More like, until the Chinese weasel their way into the US market with cheaper-than-used cars to undercut the legacy auto makers. 10 years or so, it'll happen. And the big 3 will be begging for bailouts again. That is unless they smarten up and remember what made Ford what it is today.

remember what made Ford what it is today.

American can-do spirit, worker's rights, and throbbing fuckloads of antisemitism.

I don't see that happening. The US puts large tariffs on imported cars to stifle competition. That's why if you look at Japanese cars in Japan or German cars in Germany they're often much cheaper and more powerful than their American counterparts.

German cars in Germany

German cars in Europe also seems to last pretty decently where as American-made German cars apparently keep falling apart after 5 years lol

They're already doing that in some parts of the world. Then when they get sizeable market share, they emulated what the previous car makers do. It's just not an improvement. It's more of the same, only the manufacturer is different.

You know what Ford stands for, don't ya? It stands for 'Fix it again, Tony' hehehe.
