Why? Some explanations would be nice.

>>15319046
Chrysler is generally lower build quality than the other two.

Ford's current line up is very nice, with a few high end performance models.

Chevrolet's line up has some nice cars, but also has a lot of performance focused vehicles.

>>15319046
>>15319061
To go into more detail:

Pic related (at least in the states) is either a driver of a Chrysler 200/300 or an Audi A4.

Chevy has SS (performance) versions of a lot of their cars, while BMW has M (performance) versions of a lot of their cars.

Ford has some very luxurious models (Taurus to name one), like Mercedes. Both also have some "sporty" cars sprinkled in, but at the top of their line ups are some amazing performance cars (AMG GTS and Ford GT).

>OP is the _________ of /o/

Audi/VAG is definitely GM
I'd say Merc is Chrysler, as they both have history in making luxurious landbarges and crazy powerful landbarges.
Ford is BMW, as they both are large multi-faceted companies that have always been oriented to be 'sporty'

>>15319108
Sorry meant Chevrolet instead of Chrysler lol

>>15319112
But GM is Chevrolet.

Ford EU > Ford USA

Ford USA has only pickups and mustang. They even started importing transit and then even Mexico gets better car, cuz no muh 25y safe box

Ford = Mercedes
Both share an extremely long history in the automotive industry. Both have very few subbrands (Merc has Smart, Ford has Lincoln and had Mercury) by comparison.

Audi = GM
Most known for sticking to their engineering guns (diesel and pushrods). Highest amount of subbrand - all of which never get the resources or permission to exceed the top brands. Will detune or kill everything (Banshee, GNX, Cayman) in order to save their halo car (911, Corvette).

BMW = Mopar
Highest amount of assholes.

GM is clearly Mercedes. Arrogant multinational corporation that thinks only it knows how to build cars and isn't afraid of saying so whenever it has a chance.

Ford would be VAG/Audi. Slightly incompetent at business and builds merely ok products with the occasional flash of excitement thrown in to keep people falling totally asleep.

Chrysler would be BMW. The little guy that once had to try harder and in so doing impressed enough people to make themselves think they'd made it and then rested on their past.

Corvette, Camaro

Ford builds way more performance vehicles than GM.

>"merely okay"
>>15319125
Ford Europe doesn't have the GT so you automatically lose.

>>15319178
>Ford builds way more performance vehicles than GM.
Yes, for now.

Historically, they do that until they think they don't have to and quit. Then the line-up gets bland for a while and people stop paying attention and the process repeats.

In fact, it's just about time for yet another newb MBA in the corporation to make a presentation showing that performance cars are irrelevant to sales and convince some old MBA that it's a waste of money while also being legally dangerous causing the old MAB to defund the performance programs. Again.

>>15319178
>CTS-V
>ATS-V
>Insignia OPC/VXR (sorta)

Gotta at least try to make it believable, man.

Ford has 5 major performance vehicles currently out and they still have 7 more coming. Congratulations, to GM on making 4. And of those 4, 2 of them have over heating problems.

>>15319016
Wouldn't it make more sense to replace Audi with Volkswagen?

>>15319016
Japan time
Toyota = Ford
>arguably most reliable of the 3 (though Fords are still unreliable pieces of shit, still leagues ahead of Chevy and FCA); historically made light AND pigfat RWD sportscars, responsible for 90% of taxis and limos (Comfort and Century-->Crown Vic and Town Car)
Honda = Chrysler
>makes weird shit, has no full on luxury marque under its name
Nissan = GM
>attracts the most benchracers, still offers manual transmissions even on some of their luxury cars, best styling of the 3 (Chrysler and Ford are just garbage to be fair, but the point remains)
Mazda = AMC
>always doing experimental crap, interesting styling, interiors hold up for a very long time, didn't bother to create a new brand for their premium line (in NA anyway, and efini dissolved pretty quickly)
