Rumorpile: Next Z4 To Be More Dynamic

If there was no tariff on Chinese cars, I think by 2050 GM and Ford would be done.  It would take the Chinese companies 10 years to build factories and dealer network, but once they had that and cars were flowing in, the domestics would be screwed.  GM has a few winners at least like the Trax and the Yukon/Suburban that are segment leaders, a decent EV line up.  But not offering car play, having some hit or miss quality vehicles, some lackluster stuff like the Equinox and Blazer, etc, there is enough for the Chinese to exploit.  Ford would be easy to put away, they rely on fleet and commercial sales, if Chinese come in with low prices, business buyers who care about the bottom line will buy them.

Interesting read, seems ford is looking for another cheap way to make money without actually investing in engineering. Ford gave up on beating China on batteries and cut a deal instead Ford clearly is giving up on EVs as it looks to commercial battery packs for storage to make money. They are giving up on being a leader in the Auto sector. Wonder how Henry Ford would have felt about this, also it does rais the question, how long till Ford as an Auto company is dead. Trucks, a few SUVs and falling farther behind in all auto fronts tells me Ford is not a stock work investing in.

Interesting read. We're on the eve of Trump's final reckoning | Opinion Interesting aero car for sure. Wonder how much of the tech and lessons learned actually make it into a real auto. Renault’s 626-mile EV proves bigger batteries were never the answer Idiot47 is clueless to reality about todays costs. Trump says tariffs made America 'rich, strong, powerful and safe,' but leaders across the US say households are struggling. Here’s what the data shows

Sad that corruption is the new norm now in DC. State Dept. 'not functioning' as staffers get sidelined for warning Trump is breaking law

Yes, Ford pathetic quality control and small thinking has hurt the company, not helped it. Rather than step up their game to compete, they want easy money with minimal effort. At this point, Ford has done nothing over the last 5 to 6 decades that makes me care anymore. GM will not support AA/CP and would rather take your personal data and sell it for profit to 3rd party companies. As such, GM and Ford might just end up being out of business by 2050 if China gets into the U.S. market.
