    They could try going for quality or features.

    But instead they are only going for size, what 94% of the world does not care or want. (this includes the 5% of Americans)

      American car companies are focusing on their highest profit center, massive trucks. Milking that market for the short term.

      …… regardless of their long term survival. It seems extremely short sighted.

      Dunno, seems like a global problem. European car companies are scared too. And they don’t make those big cars.

      The only issue I see is that china is very hostile with how it deals with other countries, otherwise this is just the trend of how things work out. In the 80s, it was the japanese car industry.

        They’ve got to keep their profit margins, or the CEO’s and shareholders might need to take a paycut.
