American cars tend towards junk, and get worse from there.

>>515344748
this is in no way more desirable than a huracan.... nobody would ever pick this over that

>>515344924
same thing. these stopped being the go to texas2k option when huracan came out (use the gtr as an alternative if you want to spend more money and have a less reliable car), stomping all these cars out

>>515344963
I would.

performance is only one aspect to a good car. If performance is all that matters, your tesla awaits.

>>515340961 (OP)
Personally, I wouldn't buy any car built after 2005. They're all over priced cell phones on wheels with serious quality control issues.

This 348 was considered meh slow(tm) even for its day and I would pick it over your blah new cars.

A Civic Type R of 2000 or a S2000 or a NSX or a M5 E39 or anything else from these years
Cars were pretty much perfect back then, it only was pussy and gayification from then on meaning more crash protection (Cars all look the same because of pedestrian protection when crashing), more computers and more bullshit

L car taste

>>515347430
I'm not a jap car guy but I would pick this over pictured OP cars or any of the cars the new car defender has pointed to. He says old man cope, but the scope of decades of cars I find of interest is wide, not some specific nostalgia bit. I came up with what I like searching decade by decade. The only time new stuff gets interesting are the concept cars that never see the light of day.

>>515344509
They were trash. And every boomer giving you an earfull about their one friend who had a "factory freak" can suck it.

>>515349558
You're alluding to performance, to me that's not the allure, it's the aesthetics inside and out, ride, exhaust note. For me performance is a sweet spot, it needs to be fast enough. 0-60 in 0.0001 seconds is over before it starts, I'd rather match performance to the road, the drive, to savor it. "the fastest" is boring, the typical car guy that's all that matters, that and dressing like a wigger, and rambling off the brands of all the components they've added. You can have that, I'll take all that old stuff you don't like.

>>515351095
They ride terribly. No Hotchkis $6k suspension can't fix that.

>>515352324
I know how they ride, they're great. I'd use a 67 chevelle as a cruiser, I'd pick a bench seat and column automatic over bucket seats and stick shift, but upgraded to be able to go highway speeds.

We gave up all our manufacturing infastructure and now rely on asian countries to do it for us. look at american soldering jobs (Schiit) they are worse than the first time I soldered. the loss of manufacturing jobs is just the consequence of corporations killing off small businesses then siphoning all of the money out of the small towns.

>>515346522
Is Consumer Reports data any good? I heard they overly factor in dumb shit to these numbers, like how often the software in the infotainment system fucks up.

Because they have a solid reputation for being value engineered shit.
