So... after over a hundred years, millions of cars, millions of workers, and billions of dollars.

America finally manages to make a car that is comparable to European or Japanese cars, but comes from a South-African.

Well done, I guess you weren't happy with how little power you could get out of 'muh v8' so you decided to make a pussy pedal appliance. Instead of a working proper car.

I'm not saying Tesla's aren't good. I'm actually quite impressed that they managed to make well built electric cars on a large scale with very little experience and only after 10 or so years and a couple of million shekels.

It's just that it took America such a long time, and such a large investment of resources and manufacturing to finally make something not only desirable, but actually an outstanding car. Maybe it's because there was much less of a corporate mentality, and billions of dollars from the average ignorant U.S. dweller weren't on the line.

>that is considered good outside of the U.S. and is not a meme car riding off past success.

>meme car riding off past success.

Can you elaborate on what this means? what counts as a "meme car riding off past success"? The mustang is considered a "good car" so is the new corvette. when i look up European reviews and other reviews people like it. do those not count because they are long running names? what about the GTR? is that a meme-car riding off past success because its a long running name? are you looking for a car that has no name shared with anything from the 50s 60s and 70s or in general a car that has no old-currently-in-running name?

Do the people who like the cars i just listed not count? or is this mainly just to impress you and what you personally like?

>>15340962
The CTS isn't related to anything korean or chevrolet. the platform was designed by Cadillac themselves and GM used it to make the new sixth gen Camaro. also people (reviewers) seem to be saying positive things about them.

yes we can buy them and normal and smart yuropean people like me buys them and in generaly we love american cars, all the hate is coming from the poor people with golfs, twingos and japan shit
>>
>>15341019
Mustang's can be good looking, (really old, and really new ones, e.g. 80's 'stangs are hideous), obviously have probably the best promotion and marketing for them (see: countless movies, tv, the appeal of stereotypical american things contrasted to boring european efficiency and regulations etc), and would be fun to drive if you've never experienced American cars, and you get to drive something like a shelby v8 mustang with a shitton of performance parts.

But those usually are U.S. only, and ridiculously expensive. Really in general, Mustangs are great if you get the top of the range one as a hire car, but for the rest of the time, a v6 auto mustang from 200x is really just a surprisingly slow, bloated, badly built meme car. There are reviews (top gear, others) saying how unrefined, cheaply made, and even poorly built American cars (especially the budget performance cars) really are. The appeal is lost when they suddenly need to have an air of practicality or fuel efficieny or reliability.

I'm sorry to push the buttons of every America car enthusiast who will likely be butthurt and scream about how American cars 'are getting better' and how 'german cars are over engineered CRAP, Japanese cars are fucking SHIT and GAY'. But they just can't accept that America's cars are just overrated, and don't live up to the standards set by the American auto industry of decades gone past, and foreign competitors.
>>
My understanding with American cars like the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, ect is that in Europe they're rather uncommon because of all the taxes levied upon them so when you see one in Europe it's pretty special and neat kind of like how we see Supras and Skylines in America.

is this true? I know I've talked to guys who work with classic American cars who talk about how you can almost double what you'd get in the states for a 60's Mustang by exporting it to Europe.
>>
>>15341064
>Top trim = good, else is shit
Applies to every car? You're telling me a Europeans just make beautiful cars at every level? A BMW 325i is some masterpiece of engineering at every level? Fuck no, and an M3 nowadays is hardly justifiable as a performance model.

>Standards set years ago

Mustang, Camaro. Benchracing aside both offer affordable (except for EU, where dangerous assault engines are taxed to hell and back) performance.

They're bringing Mustangs to Australia now too. All the preordered ones are sold out and they're scrambling for parts for more RHD models.

You could have just asked 'are there good american cars?'
instead you've asked about american cars which fall under an increasingly narrow and vague scope for no particular reason.

Yes, there are good american cars. There are also crappy ones. They really aren't that much different from the euros and the japs in the broad spectrum except that they're sometimes less fuel efficient. I think ford ecoboost is on the way to changing all that.

A real point you could make here would be that american manufacturers only offload crap in europe and elsewhere around the world. That may well be the case - as I understand it, californians are fairly upset that they get crappy versions of the cars everyone else enjoys because the emissions compliance is slapped on at the end. Wouldn't surprise me if it's even worse in europe.
It would be much easier to see this point if you would calm down and take break on the buzzwords.

"'Increasigly narrow and vague scope"

Basically, if it's not considered good outside America, then it's purely because the seppo's who think it's good are delusional, and have resorted to "muh domestic" pride, failing to realise that American manufacturers are not the car gods they think they are.

>>15347956
Calm your tits mate. This is actually bait.

But i will answer that seriously. The problem with American cars is not always design, (even though the focus and Fiesta are designed by GERMANS and British in Europe, whereas the Merceds is just BUILT in America. They are not the same thing) it's the quality of materials and build. Workers are never doing the same thing long enough to get experienced, management is changed around to keep people happy, and they often do cleansheet designs from scratch without perfecting old ones. Hence, everything feels like a draft, because there is no knowledge gained from perfecting things over time. In Japanese toyota factories, the workers are almost life-dedicated to utmost quality, and they perfect the same skill over 30 or 40 years. They work on the model of continual improvement, while Americans keep going back to the drawing board every year or new model, which is only good for cars that are disastrously bad in every way.

No fucking shit you delusional fuck. No one is claiming that a base model automatic v6 mustang from the last decade is a great car. You're cherrypicking so hard it's pathetic. There are plenty examples of Mustangs being absolutely phenomenal performance cars and for you to say
>yeah but the shitty old v6 one isn't that good
Completely defies logic

>implying

Your vaunted ford mondeo was designed by a guy from Oklahoma. His name is J Mays, and he oversaw the development of every ford from the mondeo to the jaguar f type.

Who is your design god now?

>muh euro design superiority
Every ford brand design (American and euro, and that means all brands ford owns or owned a controlling interest in, including Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) has come from the direction and needed to earn the approval of J Mays since 1997. So you can take your euro design elitism and shove it up your own ass. Mays oversaw design on the f type, the Ford mondeo, the new focus the new Fiesta, the new mustang, the land Rover Discovery redesign in 2008, the jaguar f type, fucking everything.

How does it feel to know the greatest commercial accomplishments for British cars in the past ten years has come on the back of ford, aka your American overlords, and an Oklahoman?

Eat shit, Eurocucks.

It's not about who owns it or has their name on it. It's who makes and designs it. I know it's an American company, but that doesn't mean it's products that are homegrown should be fully attributed to another country just because the company is American.

In reality, companies don't have nationalities, or national loyalties. They have countries of origin, where they're headquartered or mainly based. The big 3 of America often promote their association with the country, because it undeniably get massive sales. If ford was banned and removed from the U.S. for some reason, they would pick a country, and decide to use that as their new base. Then they would try and sell it with a different badge.

Your point about it being owned by Americans is irrelevant, because it only matter to normies, and your example is wrong. The tundra is not considered American because of it's badge, but in the discussion of a country's actual role in the design and creation of a car, the company owning it doesn't matter, because it's clear that the only good cars are ones that had a considerable degree of involvement from another country. If all the cars that are American only are garbage, then it shows that the Americans are clearly the problem, and not the reason for any success of cars made possible by U.S. involvement.

I'm OP btw.

>>15358746
The reason we have no companies, and partially why we have progressively ceased manufacturing, is because we don't have enough people and money to sustain our auto industry. How many bailouts, recessions, closures and handouts has the auto industry of America had? What about the times when GM closed Pontiac and Oldsmobile because of shekels? What about the tantrums thrown when Japanese cars came in the 60's/70's and caused riots, mass unemployment, and the creation of a nigger infested cesspool that Detroit has become.

Why is it, that as soon as oil becomes scarce, or American kike bankers screw up, or competition is introduced, your car makers go belly up, close/cancel most of their plans, and require millions and billions from the government to keep going?

The problem is America's self-obsession and delusional arrogance. Ever noticed how America's best selling cars have domestic badges, and the rest of the world buys indiscriminately, even if they have their own auto giants? How America has to put their own badge on cars before they can sell them at home (see holdens, opels, daewoos, vauxhalls sold as chevrolet, pontiac etc), how competition is cut wherever possible (foreign cars that are clearly better than American equivalents are suppressed. See the bans of skylines/silvias, chicken tax, limited runs of commodores and utes sold in America)?

Face it. Your automotive industry is shit. You can't make a decent car anymore, and have only been able to pop out a couple of good ones over 100 years and billions of cars made. You are a delusional, nationalist, cuck. You try to justify the shortcomings of your cars by pointing to only American reviews, and situations where American cars had the advantage of a badge or artificially lower price than competitors.

Why do you this?

>America's best selling cars have domestic badges, and the rest of the world buys indiscriminately, even if they have their own auto giants?
this is straight up untrue, on all counts. other countries buy their own cars way more frequently than cars from other countries, and the best-selling cars here are very frequently not american.

i'm not disagreeing with everything you say - or at least i wouldn't have 5-10 years ago - but you're making at least some of this up.

These fuckers with the 3 litre V6 turbo diesel engine are very well liked.

I would know because I'm driving one right now. I reckon it's basically a Dodge Magnum with a 300 face and an engine the US never got so in theory it's not an "US" car.

They sold Daewoos here in the '90s and they were awful. If the Aveo had actually been sold here as a Matiz, they would have had to give them away.

Silvias and Skylines are "banned" because they don't meet federal crash protection standards, not because they are "better". Silvias are just 240SX in the US anyway.

Buicks are the top-tier cars in China.

>China is Buick's largest market, selling more there than the United States. In 2014, General Motors sold over 900,000 Buicks in China, more than four times what they sold in the United States.[49] In pre-World War II China, one in five cars was a Buick[50] Buick is a leading vehicle brand in China.[51]

Also you can also blame Mercedes for the ban as well. Technically eurocucks were the reason for this happening and got butthurt and had to have it their way.
