Please free them Mr. Trump. The Chinese people yearn for overpriced dog shit build quality.

Having zero mass transit options I am sure China will start reeling from the effects
aide whispers in my ear
Oh, oh no
- "Sir, a second bus just pulled up to the bus stop."

In my country there is a silly rhyme, that in English would be 'Ford, shit is worth'. Just a funny fact I wanted to share

Alt history where workers rioted and took over all Ford Motor Co factories. Management and executives were put on trial. Henry Ford was executed and his wealth seized. The name of the company was changed to Revolution Motor Co. After the American Communist Revolution in the 1960s, the company was nationalized and began phasing out personal automobiles. It would go on to produce primarily mass transit vehicles and bicycles for the American public. In the late 1970s, the US would enter a cooperative effort with Chinese communists to provide mass transport to nations recovering from imperial control. They would call it the New Silk Road Initiative.
Just Man in the Highcastleing myself out of sheer cope.
- Revolution Motor Co
  They then made massive strides in rotary engines (Yes I love the RX-7 why do you ask?)
  
  Personal automobiles were phased out in this reality. Rotary busses and trains?

VW, Tesla and Buicks are more popular in China than Fords. lol, and now they're paying more for them anyway. And Musk would never stop stelling China since he sells so many there. Domestic brands will be dominating without any foreign brands in the top 10 before the end of the decade. There's also the fact that they have useable public transport.
Edit, lol, lmao:
- Holy shit, Buick still exists? And most of their models are only sold in China?
  
  A tepid shell of a husk of a PTSD memory of Buick still exists. There was a point where GM stumbled ass-backwards into making some honestly pretty reliable cars that were dirt cheap to maintain, but those days are looooong gone.
  
  There was a new ad campaign from Buick a few years ago that was centered around how no one thought they were still around or made remotely modern cars
  It sure as hell didn't get me to buy one but it was mildly amusing
  
  I read that Buick is marketed/built as a luxury brand in China. But that might be 10 years out of date.
  
  Holy shit, Buick still exists? And most of their models are only sold in China?
  Yes lmao, look at the wiki page

those two f150s per year will help fill the 500,000 lost byd sales fr

my people yearn for oversized murder machines

antisemitism on wheels, lOlz
Herzlian response: ‘Pfft, who gives a shit? As long as Ford Motor Co. keeps selling Israel these tin cans, Henry Ford could have been literally Hitler for all I care. Now shut the fuck up you dirty foreigner.’

China: Oh no. Anyway...

American cars being shit and overpriced is overstated.
Japenese manufacturers have been skimming profit margins for years by patching up interiors with duct tape and glue.
German manufacturers literally perfected the concept of overpriced garbage by tying the entire car up with electrical components so that one piece of copper wiring going bad means your entire car needs to go the dumpster
Koreans have gone off the deepend charging 50k+ for a hyundai.
Otoh, a lot of Jeeps with that pentastar engine are virtually indestructible outside of internet memes, as are Chrysler minivans or even buicks.
- Nah, it's not overstated. Despite your other points, American cars are still the worst among them
- My Chrysler minivan was completely rusted out and still ran, it was undefeatable. Then I actually dropped a thousand on new tires and suddenly it wouldn't run any more.
  
  Then I actually dropped a thousand on new tires
  You interfered with the true essence of a cockroach
- Pentastar mentioned
  Ticktickticktickticktick
  Interestingly, the 3.0L version of the Pentastar which was seemingly everywhere in the Chinese market is far less affected by the tick of death issue than the 3.6 model and the post-MY2016 "Pentastar Upgrade" engines that were more popular in the US and were in basically the entire affected Stellantis lineup.
  The smaller first gen 3.0s are easily million km engines and there are so many Chrysler 300Cs on the road in Russia and China right now with these engines that will outlast the company that made them and the country that designed them.
  Legitimately, I think a lot of these cars will be around for the post-oil panic and people will find a way to run these things on cooking oil for a couple decades longer than the plastic covered 2.0L turbo I4s and "little brother" I3 engines that have replaced them in most cars.
