Buy European

And size, and fuel efficiency, and weird measurements of parts/bolts.

They're known for that in America as well, it's just that they're also usually cheaper to buy and to fix when bought domestically. You need to plan for repairs because American roads are poorly maintained.

And yet some people go out of their way to spend a lot of money to import and maintain that crap. Also not just cars. I don't think they realise that "american made" just means shit and weird measurements in the most cases.

Almost all our cars and all our major manufacturers are awful, any American that knows anything about cars knows this.

You're on "buy european", so when you say "our" do you mean Europe or..?

There's a joke in this some where. I'm just not bright enough to pull it off myself at the moment

I've really enjoyed the Volkswagen ID.4 from my personal experience. I've heard that the ID.5 and ID.7 are pretty good as well. I love the design of the ID.Buzz but I cannot really speak for how well it drives and how practical it is.

You thinking of a German BMW i series? They got some decent electric ones.

Another one would be the Hyundai, that's South Korean. While not European, it's an ally and South Korea actually is combatting the fascist terrorists. I'd say that they deserve a prize for that.

(Swedish) Volvo Polestar is also pretty good, seen it a lot here. (That is a bandwagon fallacy right there from me, but nonetheless). It resembles Tesla but is iirc not owned by a fascist.

Edit: another would be Nissan, they got the Leaf. Pretty good too.

As a European, I can assure you I've seen a growing amount of people buy those European cars. Seeing a lot fewer Teslas now and more BMWs, Volvos, Renaults, and so on.

Idk I like my Dacia

Seriously, one of my family members bought a Chevy and I don't think I would wish that on anyone. Constant failures and problems I've never seen a car that shitty before in my life.

The new Peugeots are quite nice, I have a 208 ev and besides a minor issue it's great, despite not having the best range it's still very usable. I would advise against getting any of the gas ones though as these puretech engines are riddled with issues, but that can also be said of most modern European gas cars, because they try all sorts of tricks to reduce emissions and tank reliability in the process.

Yeah. Trump made the US look like an enemy to Europe.

Yes, but that still doesn't change the fact that Europeans would rather buy a Chinese car than a US one.

That they mainly buy European cars doesn't matter.

Double negative equals yes.

in NA, Ford only sells trucks and one car for retiring Boomers.

I don't see Fords that often, they actually seem to be getting fewer overall.

Peugeots, Renaults, BMWs, Mercedes, Volvos, Audis from European factories, on the other hand... seeing those a lot.

And also a lot more bicyclists and ebikes. Which helps the car drivers too, cause then roads are calmer, meaning fewer traffic jams. That's why more bicycle infrastructure and protections for bicyclists, would be good.

He never was a good guy though, he always was an Americaboo (he was born in South Africa). I remember from those earlier years that he genuinely believed the US was the best country. And considering that his parents contributed to apartheid directly... it's not hard to see why they moved to the US; so they could continue harassing minorities. (Except for Russian ones).

When Elon called the guy who rescued the kids a pedo, I thought is was really weird sour grapes because he did it before Elon could make his capsule and be the hero.

But now that I see just how ridiculously addicted to projection right wingers are, and how every accusation is a confession, I begin to worry that Elon liked the idea of being with traumatised kids trapped in a cave in a way that appealed to him in a much nastier way than I realised.
