American definition of luxury just equals "big"
29
@fp5495 American cars, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, owned by Italy. Most of Ford range, deisgned in Europe, head of Ford design, Moray Calum, a Scotsman. Head of GMC design, a British woman. Moving on... It must embarrass you that China and India can do a better job of companies that USA used to own like Land Rover, Jaguar and Volvo when Ford had them . You were so shit at running them you sold them for a loss and theyre ten times better now. You killed Saab and you nearly killed Aston Martin.

@tsavin I agree with you. Part of the breasons that American cars are junk is that they dont understand that quality costs money. They're obsessed with "bang for the buck" so accept shit interiors and low quality materials for a cheaper price, hence they miss the point of what luxury actually means I hired a Challenger in America, and the steel was so thin that when you hit 65mph, the bonnet rippled. The interior of every American car I have ever driven has been at least a decade behind Europe and the gearboxes in their cars are something like a 1980's car. Just laughable.

@nothere572 nobody makes cars which are unreliable these days. Its only minor faults. Why do you think they have such long warranties? Wjat matters is build quality and quality of materials, amd America have NEVER done well in this aspect, hence you dont understand the term "luxury"
6
@tsavin We dont have a free market in the UK. We have a mixed economy. Besides British car comlanies that were state owned or subsidised were shit because there was no incentive for quality innovation or build quality. Would you really want Rover back? We are better off having most of our car companies in foreign hands.
6
@WycliffStudios What are you on about? How many European brands do you think are owned by China? Volvo, Lotus, London Electric Cabs, anyone else? There's just as many US car companies owned by Italy. Geely are doing a brilliant job of Volvo, certainly better than Ford did. As for China walking over anyone, you looked at who owns most US debt at the moment? Yes China. Your balls are in their hands
6
@akanand661 No good car companies out of Britain? 😂 😂 😂 Lotus, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, Austin Healey, Jensen, Marcos etc. UK has a population that is one sixth of America but has produced far more iconic cars.

@williamegler8771 Theyre still British companies that are owned by German companies. Do you realise how many American companies are owned by foreign companies? That doesnt make them foreign now does it? Your revolting American "beer" Budweiser is owned by a Belgian brewer now, so by your criteria it is no longer American and Budweiser is Belgian. Right???? Ben and Jerrys, Trader Joes, Burger King, Lucky Strike, Seven Eleven etc are not owned by America anymore, but you'd still claim to your dying breath they are American products/companies Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep are owned by Fiat, so are they Italian now? 😂 😂 😂
4
@WycliffStudios Well, they still own some of your debt. So you are still im hawk to them. Why did you gloss over how much better Geely is at running car companies than American companies were? Why do you ignore that American car marques are also under foreign ownership? One of the hilarious things is that Chinese made Tesla are of higher quality than American made Tesla. How do you like that?

@liamcoxk8333 Ha ha ha. Our cities predate America and cars by about 200 years. Obviously they werent designed with cars in mind because the car hadnt even been thought of let alone got anywhere close to being invented.
3
Kim Boom Joong Yeah, Bentley, Aston, Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls, Lotus, Morgan etc are so ugly arent they? Thats why they win design awards all the time, thats why they win Car of the Year, Electric Car of the Year etc isnt it? 😂 😂 😂

Sarthak Suman JLR is considerably better than the shit it was under US owned Ford.

@rippedup1931 British Leyland was fucking decades ago. You made shit cars then too and still do. Why is it when Yanks claim that British cars arent British anymore they forget how many of their car companies arent owned by America anymore. America made Pontiac, AMC, Oldsmobile etc, so dont lecture me on quality. Are the Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Viper and Challenger Italian because theyre owned by Fiat? By the way, Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover are 100x better now they arent owned by Ford. Whyis it that China and India have done a MUCH better job of running the likes of Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo and Aston than Ford did? Also most of your current Ford lineup available in America comes from the designs amd engineering of British and European Ford arms. Even the Mustang is designed by a Scotsman. Are Budweiser and Burger King no longer American because America doesnt own them?
3
@pistonburner6448 Ha ha ha. You just madw my point for me. Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston and Range Rover are all designed, engineered and built in the UK. EXACTLY the same as Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge are in USA, despite Italy owning them. So in what waybare they different? Is Budweiser not an American lager anymore because Belgium own them 100%? Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge are OWNED by Stellantis, a mwrger of Fiat and PSA, Fiat previously BOUGHT Chrysler, JEEP and Dodge. By the way Buick and Ford models are mostly derivatives of European models in terms of design and engineering, so are they not American?

@lilpold9192 or steel even.
2
@WycliffStudios There isnt and never has been any communist governments in the UK. Why are Americans so stuoid that the think centre left governments = Communism? You demonstrably dont even know what communism is.
2
@akanand661 Smart cars arent British. Bentley amd Rolls Royce are the last word in luxury.
2
@WycliffStudios Yes, Tata and Geely did what Ford couldn't do. How is it that the US is so bad at running a long list of car companies that India and China can almost instantly make them a success and return them to profit?
2
@trenton.tchannel1810 It wasnt that US rentals are beat to shit z its THE AWFUL design, hysterically bad gearboxes, cheap interiors and general nastiness about the product. You Americans put cost before quality, which is why your cars are 10 years behind the rest of the world in design amd technology and why your roads are full of unacceptably bad cars lile Lincoln Town Cars
2
@Fal-911 No one makes unreliable cars anymore, thats the point. Warranties are really long and anything that goes wrong with cars is amways really minor. The problem with US cars is the design doesnt appeal to the rest of the world and the rest of the world demands better quality materials and cars that arent 10 years behind.
2
@trenton.tchannel1810 This is what i mean about Yanks not understanding the term "luxury". In America it just means bigger, it seemingly has nothing to do with quality if you are American
2
@rippedup1931 Yeah, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover, Aston Martin, not refined at all eh?
2
@helpredisembiring2241 I've driven plenty. Poor design, poor materials, laughable interiors, outdated, uneconomical, terrible gearboxes etc i drove a Dodge Challenger and the bonnet rippled at 70mph. Im not saying all European cars are brilliant, obviously they arent, but there's reasons as to why US cars arent sold worldwide, and European ones are. Burger King is owned by a Canadian HQ'd company by the way, Budweiser is owned by the Belgians, but I would say they are still American, but by your standards, you wouldn't. Im not sure you speak English based on your writing.
2
@pistonburner6448 Aston, Range Rover, Bentley, Rolls Royce....... And before you say "theyre not owned by the UK", well Chrysler, Jeeo and Dodge arent owned by Amwrica either but im sure youd count the Dodge Hellcat as an American car.
2
@pistonburner6448 Jesus, We were talking about luxury cars, of which Range Rover and Aston fit into that bracket. I didnt claim or even imply that Aston or Range Rover were owned by the Germans. You were the one who stated that Britain dodnt have any luxury cars. Who owns the company doesnt change the nationality of the car, as per example, Belgian ownership doesnt make that repulsive excuse for a beer, Budweiser a Belgian Beer. Its still an American beer, just like Rolls Royce or Bentley are still British cars. Volvo haven't become Chinese simply because Geely own them. ALL Bentley cars are made in CREWE, EVERY Aston IS made in UK, EVERY Rolls Royce is made at Goodwood and Range Rover all over the world (as many American cars are) As for there being American luxury cars,ike what exactly? Luxury in Amwrica simply means big. Cadillac for example are second rate, as are Lincoln and are so bad that in most of the world you cant even buy them
2
@pistonburner6448 I didn't claim Range Rover was a company, I said it was a luxury car. Careful you dont have a heart attack. Ironic that all these "foreign companies" are managing to do a far better job than when some of these companies were owned by the Yanks. Also funny you didnt call Jaguar, Volvo, Aston or Land Rover American when they owned them isnt it?
2
@allentoyokawa9068 What does that make American cars then? Last American car I drove, the bonnet rippled when you did 70mph, it had a gearbox straight out of 1980 and an unacceptably cheap interior.
2
@LottaFear American "luxury" is an oxymoron. Luxury in America doesnt mean better quality, comfort, poise, design etc. It just means bigger. Theres a good reason wjy the world doesnt buy Amwrican "luxury" because like Japan, it has a totally different idea of what luxury means.
2
@LottaFear Ha ha ha. Is that why many European countries, Australia, New Zealand etc are ranked as better places to live than the US? Corrupt? Its not my country where someone with no political experience can buy their way to the Presidents office, that would be........ Yes, USA
2
@LottaFear No, Americans call it the land of opportunity. Other people dont. Millions of migrants go to lots of countries. Europe gets more migrants than America. Anyway, this isn't about America as a country, its about your shit cars and hardly any models are sold abroad.
2
@LottaFear Camera mirror? 😂 😂 😂 Oooh, the luxury. You can get that on a $15k Nissan for fuck sake
2
@LottaFear Ferrari amd Lamborghoni aren't luxury cars. See I told you that you dont understand luxury.
2
@LottaFear Because what you said was laughable. Americans are obsessed with "bang for the buck" and Ferrai and Lamborghini dont even claim to be luxury car makers. As for Cadillac, if they were so fucking good why arent they even sold in most other countries? The irony is that your most iconic car, the Mustang is designed by a Brit
2
@LottaFear Mercedes sell at least 5x more than Cadillac in China As for leading the way in Electric, i think youll find that is South Korea, Japan and China. America have done Ok, but everyone is at it now. BMW, merc, Audi, Volvo, Porsche, Polestsr etc. Lambo and Ferrari sell on performance, not luxury. There you go about price again. No one wants a plastic car like the Corvette. People buy 911's.
2
@LottaFear Cadillac only sells 200,000 in China😂😂😂
2
@LottaFear I dont give a shit if its the "best selling". The Ford Fiesta is the best selling car in UK, but I dont want one. It might be in America but its a Very rare sight outside North America.
2
@LottaFear No, you were saying that the biggest selling market for Pensionerillac was China, but then i pointed out that they only sold a paltry 200,000 there. Thats not exactly a ringing endorsement is it? Therefore if they were so good and so luxurious why do they not sell anywhere near the number that Mercedes do in the same market? Its about comparisons of proportions and therefore perception of the quality of a good rather than numbers. America simply isnt known for luxury or quality (or design) Then you said that Chevrolet sold a lot of the Corvette, which is totally irrelevant to this argument. Im fine if you are proud of your car industry, but it seems the rest of the world isnt as enamoured as you are and doesnt agree with your definition or display of what "luxury" means.
2
@LottaFear I dont need to represent the rest of the world. You just need to travel to see the absence of American cars. American cars are American centric by amd lwrge and dont hold significant market share in the majority of other countries. So what does that tell you? Ford and GM for example even have to have European and Australian design teams because American desogned cars aremt popular.
2
@LottaFear Ha ha ha. 😂 😂 😂 Ford and GM are NOT in the top 25 global companies in terms of revenue. Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes as well as Volkswagen ARE.
2
@Olliebobalong Premium American brand? 😂 😂 😂 Like what?

@paulpark1170 What are you on about?

@gofastcoza In America, size = luxury
1
@Johndoe-sp7zz The reliability of cars these days is simply not an issue.
1
@MCDrB-wq8ed US companies have a terrible record of running foreign car companies.
1
@MCDrB-wq8ed The Stag issue was more relatwd to the cooling problems. But yes, British Leyland was a fucking mess because itbwas state owned and unionised.
1
@hemantsathian2492 Yes they do make some affordable cars. The XE for example Its a 3 series size saloon. What the fuck is the "common man" anyway? Jag has ALWAYS been low volume, its part of the business model. They have NEVER tried to be high volume and have always been more towards the upmarket. Its built in exclusivity.
1
@aidan1585 😂😂😂😂 USA behind again, the rest of the World is stopping making diesel, and you're only starting.
1
@lavaregion6968 Why don't I know? Because your view is different! Materials on US cars are massively inferior in every segment and design is from the dark ages inside and out. American vehicles are so far behind because you insist on "bang for the buck" rather than accept that quality and actual luxury costs.
1
@lavaregion6968 You mean cars so iconic the rest of the world just doesn't buy them? Camaro, Challengers etc aren't even sold in Europe or Asia. Your companies had to have separate arms in these areas because American design doesn't go down well. You even had to have a Scotsman as head of Ford design TWICE
1
@lavaregion6968 You don't get it, you think leather is all one quality. US leather in cars looks like the cow had been smoking 40 a day. There are different definitions of what luxury means, and just ticking a material in a box doesn't mean that its quality. Lincoln? Cadillac? They miss the luxury lark like Asian cars miss the mark.
1
@lavaregion6968 The aviator looks like a Jag F Pace and an old Audi Q7 had a handicapped child. Lincoln design is a mess and the Escalade is just embarrassing. No wonder they aren't sold worldwide. No one else would accept it
1
@binxbolling Yes they can. All of those manufacturers male perfectly affordable models
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 It's not hate it's just a hideous car and an understanding of what luxury means. Luxury isn't just bigger as Americans think
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 Oh great, another "reliability wanker" Reliability isn't an issue these days. No one makes unreliable cars. How often do you ever see a broken down car?
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 Like what? Isn't it funny how the Chinese made Tesla have a higher build quality than the US ones? What cars after Tesla are leading the way? Many American cars aren't even sold outside North America, tje ones that are tend to be from European/Australia arms of Ford and GM.
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 Yes, it did, but many cars have changed the automotive world forever, sp fucking what.
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 Yours is also a personal opinion.
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 Yes, in exactly the same way. Propulsion is only a small part of it. Fuel injection, 16 valve engines, catalytic converters, super chargers, turbo chargers, seatbelts, car safety, airbags, unleaded fuel, cruise control, sat nav etc have all had massive influences on . Besides, Electric cars don't really solve a problem.
1
@jorgeluiscapiello414 It's virtue signalling is the point. European cars are ONE percent of global CO2, if you replaced them all with EV, you'd save the planet about 0.5% CO2 but ONLY after each and every one had done about 40,000 km. Hardly worth bothering. Cars are NOT the villain, just as planes are not. Climate maniacs are focussing on the WRONG target.
1
@kawasakiz900rese Ha ha. Yanks don't know what understated means
1
@fus149hammer5 Are Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge Italian? No, just because they are owned by Fiat doesn't make them Italian Cars. Is that DISGUSTING American "beer" Budweiser Belgian because it's owned by them? Of course it isn't.
1
Why? They aren't sold in the UK. It's ok doing a novelty like this piece of shit for laughs but I wouldnt want to see Mat waste time on any more.
1
@baronvonjo1929 Then you dont understand whay carwow is. Do you seriously think that it is just a review channel? Carwow is a system where you enter the details of a car you want and it goes to matket and gets dealers competing to give you the best quote. It doesnt do anything for Carwow to review a load of fars that arwnt even sold in Europe. Of course he review the odd leftfield car, but why waste his time on cars that make zero money for carwow?
1
@raymonds7492 Carwow make fuck all from this sort of car. Its just occasionally done for novelty value
