US luxury makers keep trying to make their cars unique and stylish but they turn out butt fucking ugly. See Cadillac and Lincoln. Cadillac ATS is the only one I think looks half decent.

Lincoln makes good looking SUVs though.
>>
>>130317865

Because the American car industry is a fucking joke and a corpse reanimated by our government that doesn't believe in capitalism.

Even before that though they were failing miserably. If you want economy/value you go with Japanese cars, if you want luxury, probably European.

I had a 330i E46 in high school. The car was solid as fuck. Nothing rattled when you hit bumps, the inside was designed like a cockpit, molded to the driver. American cars in the price point of German cars are often shit. Like sofas on wheels. No tactile road feel from the steering wheel. With the BMW I could tell what the surface of the road was like based on the feel. Unlike American cars, the front tires were very far forward, not tucked way behind the front of the hood. The leather was thick and didn't crack like every American cars nasty poofy leather. You just can't beat the feel of the experience without buying a modern muscle car priced well above $35k.

American cars under $35k are or were unresponsive pieces of garbage that often blow transmissions at 60k miles.

Well foreign militaries and United Nations prefer Japanese cars like the Toyota Land Cruiser

Also, in an Apocalyptic Setting, having a Japanese car is better because you have a higher chance or successfully scavenging for car parts from abandoned cars.

For example, say you have a Camry after the world ended and you managed to survive. Chances are you can find an abandoned Camry nearby your location as opposed to a abandoned Cadillac.

because corporate lazyness and unions created a situation where american products become lower quality and higher priced all while avoiding the need to pay to innovate...as most of that money goes to the very top and the union workers who are too lazy to put things together properly and efficiently.

America does fine with ultra high end products where the price of labor and development is justified however. Just we cant be owners of the bottom end cheap mass produced items when you need to pay a guy $75k a year to screw in bolts all day when a chinese slave will do it twice as fast for $500 a year.

It's as simple as that, even though many people can find other justifications such as quality and design. It all boils down to prestige. That's why a Hyundai Equus will never threaten Mercedes.

USA cars waste too much gas for some fucking reason, besides that, I don't see any other real difference between their cars and others. One of my neighbors recently bought a Chevrolet and that think burns gas even when its off, fucking bullshit.

Mazda 323

1.5L and 75HP of fury. It was so much better than it deserved to be. Got it almost to 90MPH one time on a big downhill and thought I was going to die for sure when I hit the curve at the end of it.

When you drive in the mountains or desert, gas mileage is an important thing.

Also, I guess for people who chase tornadoes for a living or e-peen.

the life span of american cars was about 100,000 miles. most never made it. i've had several toyotas that had over 350,000 miles when i sold them. for the money, quality, dependability, the toyota camry is probably the best car in the world

No I went to school with mexicans.
The pecking order for them is as follows:

>accord/civic
many don't graduate out of this phase. Those who don't pine until they can't take it any longer and install fart can exhaust, then lower their car. All bets are off at this point, they will continue to shit all over their cars, if you don't like it- you "aren't an enthusiast".

>WRX
this car was posted on your wall as a boy. you coveted it for a long time because the richest guy on your bloc (bus driver named Juan) owned one. You swore you'd buy one. These are ALWAYS leased and never bought. Installing aftermarket exhaust would violate the lease, so you stick to plastering it in "illest" stickers.

>BMW M Sport
The golden chariot of minimum wage workers. You've spent countless hours stroking the flat brim of your monster energy hat scrolling through instagram liking every M sport picture you see. Then the impossible happens: abuela dies of a coronary. You're left 10k, just enough for a down payment on a new m3. Thank hayzeus. You anxiously puff your vape as await delivery. The last of your money goes toward blacking it out. Life fulfilled , you've made it. You will spend the rest of your years posting 1 pic a day of your car. Until finally, you wrap it around a tree.

Are car dealers in Europe just as annoying and scummy as American car dealers or can you buy cars directly from the car manufacturer in Europe?

Does anyone wish car dealers would just go away and be replaced by the car manufacturer instead?

I like cars. It is something I'm willing to waste money on. Sure, if you don't like cars, I could see being concerned with getting the best milage possible. If that is you, is there a reason you're replying to a thread about cars?...

And, uh, I do know how to put my money to work. If you would like we could post up pictures of our brokerage accounts to compare.

I like cars, trucks to be specific, and Im discussing gas millage and gas price because, believe it or not, thats an important part of having a car. Its not an issue of how much money do you have or not, its simply a basic issue regarding USA cars, they waste to much gas, and if you are buying a car and compare two cars, one Japanese and one American, and the only relevant difference between them is that the Japanese car manages gas better, then you should pick it instead of the American car with inferior gas management.

>m-muh money
>and, uh

Nigger, who gives a shit if you have money to waste on gas for an American car? Its simply stupid if you can have an equivalent car and invest less on gas.

I like small cars, so if I want something that isn't slow as shit, I'd have to look outside America.

I drive a lot and have a long commute to work. Put about 36k miles on my car in less than two years. The money saved by switching to a Prius wouldn't be worth thinking about. It is not important. At all.

The gas is wasted on German cars.

Are you one of those faggot truck drivers who refuse to move out of the left lane even though you are holding up traffic?

>>130330667
And then compare that to gas and maintenance costs. Maybe I've just only gone to dealers who aren't utter pricks, but in my experience, go in, know something about what it should cost, agree to knock whatever off the asking price, wait for him to check with the manager, and drive it home.

Most of the time they're looking to move inventory, sometimes even at a minor loss.

Because America, like Britain, does not manufacture trade goods.

In fact they export much more than they import, but this export are financial services and entrepreneurship which are mostly done within the nation.

Plus, American and British firms outsource their manufacturing to places like China and India, hence they're typically accredited with the exports.
