Americans don’t even like American cars lmao
Yeah, that's been true for a while. I have a Tesla model 3 and it's the first American car I've bought in 30 years. If it weren't for the surveillance capitalism, I'd say it's an an exceptional car.
The whole car world has changed though. Honda used to be great, but they're kinda shit now. Toyota and Lexus are still pretty great for long term reliability. Comfort is great, but driving dynamics are mid. BMW and Mercedes (some of them anyway) drive very nice, but you don't want to own them out of warranty. Most American cars are somewhere in the middle. They've improved a lot since the 80s and 90s, but so has everything else.
Designed by accountants, over weight, over priced and barely last through the warranty and part of the US vehicle experience is signing up for a class action suit because the warranty, dey do nothing.
We haven't since the early 1970's.
