Why Ford And Other American Cars Don’t Sell In Japan
CNBC:
When it comes to cars, Americans
seem to love the Japanese.
But the Japanese don't seem
to love Americans back.
Japanese brands sell remarkably well
in the United States.
Several of the best-selling automakers in
America are from Japan, and
their products seem to dominate entire
segments in sales and critical
acclaim. Japanese automakers sell so
many cars in the U.S.
that they actually employ vast numbers
of American workers in factories
around the country.
Japanese automakers actually build a third of
all the vehicles made in the
U.S. But the Japanese don't seem
to be interested in America's SUVs,
pickup trucks, muscle cars or just
about any vehicle made by Detroit.
Ford left Japan entirely in 2017.
General Motors keeps a presence there, but
it is tiny — the largest U.S.
automaker sold only 700 cars
in Japan in 2018.
And people are divided as to why
and what, if anything, should be done
about it.
President Donald Trump has criticized the
imbalance, but so have U.S.
automotive trade associations, who
blame Japanese protectionism.
While there are no
Japanese tariffs on U.S.
imports, a number of critics say there
are all kinds of technical barriers
that make it harder for U.S.
companies to sell in Japan.
Here in the United States, when we
set regulations for fuel economy or
safety or communications standards or whatever,
all of the automakers that
sell and produce in the United
States are party to that conversation.
In Japan, it's a much more
closed process for regulatory compliance.
It's "these are the rules and
you will meet the rules."
Japanese producers have input into that
and suppliers, but it's pretty
closed to any external companies that
would be doing business there.
But some industry experts say
that really isn't the problem.
Instead, the reasons U.S.
cars are so rare in Japan, which
is the world's third-largest car market,
have more to do with Japanese
consumer tastes, the abiding if outdated
stereotypes the Japanese have about the
quality of American cars, and the
very different way customers shop
for vehicles in Japan.
It is first important to note
that Japanese brands all but completely
dominate local roads.
More than 95 percent of all cars
sold in the country are Japanese.
Imports make up the balance and
most of those are higher-end European
luxury vehicles and sports cars.
This is partly because the
Japanese have pretty specific needs.
For one thing, space
is incredibly tight.
Wildly popular in Japan are these
so-called Kei cars, which are tiny
vehicles preferred by drivers who have
to thread their way through narrow
streets and crowded cities.
Kei Cars alone make up
40 percent of the Japanese
market and U.S.
automakers don't make them.
Americans, on the other hand, tend
to excel in making big vehicles,
particularly pickup trucks and
large sport utilities.
In recent years, American automakers have
scaled back or even entirely
killed off their own lines of
compact vehicles, which are often still
bigger than their
Japanese counterparts.
In fact, many of the Japanese vehicles
sold in America — from sedans such
as the Toyota Camry all the way up
to the pickups — are not even
particularly popular in Japan.
All three Detroit automakers have less
than 1 percent market share.
One of the bestsellers, Jeep, sells about
10,000 vehicles in Japan a year.
The Japanese car buying experience would
also likely shock many Americans,
who often view a trip to the
dealership as one of life's necessary evils.
Much of Japanese business culture is
built around service and hospitality,
and auto dealerships
are no exception.
Japanese dealerships offer customers nearly
white glove service, and the
way buyers choose cars is entirely
different from the traditional buying
experience in the U.S.
Whereas American shoppers will often choose
a car from what is available
on a dealer lot, Japanese buyers can
often custom-build a car out of a
catalog and then have it made for
them in a matter of weeks.
A strong local supply chain and
local factories allow Japanese automakers
to do this.
Furthermore, quality of service
is often quite high.
Dealerships frequently have amenities such
as cafes and complimentary car
washes. They will also follow up
with customers sometimes even years after
a purchase.
Foreign automakers overall have had difficulty
adapting to this way of
selling. Moreover, the Japanese have
longstanding perceptions of American
cars as inefficient and unreliable.
This somewhat outdated view originates in
the decades from the 1960s
through the 1980s, when Japanese
brands were ascending and American
automakers were plagued with criticism and
scandal over vehicles such as
the Chevrolet Vega, the AMC Gremlin,
the Ford Pinto and the Chevrolet
Corvair.
And though American manufacturers have
made far more fuel-efficient engines
in recent years, the U.S.
has historically made some gas guzzlers
when compared with cars made
elsewhere.
Yeah, I think there is
a hangover for American vehicles.
You know, what does an American
car say about you in Japan.
That baggage is carried with that.
Meanwhile, the Japanese rose to power in
the auto industry in large part on
their reputation for building solid, efficient
cars that don't break down.
Of course, many observers note that American
autos have done a lot to
close the reliability gap over the years,
and cars overall are able to log
far more miles on the road than
they did even a decade ago.
And U.S.
automakers are adamant that they would be
better able to compete in Japan
if the country removes barriers
that make doing business difficult.
The trouble for Detroit is that Japan
is just one of the international
markets where U.S.
automakers have struggled.
All three Detroit automakers have had
challenges in South America and
Europe. While China which is the world's
largest car market could become a
tougher place to do business
with slowing economic growth, increased
competition, and trade disputes.
If something doesn't change, U.S.
automakers could become just that: American
companies that sell trucks and
SUVs to Americans.
2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD: FULL REVIEW | Does High Country = PEAK of Luxury??
Car Confections:
What's going on YouTube?
So a couple weeks back we brought you guys a review of the all-new heavy duty Sierra
But now today it's time to check out Chevy's more popular version the brand new Silverado 2500 HD
Of course
we would like to specially thank our friends at Sutherland Chevrolet in Nicholasville for giving us access to this loaded truck and
If you're in the market for any new Chevy, make sure you stop by their dealership or visit them virtually via their website
Which we provided a link to in the video description
So with that said, let's see if the new Silverado HD is the ultimate combination of capability and lecture
So as always we'll start things off with the exterior styling
Now as many of you probably remember this truck didn't get the best reception when its photos were first unveiled
But I'm happy to report that in person. It's actually a very handsome design
This high country model is the one that has the more traditional design
Since it uses the regular Chevy bowtie grille with thick chrome bars
Bronze accents between them and the high country branding under the right headlight
Surprisingly though the LTZ and every other trim below it now have the non traditional grille which has Chevrolet spelled out across it
As far as the headlights both of the top two trends pretty much have the same design
With two separate housings and stacked LED headlights in the bottom
and
then finally along the bottom both have LED fog lights housed inside either a chrome bumper on the LTZ or a
body-colored one on the hike up
Moving on to the side right now only crew cab is being offered with your choice between the normal and the long lives and
in the back
It adopts the same design the 1500 debuted last year
With Chevrolet written out across the back and the new wiggly LED taillights
So overall while the new heavy-duty is a pretty dramatic departure from the alcohol and model in person
It has a great mixture of traditional and modern cues
Now turning to the wheels heavy duty trucks do have to have smaller ones for capability purposes
Which is why this high country comes standard with 20-inch polished out voice instead of 22s, like on the 1500
As far as the LTZ it has 18s with a similar design
Heading out to the mirrors
They are massive towing ones with just about every feature that could be thrown at them
You have normal and convex mirrors auto dimming heating power folding power
Extension puddle lamps and front and rear facing lighting
We also have blind spot monitoring which is standard on this model and optional on the LTZ
Now beyond BSM importantly you now have some active safety features on board
Ford emergency braking and auto high beam headlights both of which were not available on the outgoing model
But getting stuff done is definitely most important to HD trucks
So checking on the tailgate first
It is the same as on the regular 1500 so it can impressively both lower and raise with the press of a button
the bed lifts in height is now one inch lower this year and it can be accessed through either the back bumper step or
the new side one as
For the bed itself Chevy says it now has class-leading volume 12 different tie-downs
and we also have the power outlet and the cutouts for fifth wheel towing and
Speaking of towing all versions of the HD make absolutely huge numbers
This specific model is rated for eighteen thousand five hundred pounds
But some versions can't go all the way up to a maximum of thirty five thousand five hundred pounds
But anyways, that's it for the outside so now let's go ahead and see how luxurious they have made the cabin
So as you would expect your two higher-end trims do come standard with Chevy's smart entry system as well as remote start
And you get inside the vehicle itself in typical chevy fashion, you're just gonna press the button and it will unlock the door
All right, so taking a look inside the 2020 Silverado HD high country
As you can tell the cabin is a more familiar place than say the exterior. For example
But there are plenty of unique touches and plenty of changes versus the outgoing generation
now as far as your material and color options both the LTZ and the high country do come standard with real leather seating on the
LTZ that's going to be available in jet black or Gideon grey however here on the high country
You have jet black or the more expressive combination of amber and jet black which is what we have. I
Also do want to mention the seating arrangement what you'll be looking at is the bench seating
on all the models except for the high country
This does come standard with the bucket seats, but you can't option on bucket seats to the LTZ
Now turning over here to your door trim since this is the high country
Of course, you do have the best materials of the bunch
So you're looking at a real leather through here with the nice color contrast color here
We do have top touch plastic with more stitching as well as some faux wood accents on the high country
Both the LTZ and the high country do come standard with two-person memory seating
And as far as your windows, they are OneTouch auto up and down for your driver and passenger
Now coming down to your seat
It is 10-way power adjusting with two-way lumbar support on both the high country and the LTZ
And like I already said you do have real leather on both of those trims, but only in the high country
Do you have this really nice looking color contrast design
So you've got like different accents different types of stitching and piping details as well as the stitched
Embroidered name up here on the headrest. It's definitely a very very attractive looking seat
Now as far as getting into the HD, of course, this is a very large truck
But we do have standard running boards. Now just be aware. These are fixed in place. They are not retractable like on the 1500
But as you can see, they are very large so easily put your feet on there
And you do also have a driver side assist grip here
And like I already mentioned this being the high country does mean we have both the best materials and the most visually interesting design
So across your upper part above the gauges here is soft touch. However, this part here is hard touch
But when you go down just a little bit more you come to this color contrast section. This is a leatherette
With color contrast stitching that goes around it and all over this area
Coming down to your lower areas. We have some more of that
Realistic faux wood trim and you get more of that perforated leather and color contrast
Leather design here on the armrests then everything does fit together very well also
Now it is worth mentioning that on the high country. You have the unique
kind of bronze finished
Material that goes around here as well as on the steering wheel. Like I said that's exclusive to the high country
Now on your top two trims you do have standard push-button start
And when you press it, you're gonna find this 8 inch display fire up on the LT, LTZ and the high country as standard equipment
All right, so checking out the gauges here
What you're looking at is the premium version this version comes on the high country only and has the eight inch
reconfigurable gauge cluster display here in the middle
This is optional as well on the LTZ
But regardless of which one you choose you actually have pretty much the same information
More or less basically your gauges of those top four gauges are rendered digitally on this
But you have options to change the design and do things with like safety systems
within this screen
Now in addition to that high country is also going to come standard with a very very nice
15-inch head-up display, this is the largest in this segment
And it's one of the largest I've ever seen definitely very vivid
Can contain a lot of different information once you start moving and if you change the settings around
and
Coming back to the steering wheel
Of course, you're gonna find a nice leather wrap steering wheel across all the models and you do actually have hydraulic power steering
So that's kind of a more of an old-school heavy-duty type of thing
We do have some cross stitching on the steering wheel
like I said
We have the bronze on the high country. And then as far as your buttons, you do have buttons for your cruise control
Heating on both the LTZ and the high country and then on this side you get your multi-function display buttons phone and voice controls
As far as steering wheel itself it is always manually tilt and telescoping
As far as your shifter you still have a color mounted shifter just like always
So obviously that's very simple you're just going to pull down for Drive
You do have these little toggles if you want to control shifting manually
you will notice just like the
1500 Silverado the towing button as well as your other drive mode. They've been relocated over here to this little toggle
So you just scroll through as you can see you do have a normal and an off-road mode
And then you can flip over to the other side for the towing mode. And you also have your four-wheel drive controls, right
Now when we go into reverse here
You will find a standard backup camera on both the LTZ and the high country, of course
But what we're looking at here is the upgraded surround vision camera system
This is an option on both the LTZ and the high country
And we've discussed it previously and both the Sierra as well as other GM vehicles
But this is one of the best camera systems in the entire auto industry
You have just an absolute ton of views really really great resolution as well
So I'll point out some few of the important ones. This is obviously a good view for you to backup
For your trailer you have kind of a 3d view for getting out of tight spaces
You have side view so you don't grind against anything
We also have a bed camera which is thrown in with this surround vision system
and we can't activate it right now because obviously we don't have a trailer but
This does do the same thing as the Sierra which we pointed out last month
Which you can basically see through the trailer definitely a class exclusive feature and super super neat
Now having that column-mounted shifter does have plenty of benefits when it comes to interior storage obviously you've got a ton of it here so
You get a little area right here on the top to start off with but underneath here
We have an absolute massive amount of space. this is super deep
very wide you have a removable mat as well as
Illumination and you'll find one of your standard USB is one of your USB type C's and an aux jack
Moving forward we've got our two cupholders a small area here
Another small area here and then this large pad here does double as a wireless phone charger
As far as other odds and ends we have some area along the side
We have some space up here pretty deep space actually up on the top of the dashboard
And then just a ton a ton of space in the door trim
So you're definitely going to have plenty of space for whatever equipment. You need to get the job done
As far as other controls in this area
here are your other USB ports another 12-volt outlet a
Household stop outlet and then you also have your controls for your trailer brake
This being the diesel above that. We have the exhaust brake system. We've got some buttons for our safety systems tailgate release
traction control this turns on and off the outlet and then this is before
Rolling down all the windows at once. I've never seen that button before on any
Trucks, but definitely an interesting and handy feature
Now the next stop up the dashboard here is our climate controls on both the top two trims it is dual zone automatic
and as you'd expect for a truck focused on ergonomics
It is very simple. You have three knobs to control your main functions here
You also have your zones located right here as well as your other buttons
So there's really nothing that you need to consult the display for though. You can have it up there if you prefer
As far as the seat controls you will have the three-stage heating on both the LTZ and the high country
However you it is standard
The ventilation is standard only on the high country or you can option it on via the convenience package on the LTZ
Alright and now we are up at the audio system so the six-speaker audio system is standard equipment
However, this being the loaded model we have the seven-speaker Bose premium sound system. So we'll go ahead and take a sample
Overall sound quality is excellent
And now that pretty much brings us up here to our Chevy infotainment system three this of course is new to the heavy duty trucks
So we'll go ahead and take a quick look now as far as your main features here
I just want to point out a couple of the highlights and the most important things
Because this is the same Chevy implement three system that you've seen in other models
So the first thing I want to point out is that we do have navigation
This is the integrated navigation system the newest upgraded version and that's standard on just the high country
But you can't auctioned on to the LTZ if you want to
Regardless though you will find that you have standard apple carplay and android auto and
Those of course do have built-in navigation functions if you want to use those instead
Additionally, we do have a Wi-Fi hotspot
This is where you'll find the Wi-Fi name as well as the password to sign in and this is included free
For a three gigabyte trial or the first month of ownership
But anyways, that's pretty much the main features of the Chevy infotainment 3 system
However, we do have a much more detailed tech help video available
For those of you who want to learn more about it a link to that is provided in the video description
I
and heading on up here we do have a auto dimming mirror with your three home like universal remotes mounted right here
But continuing the trend of having more cameras than basically any other vehicle I've ever been in
We also have GM's rear camera mirror
Then coming on up here go find that we have a moonroof
This is actually not standard on any of the trim levels. It is a
$995 option on both of them
And as you can see, it's the standard size unit. There is no panoramic moon available at this time
But overall the cabin of the high country Silverado HD is certainly a great place to spend time
Just like with other HD vehicles
You have this extreme mixture of both a lot of storage a lot of capability
But now with this new model we add in a ton of luxury and a ton of Technology
So anyways that does it for the front areas
So now go ahead and hand it off to my brother Mason who will check out the back areas
All righty
So hitting around to the back seats of the all-new 2020 silverado heavy-duty
You are going to find a good amount of space as you would expect
Now we are covering only the LTZ in the high country. So that is available in this crew cab configuration
So you are going to find a lot of legroom
Technically it's rated at forty three point four inches of rear legroom and forty point one inches of rear headroom
Which like I said is absolutely massive
You're not going to have any issues in terms of space and it's right on par with that of the Ford f250 Super Duty
Now turning over to the door trim. It is really nicely appointed especially on this high country with the color contrast
So we do have a brown portion right here as well as black contrast and some of that real wood trim
now we do have a auto down window and
down below that we do have a lot of door storage as you can see there is tons of it and
Turning over to the seat itself. Like I mentioned we do have that color contrast design
It looks very very premium and it is also very comfortable
Now getting in is quite easy on this high country, so just step on the running boards you do also have an assist grip
Now here in the center, of course Chevy is going to give you plenty of features
especially on this high country model
so up top when you have two cupholders with a little storage area in between and
down below that you will find standard air vents across all of the models and that's a feature that wasn't even offered at all on
the previous Silverado heavy duty
Now off to the side you will also find a three-stage heated rear seats
which are included standard on the high country model and down below that you will find a smart charging USB a USB type-c and
a 12 volt power outlet
Now, of course we do have a nice fold down arm rest
It is what the rep has two cupholders inside in another little storage area. I
Do also want to point out that this power rear window glass is high-country exclusive as well
And up top. We do even have a a nice cut out for extra Headroom as well as some LED lighting and
a coat hook
Now as far as where legroom is concerned like I mentioned this is a a ballute massive amount of space
So behind your seating position
I probably have about two foot of space between my knees and the seat back and my feet can easily slide up underneath the seat
And so as you can see, you can basically completely stretch out back here
Now, of course the seats themselves are very practical since this is a heavy-duty truck after all so you do have several features associated with
them you can pull this strap down to kind of fold it down like this and
Down below that you will find this strap and this strap actually opens part of the seat back and will give you a little storage
Area that is completely hidden from view. So if there's something really valuable it would be a great spot to put it
Now of course
You can also fold the seat up
so you have to do is grab underneath and it does fold right up and
Underneath you do even have a nice little storage box to put your tools and stuff
and
you know if you had something really big you could pull both sides up and
Fit like something really big back here in case it was like raining and you didn't want in the bed. That is an option here
Now coming over to the passenger seat it is the same adjustment as a driver
And in front of the passenger you do have a nice color contrast design with the signature two part opening glovebox
So you have a nice storage compartment right here and down below you have your standard glovebox
So it makes for a lot of different storage configurations
And up top we do have a Sun Visor with LED lights and a mirror and it does also detach and except
But anyway guys that's all the practical stuff about the Silverado heavy duty
So now let's go ahead and take it out in the road and see how that diesel engine performs
All right, so now that takes us to the heart of this beast
two different powertrains
they're both 6.6 liters, but we have the option between a v8 and
It's her bogies are now the standard gas powered v8
That produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque
However
The vast majority of people go ahead and bite the about
$9,000 bullet and
get the
6.6 liter turbo diesel engine
because that produces
445 horsepower but
910 pound-feet of torque, so it's absolutely insane
You know and it's what allows this vehicle to tow just about anything. You can possibly throw at it
As far as your transmission you'll be looking at a 6-speed automatic with the gas powered model 810 speed automatic with this diesel model
And then of course you do have the option between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive on this high country. Its four-wheel drive modeling
And then lastly in regards to your fuel economy
It's not EPA rated because it's so massive
However, a lot of people have been curious to see what kind of mileage actually gets and this particular model gives us the opportunity to
Do that because somebody has been driving it for
112 miles and so I obviously don't know how they've been driving it. They could've been flooring it continuously. Whatever
But the mileage on average is a 10 point 3 miles per gallon right now
But anyways fuel economy is not what you get this truck for. It's about that
910 pal feet of torque. So let's go ahead and take it on the road and see how that is
So first taking off here 2020 Silverado heavy-duty turbo diesel
This pattern is just ridiculous. I mean, I don't know any other way to really describe it
Just like in the Sierra we drove like two or three weeks ago
it's really no less shocking here on the second round because it's just so
effortless
Like I'm gonna use you can see it visually
You just kind of put your foot down
and without
Any drama whatsoever like not a bunch of noise
nothing
Just rocket. Let's trade off down the road
And you're going 60 and the blink of an eye
With a truck that it literally feels like a semi with a gigantic heavy-duty truck
You know and just cruising down here we are going like 55 miles an hour and it is just so smooth in here
You know
That was one of the things that impressed me the most about this year that we drew was talking about is just how smooth these
trucks ride
You know here in the high country
I mean it literally feels like a luxury car through and through you can't feel any types of bumps in the road and
it really is just a
absolute superb ride in here
It's very very impressive
a little bit a turbo whistle that you can hear
Definitely a pretty cool sound and just adds to the effect of the speed
Just like that up to highway state
It's really just a lot of fun, you know, it's not only very practical and usable, you know, if you're gonna tow something
You know, it actually is really fun to drive
Right. It really makes sense to me why
most people go for the diesel because
well, the gas has some of this experience of course, but
The torque on this is just insane and you there's nothing else that has this type of power
You know
Besides these heavy-duty trucks. That's the there are the only types of vehicles that can can do stuff like this
And also just kind of the fact that
Literally anything you look at you're bigger than besides maybe that dump truck out there
You're actually bigger than everything else on the road. I mean even SUVs like that Kia Sorento
It looks like a little ant on the road. So it really kind of just gives you a really nice commanding presence
which I know I
Mean all of you guys who are looking to buy in. This class are definitely looking for a commanding view of the room
And you have a lane departure warning as well since you kind of look down I'll see you on the lanes
You know, it's kind of almost like a video game type of perspective when you look down at the lanes
I'm noticing compared to the Sierra AT4 we drove
Feels a little bit firmer as far as the ride quality and like I had mentioned in that review
That being the offer a focused model does come with softer Springs, you know to have that articulation available to you
so
You know, this has a little bit more a little finer body control
But also a firmer ride
Versus kinda a body roll and a softer ride just different things to keep in mind
And they're really the last thing I want to discuss is just the 10 speed automatic transmission
It simply does an excellent job, I mean it is really really really smooth
So in conclusion if you are in the market for a semi-truck
You should really just come and look at one of these instead
so I can tell you this is a whole heck of a lot more luxurious a lot more high-tech and
It would definitely win a drag race next to a semi truck
Like I said is amazing this time around as it was when I first experienced it with the Sierra. It's just a remarkable
overall package
All righty, so let's go ahead and discuss the pricing of this 2020 silverado heavy duty
So you're going to find very competitive pricing with all the rest of the heavy duty trucks
So all of the prices that I'm about to quote you are for the crew cab regular bed in the two wheel drive versions
So just keep that in mind as I named off these prices
So for the very base work truck that's going to be forty one thousand four hundred
The custom is forty three thousand six hundred
The LT is forty four thousand six hundred
The LTZ is going to go up to fifty three thousand three hundred
And then finally you have this top dog high country trim, which is going to start at sixty one thousand one hundred dollars
Now this particular high country is definitely highly optioned as we do have pretty much everything we can add
In like true mentioned we have opted for the Duramax diesel, which is a nine thousand seven hundred fifty dollar option
We also have the high country deluxe package for three thousand and sixty five dollars. We have the optional sunroof for nine ninety five
we have optional white paint for nine ninety five as well as all Weather Floor Liners four to ten as
was the trailer tire pressure monitor for 50 and then
We do actually have a discount of five hundred dollars for the high country deluxe package
so all told when you add any destination charge of one thousand five hundred ninety five dollars you are going to come to
77260 as your price for this pretty much fully loaded
High country model which is worth noting if your cross shopping this let's say with the GMC Sierra Denali
That's probably its closest
competitor here
It is going to be a little bit cheaper from high country to the fully loaded Denali
And you are going to see you know a little bit of a price discount for them
Well guys we've enjoyed watching one of the first in-depth looks at the all-new
2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 high country

190821 New 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Black Double Cab Test Drive, Review, For Sale -
McCluskey Chevrolet:
If you’ve been considering the 2019 Ram
1500, then take a look at the 2019 Chevrolet
Silverado LD.
The Chevrolet Silverado LD has a rear seat
reminder, so drivers are reminded to look

I Ranked All Car Brands from Worst to Best
Scotty Kilmer:
rev your engines
today I'm going to talk
about the ten worse and best car
manufacturers that sell cars in the
United States but I'm not going to
include the European companies because
I don't advise anybody to buy those for
various reasons I'm talking about all
the others now I'm gonna start with the
worst ones and number one as the worst
manufacturer of car sold in the United
States its Fiat Chrysler no surprise there
Chrysler had low quality problems to
begin with it fooled the Germans when
they were damla Chrysler the Germans
lost billions I'm at the owner they dump
them and then Fiat bottomed out well
it's like going from the frying pan into the
fire
having Chrysler and Fiat merged now Fiat
itself left the United States decades
ago and it came back but look how horrid
their car sales are going now the actual
Fiat brand in the United States sold
less than a thousand vehicles in June of 2019
fool me once shame on you fool me twice
shame on me well the Americans don't
want to be shamed so they're not buying
these Fiat but of course the Fiat
technology is in many of these Chrysler
cars the engines the transmissions and a
lot of it is pure garbage I've had
customers who bought brand-new once the
engines blew up at 40,000 miles the
transformations never even shifted right
in the first place
they're just terrible vehicles and I
would advise to stay far away from them
so if you only listen to one thing that
I say make sure that you don't buy a
Fiat Chrysler product if you value your
money now the second worst vehicles as
far as I'm concerned our GM vehicles it
doesn't matter if you come GM GMC
Cadillac whatever they're all owned by
General Motors I remember when I was a
kid dad a song what's good for General
Motors is good for the USA what's a good
thing that that's not a truism anymore
because if the country was in the same
shape as General Motors we'd be in dire
straits then I learned to drive on a
Chevy Biscayne was like a boat you
didn't drive it you sailed it down the
road but it was a pretty bulletproof
vehicle it ran and ran and ran
but it was in Niagara Falls New York so
everything rust there and eventually the
body rusted out but we saw the tool
gauger in a junkyard
he took the engine out and put it in his
junkyard truck that he went around
picking up junk with and drove us for
years and years
the engine kept going but sadly if you
jumped it today General Motors products
just aren't what they used to be their
quality control is there moving a lot of
production to China it'll move it all
over there I don't know get better
quality control but to stop there make
it over here many of my customers that
had GM products told me they will never
buy another one if they bought one that
was made in the last eight ten years
especially we were talking about small
or cars GM never really made very well
built small cars overall the company
just doesn't show that they're making
quality products anymore I'd stay away
from them to the number three on the
list is Nissan they kind of merged were
taken over by Renault a couple decades
ago not for me it's a sad case because
when I was young they were called
Datsuns and they were little cars that
could run forever
then they came out with the sports cars
the 240 Z's and they were great sports
cars after they merged with Renault and
yeah the early 2000 ones they could be
okay that was after the merger but you
go 2006 or above there you're making a
lot of junk I had customers with them
40,000 miles the mufflers fall off
I mean that's a simple thing if they
can't even weld a muffler in a car
correctly think what they're going with
the rest of the cars I mean horrible
transmissions and they make a lot of CVT
transmissions to just fall apart I see
more Nissan's with CVT is going out and
then people find out that hey it's gonna
cost me six eight thousand dollars to
put another transmission in and the cars
worth three or four and they just junk
the car so stay away from Nissan if you
value your money the number four on my
list Kia I would not buy a Kia
not if you're cheaper you want to save
some money they can be okay cars if you
don't drive more than a hundred thousand
miles or keep more than six or eight
years just keep your mind they don't
have the quality and you're not saving
all that much money I did a video the
other day and I showed that back in 2008
if you got a Kia SUV $6,000 cheaper than
the rare for SUV and even though the
quality was a lot
I worked on one the other day it had
50,000 miles in the air-conditioning had
already broken the compressor went out
on it but if you compare a 2019 Kia SUV
to the 302 rav4 you were saving less
than two thousand dollars buying a Kia
and for that small amount of money hey
I'd buy the Toyota every time if you
went a long lasting cart it doesn't give
me any troubles you don't buy a Kia, now
the last manufacturer and I wouldn't buy
a car from I rate as low is mitsubishi
they've always been cheaper made cars
many of my customers with Mitsubishi's at
an
early age they burned a lot of oil I
don't know why they can't learn from
history they've always had cheap piston
rings they just burn oil as they age go
back three decades ago I had a customer
who wanted blue smoke looked like they
were fumigating for mosquitos driving
down the road often you can only get
parts at the dealer where the prices are
extremely high and a lot of people don't
know how to work on them so you go to
the dealer you're gonna pay outrageous
prices to get them fixed so even though
they're cheaper to buy they can be much
more expensive to fix and really there's
so much choice these days and decent
vehicles why would you go and try to
save a little bit of money get anyone
that's a lot cheaper made the piston
rings wear out the engines burn oil now
yeah they do cost less that's how they
sell them you can get a Mitsubishi
Mirage they started like $13,000 that
said I've had customers that were happy
with them for a while they don't fall
apart as soon as you buy them and since
they're a cheaper car people always want
to buy something that cost less but if
you're really value your money over time
it'd be better off buying a used Toyota
or use Honda then you would be buying a
brand new Mitsubishi also probably last
two to three times as long as you keep
them a long time, now here comes the five
best ones
number five is Subaru which might
surprise you cuz I generally tell people
I'm not a Subaru fan I'm not a Subaru
fan but lately they've been making some
interesting engine designs if you live
in a snowy area the system in a Subaru is
pretty much
one of the best systems out there there
are the ones that really want whole-hog
I'm all wheel and four-wheel drive
systems I got that down pat you live
where there's a lot of snow but Subaru
may not be a bad idea I know in the past
that head gasket problems their
automatic transmissions or garbage I
still tell people today if you really
have a choice the Subaru get a standard
transmission no number four is Mazda now
I'm not a big miles to fan myself but
there are reasons you could buy a ma so
let's say you want a little cute sports
car you can't beat the Mazda Miata for
the money there are excellent cars
lately my customers with Mazdas they've
been reasonably happy with the vehicles
they make some decent cars of various
types and they're pretty dependable
vehicles now number three on my list of
the better made car is ford and I know people
might say oh it's an American
manufacturer well their quality has gone
up and they're more or less starting to
specialize here in the United States
they're pretty much given up on a car
market they're only gonna be making
Mustangs and they're gonna be stressing
pickup trucks and SUVs which as far as
I'm concerned is a smart move on for
their smaller cars they weren't that
well made they had problems so I Ford's
sticking to what they do best
trucky type things hey I put them number
three on the list, and number two on the
list is Honda, Honda actually makes the
best engines in the world their engines
are even better than Toyotas Honda has
less engine related failures on their
vehicles than even Toyota Honda's one on
the list for engines and Toyota's number
two and just like Toyota they have a
wide range of vehicles you can buy and
here again I'm just have really good
resale values because they're generally
really well built cars but as they're
always warned people you got to do a
little research on anything because some
of the newer Honda's that have the GDI
turbocharged engines have an oil
dilution problem I wouldn't buy one of
those until they ironed it out but that's
not often that honda
make big mistakes, and of course Toyota
is the best car manufacturer period
people go whine all they want say oh
they're not as quality as they used to
be well nothing is but they're still
better than all the rest they hold up
yeah you're gonna pay more for one but
there's the market for you Toyota's have
insanely high resale values why because
people know they're good the market
isn't gonna lie on that if cars are
crappy like Jaguars check their resale
value, I get customers if
they're crazy enough they can buy a
beautiful look and use Jaguar that's
seven or eight years old for a couple of
grand, so now you know the bottom
five and the top five car manufacturers
in the United States that you can buy,
so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to
ring that Bell
