I know American cars suck. :disgust: You act like this is new. I guess it shows how out of the loop you are.

My problem is no one who has the power is doing anything about it. The factory workers are only doing what their told. Maybe if the designers made cars that sold and didn't break down every week, we wouldn't be going the dinosaur. So the Big 3 needs to get their heads out of their asses and fix what's broken.

EDIT: Let's look at my car. It's 1989 Pontiac 6000. The car is 17 years old. Yet I get better than 30 miles to the gallon on the highway and about 25 miles per gallon street, easily out performing Pontiac's G6 on gas milage. To add to that, maintance is relatively easy and cheap. Especially after I got the oil leak fixed. In fact, the mechanic I go to says my car is one of the best he's looked after.

So it's not just that the Big 3 are stuck in the mud. They're getting wrose. When my 17 year old car is a better car than the one in the showroom, it's an indication that there is something wrong.

EDIT 2: (I'm going to keep editting this post until someone responds.) The Big 3 also have not realized that they have to compete with companies OUTSIDE OF AMERICA. They aren't trying to compete to with the asian and european companies while the asians and europeans are destroying them. Seriously, wake up and smell the market.

Can you please choose a better Thread title, Girafarig Magcargo? I mean, come on! Anyway, my dad always told me that European cars were really good, and that American cars are cheap. But I just read that European cars are the least reliable! That's shocking news to me! I mean, European cars are expensive, so...

Although this horse is nearly dead, I think it's funny how TBA cries about how manufacturing is dead in America when Kia just opened a massive auto plant in a town nearby from me.
 
Kia opens a plant. +1. Ford closes numerous plants. GM closes numerous plants. -100 (or...some realistic number...it's for the sake of making a point). 1-100 = -99. Manufacturing isn't dead in America. It's just crawling around in circles in the mud.

Out of curiosity: Is Kia a foreign company?

Yeah, it's Korean.
 
Well there ya go. American companies are dying. Korean companies are getting extremely successful. They're the new German.
 
Interesting how they distinguish Japanese and South Korean cars, but put all of Europe in one basket ...
... but then again, who cares about Europe (without UK), right?
 
Well, there is a marked difference between Japanese and South Korean cars. European cars can usually be bundled together because there's so much overlapping, AND so many European countries producing viable cars.

As for European cars, I've always been partial to Volkswagons, but I'm a hippie at heart.
