Need a new great car company.

[Chunkee]

Owners. 🙂

Need to put together a crew like that. Make the best cars.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Or the worst.

Japanese make the design, Americans engineer it, Germans do the electrical systems, and it's assembled by the Italians.

Heh you beat me to this. How about: Japanese aesthetics, German electrical, American union labor, and Italian pricing? 😛

 

[alpineranger]

American assembly? No thanks. Japanese assembly for me.

American engineering is excellent though. It's just that the engineers are held back by american accountants (and marketing people and lawyers).

Japanese aesthetics? You've got to be kidding. Japanese car manufacturers have a 'design fuckup' competition every year and each maker tries to outdo the other.

I was just trying to come up with something that American companies do well. Harder than you might think lol.

That's the point, we're talking about the hypothetical best and worst car companies.

This is like that joke that shows up in T-shirts:

"In heaven, the lovers are Italian, the cooks are French, the police are British, and the administrators are German. In hell, the lovers are German, the cooks are British, the police are French, and the administrators are Italian."

Or Korean. They have the cheapest cars ever (in all senses of the word).

You can't leave Lucas, the prince of darkness out of the mix for "worst car ever"

 

[AstroManLuca]

Now that you mention it, I think the worst car company would be where the British handle every aspect of the car's design and manufacture.

 

[Colt45]

Lucas is so much worse than german electronics.

plenty of non-german cars have bosch electronic stuffs in them these days...

I'm fairly certain this is the epitome of fail.

There have been good American Cars (designed/built)...there are good German cars (designed/built), and there are good Japanese cars (designed/built)...but there pretty much has never been a good British car completely designed and built by them...I'm fairly certain...maybe the original Mini was the only exception.
