        Out of the American big three, I have the most confidence in Ford. I’ve worked with engineers at all three, and the ones at Ford are the ones that I felt were most compitent.

        That being said, my next car will probably be a Toyota or a Subaru. Both way better than the American OEMs.

    • What’s confusing is that some great auto brands from Europe are under Stellantis (Peugeot and Citroen at least)

      And they’re actually not doing a shitty job in designing or selling their vehicles. It’s mainly the Chrysler brands or basically the US brands under Stellantis. I seriously hope the shit happening in Chrysler doesn’t come trickling down to the other brands

        Peugeot and Citroën have their own issues in Europe (and technically in America) with the recall of car due to defective airbags.

          They’re good for longevity, but they’re bad for quarterly profits. In the US, we care much more for the latter.

            That depends on the business culture and how good their advisors are. And also the size if the business matter.

            But yeah generally angelosaxton companies who have a mangement structure that’s way more in depth than it needs to be fuck these things over
