GM would not allow Holden to export, Toyota exported as did Ford and Mitsubishi at one time there might have been a market in countries nearby. We'll never know.

** Making and kitting all the parts in China then shipping them to Europe for assembly has to be a heck of a big expense per vehicle. There might be another reason for that - China's slowing economy and high unemployment rates. The kitting will keep Chinese people employed but its expensive for the government to prop that type of operation up to keep people employed, especially for generic parts like sheet metal and plastic parts. ** Nissan and Bankruptcy (or 'administration' for some) - Not sure how bankruptcy works in Japan, but if here in the USA that might be their better path as they could easily restructure their USA operations and get new financing. Those situations usually see the leadership vanquished and operations drastically consolidated to keep the profitable parts of the company. From what you have in the video Honda may just take over Nissan's electric car operations (the Leaf car here in the USA).

Actually wrong interpretation of that. In America consumers will say they want a low-cost smaller vehicle, but they actually buy larger vehicles with lots of features in them.

Smallish cars, small economical engines, low cost, but after good initial sales the sales volume slumped and the Scion cars were discontinued.

The low end of the market isn't people who want small cars, it's people who can only afford cheap stripped down automobiles so they can get to their shitty job and pay the rent. The Toyota Corolla was introduced in the 1960s - it was small, it was stripped down, it was reliable and durable and it became one of the best selling cars in the world and the US and is still regularly in the top 5. People love the Chevy Bolt and was one of GMs best selling vehicles despite it's crappy range before they canned it because the margins were too small.

Those EU tariffs also go down the fewer subsidies Chinese automakers build and should more or less go away if Chinese automakers build factories in Europe.

All EU and US legacy automakers are in trouble but the US automakers are in fare worse trouble than the EU ones since I don't see the Trump administration doing anything like that what the EU seems to be doing, they'll harp on uncompromisingly about MAGA, "My way or the highway!!", "America FIRST!!" and suffer the consequences ... except Tesla, they'll probably be the only US car brand that will survive this.

Tesla's market share is collapsing in the Global Majority countries with 90% of humanity. I see tesla dealers being supplanted by chinese brands in SE Asia, which has nearly 1-billion ppl and is now the world's 2nd largest car market by unit sales. Tesla will end up as US-only, small and overpriced and uncompetitive.

Hey, take your time and actually plan you episodes start to finish, its not enough to just talk into the camera for a few minutes, because that forces whoever has the job to edit them to combine the videos to get somewhere near to 10 minutes.
Why do these manufacturers continually produce models not really wanted.

Cars they cant sell? Really?? You are telling me that after doubling the price of the "regular worker's car" makes it unaffordable.. Wow, i guess reality is still the same after all, its car makers that got out of control..
