Yeah, shitty cars like the Toyota Corolla or Hilux.

I'm sorry but when I hear someone call the Hilux shit, I must mention that the Hilux is almost indestructible and incredibly reliant as a truck. And we've seen it take such abuse and still have it's engine run. (Top Gear anyone?)

Tesla's problem is not US manufacturing, it is setting crazy goals without much regard for quality.

As quality as you can get for American automotive manufacturing. Would rather have a Japanese made one of either.Tesla's problem is not US manufacturing, it is setting crazy goals without much regard for quality.
So manufacturing. Which is what I said.

Well you aren't a real socialist. Just a sociopath disguised as one.
Not to mention that this thread split off from LWDT, so I assumed you would think this thread was a "revisionist hellhole".

The 500 was not a replacement for the Crown Vic. It was specifically a replacement for the Taurus which was discontinued in 2006 for consumers, and 2007 for fleet buyers. Didn't stop em from bringing the name plate back almost immediately after refreshing the 500. I'm still a bit amazed that Ford managed to turn the slow and droll 500 into something that actually looks passable as a car. And then turned it into something like the Chrysler 300, but without the prestige/presence. (tbh both cars need a fresh design)
Remember the Crown Vic was kept around for more than a few years after the Taurus was killed, and then brought back again.
For that matter the Fusion stepped in to fill the new mid-size void left by the Taurus moving up. If Ford was indeed planning to replace the CV with the 500... I question their sanity with that move.

It's not the apocalypse, it's just the turn of an era.
