Why are there still American and European automobile makers? The Japanese blow them out of the water with performance and price.

>> No.2368660

because our cars HAVE horsepower and torque

If they still exist, it's because there's still a market for them.
Of course there was a marked decrease on sales, which can be seen obviously with the decay of american cities and towns focused on automobile production. But there's enough demand to keep it alive, as some sort of undead industrial complex.

Market is not rational, and can be easily manipulated. Bloody humans, won't look beyond their noses...

Because some people want more than little bits of plastic with a motorbike engine.

Because Europeans build decent cars and Americans are xenophobic and think everything non-American is inferior which is their downfall.
