      Wrong. US manufacturers have effectively been shut out of China. But not before they made investments that China basically stole.

          I worked in the government for a bit, national park service if it matters, we were only allowed to use US made vehicles.

          Constant recalls, constant breakdowns, overall unreliable. These were all vehicles that were less than 5 years okd

          I have a 2007 toyota today that refuses to die and has barely needed any work. I’ll probably have it at least another 3 to 5 years at this rate.

          American cars are shit

            American capitalism has rendered companies incapable of producing anything that’s not crap at a scale because they need to maximise profit at all costs, while quality doesn’t mean shit. Every company is Boeing.
