The factoid about San Francisco in the article confirmed my perception that American cars are just not very popular is actually a distortion of the Bay Area bubble I live inside of.
Edit: from the narrow view of my kitchen window in West Oakland I can see 2 Toyotas, a Subaru, a Ford Focus and the VW e-Golf in my driveway: 20% American. There'd usually be another suby in my driveway, but my son is home from college and borrowed it.
- sandworm101 9y agoThose toyotas were likely assembled in the usa, and from probably as many american parts as the ford. 'Domestic' and 'import' dont mean anything these days. They are all made by large trans-national corporations for whome citizenship is fluid.
- jdblair 9y agoWhile true, I don't see how your point is important in the context of this article.
