Fiat was owned by the Italian governement, likewise Renault by the French. Using either as an example of free market business is moot. I do have experience with these cars in the States. Fiat was generally not able to take the pounding of distance driving, Renault was impossible to fix due to propriatary and (French) governmental restrictions on parts, and Peugot simply weren't numerous enough to bother with.
False. Both Fiat and Renault were owned at some point by the governemnts of their respective origin.
Not at all. I am very pleased with the position in which DC has placed itself, particularly the Chrysler division. It is notable that DC and Chrysler in particular are well off financially, doing more business than previous years, and having a better balanced line of product. This is not a coincidence. Further, I am not complaining about free market economy, nor am I complaining about "foreign" vehicles cruising our highways. Indeed, I believe compebreastion makes for a better vehicle.
However, as I stated in my original reply, the OP wasn't worried about company profit or quality, but the fact that DC vehicles were heavy, and thus less efficient than other brands. Somehow, even though I pointed it out, you missed that in the original post.
No argument here. However their reply isn't particularly about the companies, but the welfare of the nation as a whole.
Built like a Mercedes 3669Perhaps you think that is a real pounding, but reality tells me that use in the States can be very harsh to a car that isn't designed here in the States. Like...
The problem is obviously on your end, where you think that such jobs would render someone unable to see through your inept reply.
