Auto Bailout DE-NIED

[HateTheFake]

One of the reasons the U.S Auto Industry is fucked is the outdated engineering and manufacturing techniques.
THe American car makers have always had a "flexible" quality control system. In the past this has been well disguised by the skill and knowledge of the factories. Due to the changes in employment trends, the incompetent QC systems are being exposed.

There are many reason how they fucked themselves. But not limited to:
1- Oil companies paying off dealers to not produce fuel efficient cars
2- Oil companies buying off patents for fuel efficient engines/vehicles
3- Not foreseeing a trend and anticipating it

why is it risky...takes 100000 miles to break in a diesel engine

[Jerome Scuggs]

yes, but you have concerns with the chassis, body, etc... in an old toyota, i'm sure it'd have tons of underbody rust, just for starters... they're trucks, and i'm sure routine and regular maintenance isn't a high priority for most truck owners.

i don't think it breaks down along those lines at all. a good truck is a good truck. toyota's always made decent pickup trucks, and i see more pre-1980's datsuns than I do pre-1980 fords. i'd prefer anything over a ford ranger, the f-150 is a good pickup but the toyota tundra is pretty beast, what with the fuckin' custom headers that come stock and all.

i'm still a fan of my chevy, though. $
