What the hell happened to America's automobile industry?

What the hell happened to America's automobile industry?

american cars.jpg - 1760x2000, 770.86K

It's not limited to cars. Look at everything else.

They became a cartel and conspired only to make the biggest, most expensive vehicles for higher profits

American cars was always inferior to our cars
It is just big, ugly, and bad fuel consumption
I can't think of any products that America is superior than our Japanese products

Jews

Pillaged, raped, looted and left for dead by the usual suspects

Lake mead beatch

safety standards, efficiency regulations, and retarded consumers

They are better at integrating trench architecture into school buildings lmao

The NTSB, USDOT, and EPA
Not even kidding.

It's just a lack of wealth, you see it over here too. Empire-age buildings are grand and use expensive materials. Now we build things out of shit wood and plastic because we have to feed and house ahmed.

retarded consumers

If you're a knower, you know this is actually the most important one. Yes the gubment is a menace, but the declining American mind has brought the laziest and worst taste imaginable. Pic related wouldn't settle for this shit.

And these guys too-
NHTSA

whereas pic related would

Jews

What the hell happened to America's automobile industry?

Always has been.
American industry was always about gigantism and style over substance. You take the same engine and train, make the front grill different and sell it next year with a new color.
You can thank this guy Lee Iacocca for at least some shakeup in the process - thank him for the very concept of muscle cars.

The pickup trucks I see nowadays are the ugliest, stupidest, most oversized vehicular monstrosities I've ever seen. Is a liftkit now a standard? Seriously. Every newer truck I see looks lifted. That on top of the 3 foot high grill being 3 feet off the ground. That fucking thing is up to my shoulder. No wonder nobody can see. The faggots who drive those must feel like women always feel - never being able to see over the hood. I'd do anything to find a pickup from the late 90s to mid 00's. And what the fuck is with the extended cabs? Jesus fucking christ do they even make a two-door option anymore? Why the fuck would anyone want to ride in the backseat of a pickup truck? What are you fucking retarded?

AND STOP PUTTING FUCKING TOUCHSCREENS IN ALL VEHICLES FUCK YOU DEATH BE UPON YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Government over-regulation

Really kind of retarded comparison because you pick any country that was making cars in that time period they look more or less the same as the left and their new cars look the same as the right.

gigantic truck, can't see over the hood

huge distracting screen instead of simple knobs and buttons

shit fuel economy

Safety standards? Efficiency regulations?
lulz okay then.

those same consumers vote and 'consume' the retards ruining things in government. our world is a reflection of our people. ugly world for ugly people.

The Wrangler looks dope senpai
Too bad they charge so much for it

women and boomers making the choices, shaping the market. All vehicles have the human equivalent of narrow shoulders, wide hips and cankles.

Trucks have a bunch of exemptions to laws that apply to cars, so it's easier and more economically viable to build trucks.

Tax trucks to get cars.

Jewish perversion of the American mind and demographic, yes

Cheaper doesn't have to mean uglier

You don't die if you hit something at 40 and in a rollover you don't go flying out. the default operation of a car involves crashing, or at least it does to the people begging for this shit. ride in a vehicle from the 50s. no seatbelts, all steel interior, if you crash you die or wish you did. now, we have safety toasters that jiggle the wheel while you scroll tiktok to remind you that lanes actually exist, and adaptive cruise removes any need for forethought. and truggs from even two decades ago got markedly worse fuel economy than the ones today. Remember, that diesel trugg has two times the horsepower and torks than the one from 20 years ago, and does it using 30% less diesel.

CAFE. Trucks & SUVs less affected by CAFE standards so companies build more of them. Law does exactly opposite of its intention.

The difference is you can afford to make your trucks look dorky as sin because nobody over there has sex.

‘70s gas crisis. After it people shifted their focus on wanting cars with better MPG. Add on safety regulations. So cars become more aerodynamic which why they are more generic looking than gas tanks of the past.

This. American "cars" are truly dogshit. Ford literally only sales SUVs and crossover snow. I was excited for the Toyota Crown but they dumbed it down for Americans and made it a crossover too :(

Try and drove off-road with your toy trucks and come back to me bud.

the person that made this image has never done any real work in their life.

Bend over, bitch. You're living in the century of Chinese EV dominance.

BYD Dolphin.jpg - 1280x960, 200.31K

Cars in the 50s-60s average mpg was in the teens. That was fine before 70s gas crisis which gas skyrocketed and has never come down.

Why would a sane person choose to live in a slave driver proto-McMansion?

so you basically mean it was fine until jews ruined the gas industry

There's nothing aerodynamic about shitty CUVs. Cars are starting to get less effecient than stuff made in the 90s. It's that braindead boomers want CUVs so they don't have to sit low and people with tiny penors who want a big 4 door truck with a tiny 4ft bed.

Translation: "The big truck on the right makes me feel tough, therefore it is the superior vehicle"

I can't think of any products that America is superior than our Japanese products

Nuclear weapons. They've only gotten better since the 2 beta tests.

space for a family and hobbies in proximity to high paying jobs, but it's so soulless and miserable that the kids end up doing drugs

no, the one on the right can carry more, tow more, is more comfortable, is safer, can do highway speeds safely, and fits rural and suburban american roads far better than a kei truck made for tight japanese villages and cities.

cars destroy roads

German cars are superior to yours

That’s true too. I got a generic corolla for my commuter because it doesn’t breakdown and gets almost 35 mpg in the city and 42 on the highway.

can do highway speeds

Towing 4 horse trailer with a/c on uphill.

at 10 or more miles per gallon

Not only is that all completely false, American trucks are also notorious for taking rust damage to the body, whereas all cars in Asia are fully corrosion resistant since there's more salt water in the pacific. If you still want to buy the small penis mobile, anon, that's your right, but as for me, I'm sticking with BYD.

CAFE

Yep. I would do anything for a 2004 or 2005 Tacoma. Hell, I'd settle for an S10 or even an F150 from the mid-90s.

I know not one person begging for any of this shit. It's all special interest groups and lobbyists working for and colluding with automakers to increase control over everyone under the guise of "muh safety". And the manufacturers are able to sell overpriced garbage which won't last a decade. It's win-win for the gubment and the car companies. It's complete fucking loss for Americans who need to drive to fucking work and every fucking where else in this gigantic, spread the fuck out suburban sprawl shithole country.

Fortune 500 corporations get whatever the fuck they, subsidies, tax breaks, and getting away with their shit boxes on wheels killing people. Americans get fuck all. I fucking hate this country sometimes. What an absolute corporacratic shithole.

I can barely tell the difference between those small suvs and all the pickups nowadays. Fake fucking competition for maximum gain. They win, we lose. Always. This shit will be the end of us. By 2050, if this kind of thinking and way of doing business isn't reversed then it's permanent.

youtu.be/Xh07Q0NCITc

Nice quads! How proximate? 30 minutes bus drive? 30 minutes by foot? Any place where you need to drive for more than 15 minutes is too far away. What's with the drugs? They must be really cheap in rural America if even there you have zombies.

(you)
now fuck off

Government regulations and an industry devoted to nothing but safety and efficiency, but these are answers that are too complex for the liberal brain to comprehend.

Why are they all the same color then

Why, insurance actuarial tables of course, insurance being the misshapen form of socialism that it is.

government nannies came in and thought they could make a better automobile than the automobile industry.

compares a 60 year span of car designs to a 10 year span

fuckin dipshit kike

still a thirty mile and two hour bumper to bumper crawl each way to places where houses are twice as expensive. The even less fortunate do four hours each way. The drugs aren't cheap, shit just disappears in the night if you leave your car doors unlocked. buying drugs one cigarette lighter phone charger adapter at a time.

And now it's in the 20s and 30 lmao. WOW big fucking numbers. It's almost like the car manufacturers are colluding with petrol corporations to make it so they all profit as much as possible while making sure the consumer gets fucked over and over and over again.

those 4x4 kei trucks are great offroad, atv tires even fit on them. full size pickup trucks are good too but the size of them makes them a pain to navigate anything but a logging trail.

at 10 or more miles per gallon

And? It's a unit of work? Could you even pull a 1 horse trailer in a kei on flat road?

All of Canada looks exactly like the right photos

the laws of physics would like a word
ICEs are basically at their cost-effective limit of efficiency, there's just too much thermal loss and anything done to fix it will cost too much to be worth it over an alternative like electricity or hydrogen. even then, you're looking at 50-60 effective mpg equivalent, because air still needs to be moved out of the way at 75mph.

I think you misunderstood. 10 is phenomenal in that situation.

our strength

You keep up with that commie gobbledygook and i'll report you to the HUAC.

This is America, motherfucker. The corporations do as they please. You don't like it? MOVE.

YOU WILL CHOOSE FROM A LIMITED NUMBER OF SHIT-BOXES-ON-WHEELS WHICH WON'T LAST A DECADE.

YOU WILL LIVE NEAR AND WORK WITH AFRICAN, INDIAN, AND ASIAN MIGRANTS.

YOU WILL TREAT WOMEN AS MORALLY, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND COMPLETELY SUPERIOR TO YOU.

YOU WILL RENT/LEASE/SUBSCRIBE BUT NEVER TRULY OWN ANYTHING, INCLUDING YOUR OWN HOME (see: property taxes).

YOU WILL DO ALL OF THAT WITH A FUCKING SMILE ON YOUR FUCKING FACE, CITIZEN!

Drive one of those shitheaps on the left daily for 6 months and get back to me.

misunderstood

I did

I drive a Toyota Tundra that's like the size of the F-150 for work because we have to go off road all the time. America's a big place. We have trucks specifically for shipping goods on roads as well.

Isn't that shitbox that was originally Hilux with larger cabin for fatter people and suspension more suitable for American users? Suspension changed to make worse offroad and more comfortable on roads as 90% American pickup drivers are suburban normies never leave paved roads or haul anything with their truck.

I have an idea for Toyota:
Just run cars on nuclear fuel and make them all shaped like cruise missiles - they are the most aerodynamic shape.
The wheels are bad for aerodynamics so put a jet thruster on the back
For crash safety, place explosive reactive armor on the front which neutralizes the impact force from a crash
And program the cruise control for a one-way trip to Tel Aviv

That's a retarded comparison. One is used for work, the other is a family car that can be used for work purposes.

I support deporting all non-whites.

laws of physics

So just arbitrary words and designations made in a vain attempt to control and confine natural occurrences which may or may not happen in this way or that way depending on inordinate number of variables, many of which are simultaneously known and unknown.

lol jesus christ it's like dealing with severely autistic people.

America is such a shit show that the answer to any and all complaints about the size of your vehicle is

I require something that can run over violent protesters if they endanger my children.

The end.

HILUX

It infuriates me to no end that I can't have one of those but somehow American shitboxes are now being driven by some you eurotrash. American corporations DO NOT want the Hilux being sold here. It would take over the market within a decade. Although I could be underestimating just how fucking arrogant and stupid the israel-worshiping, foreign-hating, fake america first traitors who suck off people like Donald Trump and Elon Musk (to own the libs of course) really are. They'd probably just continue to buy "american made" shitboxes out of spite.

But we do have complete retards like this guy who import what is widely considered the greatest truck of all-time only to destroy the fucking thing for views.

lmao, I hope for your sake that you're baiting.

Now do one where the White people become Brown

Have fun growing your own food then because I'm fairly certain you're not going to be the one harvesting crops or slaughtering animals.

We'll get whites or robots to do it. Either one is better than having non-whites in the country.

regulation from bureacraps made it so actual cars were less cost effective since of EV regulations, trucks and the such did not have to fall under that. everyone made cars like trucks to loophole the redtape

Just magically get le whites to do it. Lol okay then.

Yeah like they've magically been doing it forever before the subhumans arrived.

No kidding? That's amazing. I've once seen a le white picking fruit or vegetables by hand. You must live in one of those utopian states i've heard about. Which one is it?

all cars look similar

vs

all cars look similar

stop blaming car manufacturers and blame who is really responsible:
advertising agencies
multi-trillion dollar business that revolves around manipulating the public opinion and they have it down to a science to push as much goyslop onto the NPCs as it can, and everyone suffers for it

I don't know... why does a truck cost $100k these days?

This is the result when you take away men's foreskin.

you aren't driving off-road, though, faggot.

It's not a hard thing to do, only reason it's not done now is because all the jobs are taken by subhuman slaves.

who the fuck wants a white car? I just don't get it. Why the fuck would you get a white car? It's literally homosexual.

fagmobile on a road
you pygmies don't even have offroad
you freaks are comically small, american cars were normal sized for actual adult males.

Correct because they are earning a wage which is 3-4 times higher than they would for the same job back home.

if you lived in Texas or Florida you would understand

Suspension changed to make worse offroad and more comfortable on roads as 90% American pickup drivers are suburban normies never leave paved roads or haul anything with their truck.

Well I drive the off road version. Also you need both because we actually drive more on paved roads than dirt roads, because we drive out to job sites from Texas to Oklahoma, to New Mexico to Arizona even. Obviously between locations, we drive on pavement.

Anyways I'm not a car geek, but from looking around what you said looks inaccurate. The Hilux is a cheaper smaller truck. Has a smaller bed, has a lower towing capacity.

I don't care I don't want them in my country.

I can't wait to move myself from one irrelevant shithole to another only to discover that they are all the same and now I have to pay jews for this retarded horseless carriage I'm riding.

Neat. I don't care what you want. I want to have food. I don't grow my own food. I doubt you do either. Few people do.

I like old american cars

Wdym what happened? Obciously they reached peak of automotive industry. That is what perfection looks like.

Japs can’t make trucks dumbass. Any one of the big 3s diesels will eat your lunch.

so pay for it instead of advocating for a slave underclass

I fucking hate this so much it's unreal.
Greetings from Kazakhstan.

What an abomination that thing is. Just like every other newer pickup on the road I see. I think the Honda Ridgeline might be the most normal looking pickup but even that has four fucking doors.

And what is with the make being spelled out instead of an emblem. Who the fuck popularized that new trend I keep seeing? As if those trucks don't look stupid enough as it is.

shorter beds

four doors

shuts off at stoplights

gigantic grill

lmao no wonder the "fuck my wife plz" thing is trendy now. You people let everyone fuck you over with zero complaints (even if you do complain it's not like you'll ever do anything about it) so might as well let them fuck her too. A nation of sissified pansy faggots. PATHETIC.

cant see over the hood

Sounds like a you problem. Try not being a manlet in your next life?
The reason they’re all blobby and oversized is for safety reasons. Big crumple zones and airbags in every inch of the cab plus 50 sensors surrounding the vehicle to do the braking automatically cause they know American drivers(majority of which are fresh off the boat from some 3rd world hell hole with no rules) would be running people over left and right in parking lots without them.

You're still going to have food after they're gone, white people aren't new to this surviving thing.

i already do pay for it. are you willing to pay much more for it when the only labor left over is le whites because they sure as shit aren't going to do it for anything less than 15 an hour minimum although these days with everything being so fucking expensive it's probably more like 20 an hour. The farmer already has razor thin margins as it is. I'm not advocating for a slave underclass dipshit but none of you fucking retards ever have a solution. You just bitch and complain about something because the people the tv and Anon Babble told you to.

It’s been around for decades fuckin zoomer.

safety reasons

jesus fucking christ this again. yet another federalist bureaucracy shill who doesn't know a god damned fucking thing. clueless cocksucker

Americans do not want sedans period. Probably too fat or old to get in and out so they need the crossover.
Plus every retarded woman thinks they’ll be in a natural disaster movie at some point and wants the added clearance in case they have to go off-roading

People were propagandized endlessly that you must buy a white car to maximize the resale value as white is acceptable to all buyers but if you have a green car, you're limiting buyers to just those who like green. Funny thing is once color started disappearing from cars, the ones with color paint sold faster and for more because they stuck out from all the other used cars being sold.

so you're going to grow your own food then? do you grow your own good now? do you hunt and fish for all your animal product?
Just in case you weren't aware, food (even canned) has a limited shelf life.

It’s called a “house”. I know balkanoids are only used to commiblock “flats” or whatever but in real countries you can get a standalone dwelling with surrounding property.

Kei cars are business cars made for minimizing running expanses.

showed toyota which has an emblem

now shows FORD which is spelled out

Geniuses out in full force this morning.

light utility vehicle tax break

implies all modern cars look bad

They don't. Just as not all old cars looked good.The model-t looked like ass back then and it looks like ass now. Get over it.

ever experience driving in snow? ground clearance and 4x4 are king. Many such cases of morons getting caught in a blizzard or stuck in their car away from civilization and die. All because they thought trucks were for small dicked rednecks.

Growing food isn't rocket science, we'll find a way to do it efficiently.

Don't forget to tell balkanon the best part: WE GET TO NEVER OWN IT BECAUSE PROPERTY TAXES. Tell balkanon the fun thing the sheriff will do if you refuse to pay the property taxes.

this basically. safety standards and tests are very rigorous. they force designers to always use the same basic design because that's what gets the highest scores in the safety tests. those old cool looking cars score atrociously bad in crash tests, they'd never pass. also retarded efficiency regulations which companies try to get around by simply making the car bigger, that's why US cars are so fucking huge.

I love my early 00s avalon. Greatest sedan ever made.
I hate all those small suvs and gigantic pickups. They all look too similar and they are all hideous.

gigantic grill

The grill is plastic too, lol lmao. Bitch costs over 70k and they put a plastic grill on it. Fucking bitch thing broke first time we drove it through some mesquite.

shorter beds

The bed is big, I looked up that Hilux and the bed in the Tundra is bigger.

shuts off at stoplights

I don't know what you mean.

four doors

It's nice we really run out of space in the cab actually. You don't want to put everything in the bed with all the dirt and gas cans and whatever else. We need to bring luggage bags for ourselves, and etc. Where the fuck would you put that?

lmao no wonder the "fuck my wife plz" thing is trendy now. You people let everyone fuck you over with zero complaints (even if you do complain it's not like you'll ever do anything about it) so might as well let them fuck her too. A nation of sissified pansy faggots. PATHETIC.

I don't know why you guys are obsessed with smaller trucks. That thing hauls like a bitch too. My boss had like a 2015 or something version of the Tundra before that, and that thing would struggle a lot with hauling the UTV and trailer, with the new Tundra, you can practically forget you're hauling something sometimes. It's nice being able to get up to speed easily on all our 70-80mph roads and highways.

Only thing I don't like is parking lots, but it's really not even that bad. The motels I'm staying at are full of even larger work trucks with doubled up wheels in the back.

The hell is your r/fuckcars brain on about?

Correct it isn't.

"we'll"

lol no. somebody will, it won't be you. it will be one of your betters. you'll just bitch about it and offer no solutions. like you're doing now.

The problem is this kind of government/corporate collusion is universal and in most countries far worse than it is here. Economic liberty is barely a thing world wide. As soon as an industry gets big enough it gets wrapped into the security apparatus because the tools, facoties, tech, and talent will all be conscripted during war times.
Your manufacturing base is the engine of your war machine. It’s why Trump is imposing tariffs. Offshoring has created a massive security issue with China able to out produce the US and it’s allies combined.

I'm more worried about getting the non-whites out of the country.

I'll let the science people who enjoy thinking about science all the time to handle the food problem.

People usually call it a badge and Ford has one too.

in japan. where their lives are more condensed. the point would resonate if people were advocating for the use of kei trucks in cities, but vans are better due to crime and not wanting to die on a freeway.

you contradict yourself with each and every sentence you post.

I don't want slaves

I don't want to pay people a fair wage for work

blah blah farmer margins (as if raising prices won't give them better margins)

The issue is that you, selfishly, don't want to pay the real cost for your food that someone else grows and harvests because you think you deserve it and that your time spent working is more valuable than other peoples' time. You're just a piece of shit.

Say it with me: J

Tundra is body on frame which usually allows for higher tow rating, the Ridgeline is a unibody construction so that's really an apple to oranges comparison. That Tundra is famous for having the Toyota V8 that reached 1m miles and was still within spec based on tolerances and testing. Toyota bought the truck back from the owner and gave him a new Tundra.

We had a 10 year period where everyone with a headache was given 400 pills of OxyContin and Valium cause ((scientists)) determined it wasn’t addictive.
Lots of blue collar workers got on them since you get various aches and pains from that lifestyle and never got off. Plus their dumb shit kids raiding the medicine cabinet while bored cause they hear rap songs about taking pills all day.

Once they finally realized that oxy was in fact extremely addictive they cut off the supply which forced these people to seek out illicit opiates.

And sometimes we do jobs with 3 or 4 guys, why the fuck wouldn't we want 4 doors?

Oh, yes, Don the Con's Miracle Tariffs. Sure to change everything for the better and is definitely not just another scheme to make sure those people who already have plenty of wealth obtain even more of it.
All the multi-national corporations are going to cease off-shoring and next-dooring posthaste. New factories and manufacturing plants will be built. Americans will have access to high-paying jobs where loyalty matters most.
It's going to be fucking glorious. Just two more weeks and we'll be there, Anon!

They'll eat a gallon of gas per mile too. But yes you obviously need a 5 ton lifted monster truck despite never hauling anything bigger than a grocery bag in your life.

aside from porsche the germans have fallen off hard, and porsche is obscenely overpriced
my winter beater has around 5" of clearance and does just fine with snow tires. biggest problem is other drivers. if you go offroad in snow or you're in an area with heavy accumulation and they don't plow you'll want more clearance but just like with towing shit, only a very small minority of trugg owners do that

most people are faggots

Correct.
But it says FORD you fucking idiot. It's not just a symbol/emblem/BADGE. IT'S FUCKING SPELLED OUT ON THE FUCKING GRILL. Toyota usually has their emblem on the front is my fucking point.

I read one of Edward Abbeys books- very gripping, IIRC…. Kinda like something Ted Kazcynzski would write if he was more into nonviolent sabotage than murder.

As for cars declining in beauty and uniqueness I actually heard a 70’s globalist technocrat speech that mentioned homogenizing vehicles in order to create uniformity of thought and culture.
I believe the speech was The New Order Of Barbarians by Dr. Richard Day.

It’s because it hurts resale. People have very strong opinions about colors but don’t care so much if it’s white or gray.
You basically can’t sell your house if you have any walls or furniture in it that aren’t a neutral color cause retarded boomers will walk in and go “OMG YUCK I HATE YELLOW/BLUE//GREEN” and walk right out as if they couldn’t just spend $200 painting the room a different color once they own it.

I never liked Tundras. Early 2000s tocomas are cool though. Some of the best trucks ever besides the hilux which we're not allowed to have because you know freedom and shit so long as it benefits mega corporations.

Come again? Even unloaded I’ve seen them touch low 20 mpg.

98% of pickups in the USA (and Canada) never go off-road.
We all know this.

That's a bit too excessive to transport your mom

And you willingly drive that. Fucking hell.

Oh look it's another massive fucking screen. The funny thing is they really convinced you that this bullshit is good. You laugh about it but they legitimately conned your ass like they have with so many other people. I always thought Bernays was just a bullshit artists but when a majority of the populace can't even comprehend critical thinking then they'll accept basically anything so long it's shiny and ostensibly nice to look at.

doesn't like parking lots

What a relief then that America doesn't have many of those.

Crossovers are just as popular in AZ and FL as Minnesota. It’s not a snow thing.

My Hilux was built in Japan, thanks.

I'd rather have an intercooled 7.3 running 25 psi.

But it says FORD you fucking idiot. It's not just a symbol/emblem/BADGE. IT'S FUCKING SPELLED OUT ON THE FUCKING GRILL. Toyota usually has their emblem on the front is my fucking point.

And McDicks logo is an M. The blue oval, the font, it's all a part of the logo. If you write out the name, it's no longer the logo.

Nice try, sophist shithead. You won't be picking the fruits and vegetables. You don't operate a farming or ranching business. You aren't offering any solutions. You're just bitching about problems like a whiny cunt. Have fun replacing the migrants with le whites and child labor lmao.

Your post doesn’t make any sense. Take a deep breath.

Oh look it's another massive fucking screen.

It's nice having a big screen with the map on it tard.

The funny thing is they really convinced you that this bullshit is good.

They don't have to convince me of anything. I drove the earlier version and we used some shitty Garmond that always fell off the dash. It's much nicer doing the navigation on the big screen.

It's funny how much you're projecting. You have no reason why you think this or that is bad. You're just programmed from whatever reddit tranny circles you frequent.

I don’t get the love for the 7.3, they are old and archaic. If you are gonna be fucking with older diesels just pay the Cummins tax and have a more robust engine.

AND STOP PUTTING FUCKING TOUCHSCREENS IN ALL VEHICLES

this this this this this

worst shit ever
the highest level vehicles are doing away with them in favour of old-school buttons

so maybe regular vehicles will follow that trend

gluck gluck gluck gluck gluck
keep sucking Don's dick
He'll make it all better. Trust the plan!

solution is to pay american workers to pick fruits and vegetables

REEEE, no, that's not a viable solution and sophistry

UMMMMM ACKSHUALLY DA JOOS RUINED EVERY COUNTRY AND NOT JUST AMERICA

really groundbreaking stuff, anon

I don’t mind them it’s nice to not have a fuckin phone mounted to have a workable gps.

The touch screen only operates the map and the media player. I don't see what's wrong with that. Keep the A/C and whatever else buttons separate, but why would you want to operate google maps with buttons?

If you write out the name, it's no longer the logo.

You're an autistic midwit who is completely wrong. The logo is the logo (and there can be multiple logos), spelling out doesn't matter.

The only case you could be correct is a monogram which is by definition a single character.

Lol second time today I wrote the same post in tandem with someone. These faggots probably don't even have a license lmao. They're like those gun fags on Anon Babble who've never even shot a gun before trying to share all their opinions and expertise.

You're an autistic midwit

lmao at the projection. You're just wrong, the Ford name spelled out by itself is not the logo/emblem/badge.

Nah they are just nice? If you don’t like them you can just hit the off button?

If you want to talk about a stupid car, did you know they make Toyota 4RUNNERS in 2WD? Lol. My boss rented one because he flew out to join us on a job instead of doing the whole long drive, and he rented one without knowing it was 2WD, and sure enough he got stuck right away and he had to get pulled out with a 4WD.

I like the sound of the engine at idle.
I do enjoy the idi from time to time, but that thing is just a boat anchor.
Only really good for beating on, not so much for towing and retaining fuel economy.

Regulation and greed

Google maps is so much better than that Garmin crap. It's saved me so many times doing the off road shit because the Garmin doesn't give you a satellite image. With google maps I can zoom in on the sattelite image and see where their are tire tracks and where they lead and etc on any property.

Regulations. In the 1970s, Milage(Idk what eurofaggots call it, Km/liter?) and safety regulations were slapped on everything. and styling gave way to boring. It kept 'evolving' which means moving toward aerodynamics and and plastic. It can be seen when they try to bring back old styling that meets standards.
Aside: Every few weeks some Euroanon brings up huge American trucks. If they actually cared they would know that it's a direct result of them not wanting to buy American chicken after WW2. Fucked up but true. On YT, there are videos about it, and some guy called the Fat Electrician explains it in a fun way. He wants a Toyota Hilux and finds out why he can't buy one.
Short answer: Regulations are why everything is the way that it is.

I don't see many 35 year old Fords on the road.

I prefer motor vehicles which can be maintained relatively simply and cheaply by myself

I prefer motor vehicles which don't have oversized screens which distract from driving

I prefer motor vehicles which can last multiple decades not just a few years.

I must be a reddit tranny because I like being able to open the hood and replace the headlight bulbs in a couple of minutes all for the cost of a pack of bulbs instead of paying a dealer over a thousand dollars to replace my faggy light bar.

npcs out in full force today i see. enjoy your shitty meme mobile.

the 2024 facelift on the F150 is kinda sexy .

You should only be driving a full size crew cab pickup with a 6 foot box. pic related is the 5.5 box

The even more fucked one is mercedes america lobbying to keep used foreign vehicles out of the US

1. i don't need a visual map when I'm driving, I either map it out beforehand and know where I'm going, or have my phone tell me.
2. touchscreens operate alot of things in many vehicles: ac andheating systems, music, gps, drive mode, etc.
I don't want to have to take my eyes off the roads the adjust that shit.
With buttons i can do it by feel.
if you guys like touchscreens, that's great ---- I just want the option of not having one.

And aside from looking ugly, at this point they look dated af.

no more ecodiesel

no thanks

doesn't understand why americans (who actually live in america and don't just go back to another country after the season is over) would need higher wages

lmao good god

Is this it? The best bait you could come up with in 15 whole minutes? Do better.

i suddenly keep seeing them with fucking lights in the god damn wheel wells and since they are lifted so high those also shine right in my eyes. those trucks are cool but the drivers are dickhead retards

You can’t throw a rock without hitting one here

or have my phone tell me.

You dumb motherfucker, that's what I said, it's much nicer using google maps on a large screen.

2. touchscreens operate alot of things in many vehicles: ac andheating systems, music, gps, drive mode, etc.

In the Tundra I posted they only operate the media and map. Everything else is with buttons.

I don't want to have to take my eyes off the roads the adjust that shit.

They include buttons on the steering wheel to control the media as well.

And aside from looking ugly, at this point they look dated af.

They look ugly but they're functional. I think Tesla's implementation of the giant touch screen is the ugliest I've seen by far. They can do it without looking like the literally glued a tablet to the dash.

Reminder that cars were always gay.

But the truck is way more powerful than whatever your shitbox is. It's even easier to fix a Volkswagon Beetle.

because if you make the cab as wide as the wheels you gain cabin space

tiny inside, hot as fuck when you're driving, not safe in the slightest due to no seat belts and a solid steel interior. drum brakes that don't fucking work, a three or four speed transmission, less horsepower than a jet ski from the 1990s, and leaf springs that will break your ass if it wasn't for mattress spring style bench seats.

I was watching a video the other day and they mentioned screens. Some fuck face shill for the automakers actually had the audacity to claim buttons/knobs are more expensive than screens.

We're to a point where realities are varying to such a large degree that I can't even tell if some people are lying just to earn a living or do they really believe their own bullshit. I just don't know anymore. And that's some scary shit.

in other words

"i got nothing"

lmao thanks for playing faggot

Yeah it’s cheaper dumbass

lights in the wheel wells

that's just nigger tier shit for fake cuntry bros
they're chewing and drinking monster while listening to whatever aural slop the current cuntry division of the entertainment industry is churning out for them.
BASED AND CUNTRY-FRIED-CONSUMER-PILLED

Fpbp
But not only in America, even in Europe is the same shit

Do you know that you can put all this fancy "safety" and "comfort" features in the coachwork?
It's not enough space inside, this is true, but look at the whole fucking world. All these car manufacturers design the same fucking shit. All of these modern cars look awful.
How comes there Is no choice in the world?

This. So much this. The giant computer screen may be a distraction but it doesn't matter because the entire inside of the vehicle becomes one giant airbag as you crash into some dumb cunt trying to make it to work.

Buttons are more expensive. They are still better though because reaching and knowing what you're touching without taking your eyes off the road is invaluable

You dumb motherfucker, that's what I said, it's much nicer using google maps on a large screen.

my phone TELLS me
I LISTEN to it, I don't look at the fucking thing because I'm driving and I don't want to run over you and your son's father ffs>They include buttons on the steering wheel to control the media as well.
that's true, but when i have loaner I can never find them cuz they're not standardized position-wise
a small thing.
your point stands tho
and yeah, the Tesla is the very worst

Oblong lights.

tiny inside

no, ladyboy; ladyboy, no.
go to a vintage car place and sit inside.
tons of space.

Unfortunately screens are going anywhere due to backup cameras being required. They should just put a popup screen on corner of the rearview as I've seen in some older vehicle models.

Take your meds you spaz

i don't want any of this shit, especially on the passenger side. if you need a screen, you can sit in the back like a child and fuck around on your screen

All of these modern cars look awful

There are some great looking cars still being made, they are just not the SUVs. Sedans and stationwagons can look really nice, like the kia proceed, peugeot 308, toyota camry, alfa romeo giulia, audi a6, vw arteon. Half of these are shit cars I would never buy, that they look good imho.

Not made in the US

alfa romeo giulia

I was disappointed when I finally rode in one. So much cheap plastic shit everywhere. It looked cool in photos and I have a hard on for all the classic alfa romeo shit. I almost bought an 80s spider once. It looked as good in person as in photos.

They’re for girls

Actually most of the vehicles are manufactured in the US but that doesn't mean shit considering the vast majority of the parts are sourced from overseas. Don't worry though. With Trumps Tariffs, the corporations will be forced to open new manufacturing plants. US made, US paid. It's going to be great. Prices will lower. More good jobs will increase. Gonna be amazing! Two more weeks and then this place will be a fucking utopia.

Ah, the Hudson Street Locomotive

cars safer than ever

.gov lowers the speed limit and puts barriers everywhere

Almost like the first part was pointless.

So much cheap plastic shit everywhere.

Really sad to hear it, never tried them, but they look very nice and that 2.9 V6 with 510bhp must be lovely. I promised myself I will not die until I own at least one nice Alfa. Almost bought a Brera last year, but it was just too small for a daily driver.

I also like that style of big wheel holes and mini wheels

2085539051.jpg - 2048x1536, 919.46K

new ones are better

Yeah, I still kinda want it as my dream car if I get rich and can afford to splurge on cars. I was looking up if anyone sold an aftermarket metal grill, because the plastic shit looks so tacky. Didn't seem like anyone did, but I'm sure I could fabricate a grill myself then get it chromed.

Fucking cheap bastards, stop putting plastic grills on 70k cars!

new ones are also better

I can't think of any products that America is superior than our Japanese products

I take it you've not heard of the Red Baron

All the nice old buildings in bongland seem to be going green from algae. I don't remember that in the past

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to drive it tho. I'm sure it's fun as hell. I'm still having fun enough in my 2003 Acura TL 3.2l Type S.

I want my car to draw attention to itself

why?

Possibly because it's more fun when you're walking towards it.

I'm buying a 2017 Toyota hilux 4x2 2.7ltr petrol with 115k on the clock for 16 grand tomorrow

What happened is that you like fancy things but you don't like paying to keep them maintained.

When was the last time you repaired your own TV? Oh, wait. You never did. You probably have never even seen a tube tester at the local hardware store.

Based upon your posts in this thread, I get the impression that you have a car or a building.

I want a kei van for local driving.

Shit cars

That's just a washing up bowl full of water. You could even use a puddle lmao

I get the impression that you have a car or a building.

...what?

if this got into a collision with an american car at any normal speed every single occupant would be killed immediately

Jews gained positions of power, start designing stupid cars, and send manufacturing to Mexico.

>I get the impression that you have a car or a building.

...what?

I get the impression that you have a car or a building.

yeah but what does that mean
what is the implication
