are there cultural factors that determine the design and engineering of a car?
why haven't american manufacturers developed cars like the germans? or is that americans placed their engineering emphasis might into space and military advancement?
>military advancement
>cannot win against some towelheads

American cars have plenty of engineering for cars, but it's focus is on different things. and what is "like the germans?" Caddy has been chasing that for almost a decade now.

Corporate culture, and home countries laws have more to do with it than National culture.

>not a soldier
>media writes "CIVILIAN KILLED IN DRONE STRIKE"
while they are right technically, terrorism is a political minefield that prevents decisive victory unless you glass their homeland.

>yeah, that civilian hospital full of children was a terrorist hangout!!
why don't you just leave them alone?

because they don't leave the west alone. they don't even leave their homeland alone.

As an American MechE, it is way easier for me to get a job in aerospace than it is automotive. The US is basically a war economy.

>the west
>not at fault of every major war in the last century
every conflict can be traced back to WW1
>>17310888
WW1 started because some shitty Eastern Europe assassination and drug the Western world into it due to the retarded idea that the developed world needs to partner up with third world countries to help them.

There were tensions long before the assassination. Ferdinand was more of a "final straw".

Why would Americans strive to create expensive unreliable pieces of crap?
