Americans Are Open To Cheap Chinese Cars. That’s ‘Scary’ For The Rest Of The Auto Industry
Whatever their quality, which seem to be below American but above European in terms of reliability, they’re still going to be cheaper and better then a chewed up Altima on it’s 12th owner at a usurious 15% APR being sold at predatory “buy here, pay here” lot that plague low income American neighborhoods like a herpes infection.
All current automakers selling cars in the use including Koreans, have been happy to screw over American customers with oligopolistic pricing for decades.
To quote a great philosopher “There’s not a damn thing funny. You gotta have a car in the land of milk and honey.”. An automobile is a critical tool for economic mobility in the states and the US has been happy leave a auto underclass forced to buy garbage used cars at eye watering APRs. Loans all backed by Wall Street criminals.
A car maker like BYD could not come soon enough.
