Ford to recall over 312,000 US vehicles over loss of power brake assist, NHTSA says 93 recalls and growing, makes one want to think twice about buying any ford / Lincoln product. Ford Surges To 93 Recalls And This Time It Forgot Something You Should Hear Drug fueled Musk is not helping Tesla with claims like this. Elon Musk Amplifies Bizarre Claim That 'Women Are Built To Be Traded' Jobs report is not good and with Stellantis taking offline numerous plants due to excessive inventory, I suspect the next few months will see even bigger job losses. Ford also just announced reductions in production due to excessive inventory of the whole F150 plus product line. Donald Trump's economy stung as jobs report falls way below expectations

That is one big suck hole on the front end to feed the motor.

Still an interesting segment that I feel has plenty of growth possible and clearly there is interest in affordable small autos.

With all the craziness currently in failed leadership, I wonder if GM will really do hybrids or if they will just wait it out with what they have in V8, Turbo 4's and EVs. Interesting times for sure. Always felt GM failed to optimize doing Hybrid when they brought out Volt 2.0, they should have then also introduced an Equinox / Terrain Hybrid then imho.

Is this the woman who recruited kids for Epstein and Trump? Seems they want to pardon her and get her out of Jail, makes me think she will then end up in a mystery death. Very Homely

Would seem Texas is seeing a ton of them as they fight along with other southern states to ban the Kei trucks and vans from being imported due to their cheap price. Due to the import price being from $6,000 to $14,000 dollars, this is why they are becoming so popular here. Buying a Kei Truck: A Step-by-Step Guide for First-Time Owners - Auto Verve This truck is local to me and I see it driven daily by the owner. According to government records, 7,594 trucks alone were imported into the US last year. Yes that is small compared to the 750,000 plus F150 trucks Ford sold last year. Yay for Kei?

I actually see a ton of Kei Trucks, Vans and Skylines driving around here on a daily basis but that also is probably due to being so much closer to the asian rim and having a very active asian auto culture here.

I figured as much but also wanted to point out that it is worse than what we had before and clearly will increase costs for Americans, not decrease anything. People who imported Skylines, KEI trucks and Vans, etc. are going to see much higher costs to get parts out of Japan now and in many cases, we will see reduced auto variety here due to the tariffs imho.

Japan and Korea have clearly stated that all Auto's EV, Hybrid, and ICE will now be shipped direct to Canada rather than into the US and trucked up north. As such, Canada is having a boom in port building to handle the increase in direct shipments to Canada. Another loss for the US and as such, Canada will get additional EVs from Kia and Ioniq's from Hyundai that we will now not get or have built here. Total destruction of America by Idiot47 who is clueless about business, growth, jobs, etc. It is too late to pull out of the Global Economy and go back to the 1950's and 60's that he calls the golden years and will redo again here in the US. We have and always will be great, but sadly we are on decline as a country with the embarrassment of the current administration and their lack of understanding business due to lemmings running things rather than people with intelligence. Yes, the incompetence of Idiot47 and his lemmings thinks 15% tariff is better than the original 10% tariff. True Morons that have no clue about business or trade deals. This makes it even worse as during the current time to allow for deals, the Tariff was 10%, but now the real facts come out as we know see that the average tariff on items from Japan was between 2 to 3 %.

Polestar has some great EVs, Sadly, the lack of being able to see the future due to stuck in the past by the Boomer idiots is going to cost the USA in a big way. This does not bode well for America as 173 farmers have declared bankruptcy this year, 63% increase over last year and a loss to the financial sector of over 563 Billion dollars and Idiot47 could care less.
