US automakers simply don’t want to make affordable vehicles
I’m talking about the US market, which is now dominated by Japanese automakers who build cars in the U.S. that completely changed the reliability game, and the Korean automakers that started at the economy side of things and slowly moved upmarket over the last 25 years. They’re not even imports, as most of them are made in North America specifically for the US market, and these same popular models don’t get sold in Japan or Korea or wherever the parent company is based. The Japanese automakers are exactly who I was thinking about when I made my post about reliability and longevity in the US for US consumers.
Even the luxury side of things has almost entirely been abandoned by traditional American automakers, where European brands dominate. But the ultra-luxury (or sporty supercars) aren’t part of the conversation here because the typical American household doesn’t buy those.
The US isn’t the only country on Earth.
Yes, but this whole post is about the US economy and the typical household in the US. We’ve only been talking about the US, because that’s how the post started.
