5 car brands that are most likely to die by the end of the decade GMYT: EP 52

[@reelreeler8778]

I don't think Buick brand will die, but I do agree with you about what's left of the Chrysler brand. Also, why isn't there any mention of the Lincoln brand, it's already pretty much faded into oddball-obscurity.

[@ChuckKelleher]

Good catch, Lincoln has been circling the drain for years.

[@adamhayden5152]

Buick won’t die, they might leave the us market. But Buick is huge in China so is Cadillac. I hope Cadillac doesn’t leave the us market. They only sold 147k ish cars last year.

[@ChuckKelleher]

@@adamhayden5152 I looked up the total sales for Buick the last few years and was surprised to learn their sales increased 61.4% 2022-2023. Total sales in 2022 were 103,519 and in 2023 it was 167,030.

[@MrDuncl]

From what I have seen large car companies like to have lots of brands. Slap different badges on similar cars to make it look as if you have a big range. Compare the Dodge Hornet with the Alfa Romeo Tonale as an example. Here in Europe VAG decided that having VW, Skoda, and Seat all selling similar cars at slightly different price points wasn't enough so introduced Cupra as well. I have no idea why as there don't seem to be separate Seat and Cupra Dealers. Some more news from the U.K. Mitsubishi have gone. Subaru is on their way out. Lexus isn't doing that well. I saw my first Volvo EX30 today Not that surprising as I work near a Volvo dealer that always has loads of Polestars in their yard. The same dealer also has BYDs sat on their forecourt but I have yet to see one in use.

[@kjg2626]

The Jaguar supercharged V-6 engines do not generally have an enduring reputation of "grenading" themselves. It appears that circa 2014 there was a batch with bad con rod bearings that failed, which Jaguar largely replaced under warranty. The user experience overall since then (including two I have owned) has been positive. It's less than helpful to make denigrating generalizations. With that said, I too see a shaky future for Jaguar, mostly for the reason cited in the video that they have staked their product line on electric vehicles only, phasing out (rather than updating) well loved and highly regarded ICE products like the F-Type. I also believe declining recent sales have been based on two factors: lack of significantly updating models that sold well from 2016-2020, and pathetic/nonexistent promotion for at least 8 years. When was the last time anyone in the US saw a Jaguar advert on TV?

It blows my mind INFINITI isn’t on this list. IMO they are at the top of brands that won’t be here by the of the decade. Their entire line up is 10+ years old, they finally brought out a new QX60 after 10 model years but I don’t think that’s going to be enough to save them.

[@joelkrause388]

Buick should bring 1 of their GT car concepts forward. Either the Avista (my personal choice), their Wildcat or their Riviera and power it with a reworked hybrid like the Corvette E-Ray has. A true 2 door grand tour, which would be a silky smooth luxury vehicle. I'd also like to see Buick bring their concept Avenir sedan to market. All of them have outstanding designs and could save the brand in the U.S. McLaren could build a small crossover that would compete with the Porsche Macan at a decent price point (no more than a fully optioned Macan Turbo) to try and save them.

[@bobpierce115]

Nice sentiment; I get it. But Buick bringing out some coupe that'll be outrageously priced and garner very few sales, will only hasten their joining Pontiac and Oldsmobile even sooner.

[@joelkrause388]

The price point on the Buick would have to be mid-range, like they are now, nicer than Chevy, but lower than Cadillac. If Buick could keep it between $60 - $65k like a base Corvette with one of those aforementioned designs, I think they'd sell a decent number. I'd give it some serious consideration.

[@bobpierce115]

Joel, the American coupe market is virtually dead, and has been for years. Buick is lucky to just be hanging in there as a GM division period, with their current product lines. Any coupes you see here on YT are fun to look at, but make no mistake, it's pure fantasy b.s. I saw one recently of a 2025 Malibu coupe with the 1970 front & rear end, with a reworked 6th gen Camaro body.

[@user-ez5yg7tn8d]

Tyler, April and Nelix---My very 1st car after turning 16 in 1967 was a 1964 white squareish looking horrible Renualt. The gas intake was located right next to the rear engine. So--every time I'd let my local gas station guy fill my gas tank instead of me doing it myself he would spill gas when pulling out the nozzle and it would hit the hot engine and the engine would then catch fire after driving only several miles. After this happened the 2nd time (I had only owned the car several weeks at this point) I was driving around town with my buddies and I saw fire coming out of the back of this Renault through my rear view mirror. I pulled this horrible car made in France over and luckily we all made it out of the car safely. After the local fire dept arrived the car was totally engulfed in flames and was a total loss. Needless to say, I never ever bought another Renault. It was however the hottest car that I ever owned!! PS--This Renault was without a doubt the absolute worst car I have ever owned. It was then obvious to me why this Renault only cost 250.00--YIKES!!

If we can analyze the challenges faced by the auto industry, some are obvious: carbon footprint issues, a shaken worldwide economy, developing alternative power systems, etc. But I submit this notion for your consideration: if everybody sells products that are generic, brand loyalty cannot develop. Further, particularly in the aspirational segments of the marketplace, a company that drifts away from their own history and heritage risks building lookalike stuff, devoid of any individuality.... So, who would get a Maserati instead of a Kia? Nobody. Lotus? Volvo? Rover? Ditto..... I'll go out on a limb: if these trends continue, within 20 years we will lose 90% of the current peloton of car companies.

We drove a Buick Regal for about ten years (two different vehicles). Then, GM turned them into hatchbacks and the driver's seat was horrible and you couldn't see out the back. So when our next Buick lease was up, we went to a Honda Accord, and now Toyota Camry. We haven't driven a GM vehicle since 2019. As far as the Chinese market, don't forget BYD and they will slither their way into the American market and then I see Tesla going under.

[@christophorus991]

That's the most ignorant thing I've read since I've left Twitter. 😆 I might have even agreed with you before I owned one. The handling on the Giulia is outstanding! It has a quicker steering rack than almost anything short of a Ferrari. I thought my Evo 9 had a quick rack. This is quicker. It absorbs bumps better than my friend's Lexus which he claims rides amazing but it was definitely more jarring than the Giulia. If you're looking for a comfortable, sporty four-door sedan the Giulia is insanely underrated. I just have the crappy four banger but it's super punchy. I've owned a F80 M3 in the past and I'd take a Giulia Quadrifoglio over that or a new M3. Also the four banger Giulia is shockingly reliable. The issues the early quadrifoglio models had gave all the models a bad reputation.

What I wish though, is that all these car companies that have different trim levels would have their entire color pallet available through the entire line. For instance, a sport trim model would have some bright, sporty colors, but all BLACK interiors...in Texas where summer temps are often over 100. You go to the higherr trim level of the same car, and they have nice interior, but the exterior colors are 50 shades of gray, dark blue, black and white. Stupid. I want a bright exterior with a nice light interior, in a car that has all the bells and whistles but still relatively small and economical.and that is hard to find.

Important to note Lotus is owned by Geely, same as Volvo - and indeed the new all electric Lotus is entirely designed and built in China in Geely's megafactory just like Polestar - effectively a re-badged sportier version of their existing Chinese EV platforms. Their new sports car is still built in the UK.
