Car Brands in CRISIS: Which Automakers Might Go Bankrupt Next?

[@022141able]

It seems like most new cars have many issues. Even Toyota and Honda are having reliability, issues with many recalls. Don't know what to buy now.

[@DarrellTurnerJr]

Mazda. They just have limited models and I can’t speak to the reliability of the new inline 6

[@hughjass1044]

Used.

[@purplesprigs]

The Chrysler 300 was discontinued a year ago. How does car expert not know that?

[@hughjass1044]

Good question. Thinking the same thing like... what the hell's he talking about?

[@turnne]

When has the whole Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Stellantis organization ever been successful for very long?..They have been in or near bankruptcy a few times in the last 30-40 years, They have the worst inventory " pile up" numbers in the industry...The Mercedes/Daimler debacle where Mercedes lost billions just to unload them etc etc

[@LuisUrbieta]

I feel like you should talk about bicycles because if that's the way cars are going to be we should talk about more about bicycles. I feel like cars are not perfect anymore because they have problems they are not the best and I feel like you should talk about bicycles instead. Plz reply

It’s true Rivian’s cash burn is bad but they just got a big partnership with Volkswagen for up to 5 billion and a loan from the government for about 6 million to build a new plant. So I would say there’s at least some hope for them. 😏

[@garrettyamada9821]

But isn't Volkswagen closing down almost all of their factories and manufacturing plants?

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

Most of the stuff is overpriced junk with subpar reliability..People want hybrids not electric..

[@LuisUrbieta]

Why can't every man driver talk all about positive things about cars?

[@jtoth1234summer]

Your negativity is overwhelming

[@MJ-zo5gb]

Well, this is a video of carmakers who are struggling…..

[@jtoth1234summer]

@MJ-zo5gb I agree, but the majority of his videos lately are full of negativity

[@jasonme3557]

The best move any car company can do would be to drop any electrification. Its a dead end

[@LuisUrbieta]

I feel like we need to get your cars and go with bicycles scooters or perhaps walking

[@Rogerthatidea]

@@LuisUrbietaScootere are underrated. I have a Honda Forza. Will go 90mph and gets 75 mpg. Even in the. Upper Midwest I can ride it 7 months of the year. Of course, I also have a sedan and a suv for winter and passengers.

[@steven4315]

That would involve eating the massive investments in EVs.

[@LuisUrbieta]

I feel like we should start going back to bikes​@@steven4315

[@LuisUrbieta]

​@@Rogerthatideayeah I feel like cars are far from perfect and I feel like we need to start going back to basics and not even that transition to bicycles better for the environment.

[@404notfound.....]

I couldn't agree more about your choices here. The clock is ticking fast on these brands!!

[@stevem7508]

I have no desire to buy a stupid EV ever

[@jamesseabolt5915]

🤣😂😆

[@Blank00]

Infiniti is closer to disappearing than Mitsubishi

[@john1703]

What is it with enormous SUVs and trucks? What is wrong with a sedan (like the Chrysler 300) or station wagon?

[@Boarderbro700]

Expensive! But if you keep your vehicles for a long time Porsche Porsche Porsche…. Yes expensive to buy expensive to fix but they don’t break often believe me unless you ask for it and tough as nails and resale value high… currently have GM Nissan Toyota Porsche vehicles..least problematic? Porsche then Toyota Nissan and finally Gm … most money spent out of warranty? Unbelievably GM! That being said …a 6-7 thousand dollar bill can happen very quickly on a Porsche for quite frankly not much …. But a transmission failure on my Yukon at 106 thousand kilometres (in Canada) within 4 years 6 months! Warranty is 5 years 100 kilometres in Canada.. it cost me 6500$ to replace….so for basic stuff Porsche wins and I’ve never had failure like that …BUT! Tires? Ok not best example but true… a set of Michelin pilot sport cup 2 tires 4000 can $ and they last about 4-6 hours on a race track…Hoosiers much better slightly cheaper 3600 can $$ last about 4-5 hours max but glorious!!! Road glue R7’s … on top of track punishment no issues… have C6 zr1 …incredible but many issues failings…Porsche as a daily or weekend warrior toy? In my experience wins… buy, using,selling = at the end cost of owning? Believe it or not Porsche won …

[@maurosanchez5720]

You forget Nissan and infinity both Japanese car brands are going bankrupt in 12 to 14 months.

[@davidpickens3117]

Dave, what about Ford? They have changed the front end design, BUT, still have the same style taillights for who knows how long

[@LuisUrbieta]

I mean no car has perfect reliability and I feel like cars these days they're more than throw away cars because all the electronics fail all the engines fail and there's nothing that's much safer today than going with a bicycle

[@tg_ny]

Stellantis should stop making their car brands look the same. Stop rebranding vehicles like a Jeep as an Alfa Romeo. Alfa should dump its SUVs and focus on sports cars, sport coupes and sport sedans. With all the Chrysler sourced brands, equip the vehicles with transmissions that don’t fail at 50K miles. The market is already saturated with too many brands and SUVs. You want Alfa to succeed? Launch small lightweight sporty sedans and coupes that are resonably fuel efficient and a blast to drive. We don’t need 3 second 0-60 times.

[@checoPH]

Greed equals bankruptcy, it’s that simple.

[@michaelsheedy]

Outlander is basically Nissan. Some are saying Nissan is in trouble, but who knows. Rivian's ace is Amazon's order for 100,000 Rivian delivery Van's. It's biggest problem is supply chain production delays.

[@jasonme3557]

Ford should buy Lucid. This will enable the shift to a on-line presents and purchase. Ford dealers will not go away anytime soon. This could solve that legal battle and they put a gas version of a lucid. Just have to fix some engine reliability issues.

[@LuisUrbieta]

If we would have chosen alternative transportation like walking taking a bicycle or perhaps taking a scooter to and from work that would be much better because cars these days yeah they're not as reliable

[@DS-wo8wr]

Chrysler has ONE vehicle…. The last 300 was made in 2023…

[@nightcookienc1767]

All of the automakers coming from Europe and Asia need to release the models they release in their respective countries….Instead of giving us all of these boring cars.

[@fultonjackwaterloo4085]

Where is Nissan?

[@alex71504]

Electrification is not the main issue for car brands. No one really cares about the EV market. What people want is affordability. I went to my local Mitsubishi and check out the Outlander. The Mitsubishi Outlander SE cost in the high 30's. The last Mitsubishi Outlander I bought was back in 2017. It was a good Car and cost me $22.5k otd imagine that.
