The US market is notoriously unforgiving of bad quality cars. Hyundai and Detroit are still trying to repair their damaged reputations from decades ago.
Americans are car connoisseurs similar to how the French are food and drink connoisseurs. Tread carefully.
- saberience 8y agoCar connoisseurs? Americans? Are you making a joke? Everything here is a huge, gas guzzling SUV, or a Ford F150 truck. Americans don't care about road feel/driving mechanics, artistic or elegant design. They want a huge and loud car to show other people how much better they are than them. Ideally, the bigger and louder and more brash, the better. This is a country that came up with "rolling coal" for god's sake. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/05/business/energy-environment/rolling-coal-in-diesel-trucks-to-rebel-and-provoke.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/05/business/energy-environme...
