Americans are at it againLet's talk about the diesel scandal: Americans can't make a good small diesel engine. Not to mention they can't make a good small car. So when Toyota overtakes them suddenly all Toyotas have the acceleration pedal stuck and it's a SCANDAL of epic proportions keeping GM on top. So when VW overtakes them suddenly we find out they are cheating on emissions tests (designed specifically to keep them out) - GM stays on top Let's talk about particulate emissions and how the BIG Cummings diesel engine is LEGAL in America and how 15 million trucks burning diesel are LEGAL in America but a small 2 liter VW is not that one that has to emit squeaking clean air and have a separate urea tank and whatnot. because obviously the American made diesel engines and the trucks pollute a DIFFERENT atmosphere. So I wonder what BMW got right this time, found a niche in a market where the American car makers no longer want to make cars?

hey scotty the cry wolf kilmer theyre not engineered in mexico, just built, assembled, you know put together. your parts and engineering are all american. so essentially theyre american. its called engineered self destruction you know for financial gains. you actually think the gm and ford heads of quality control are not some white boys down at the mexican plants. you better believe they do the quality checks themselves, heck im sure it is even remote algorythmic statistical computed checks. straight from some guys office whenever they want through the nets. its their public company baby theyre not just going to turn their back on that. just to let know straight from the dealers on the lot stickers that toyota builds many cars and transmissions in mexico riiiight.

the only reason efi is better than carbs isnt the computer, its the presurized system that keeps the fuel passages cleaner longer. no other reason. if efi wasnt electronic but mechanical and with electronic ignition, it could be just as reliable as all the computer stuff claims to be, but not just at first, but until the jets wear out from the gas flow like the colorado river wore out the grand canyon. ya, mech fi has been done before and not as good but im sure if the brains put their time into it, it would improve more than efi could ever. unless its like the old 88 civic efi and ignition et all. still, please take out all the un needed extra crap that only boosts the costs and not the cost effectiveness.

Even the cars that were built to last will need new parts eventually, and there are only so many cannibalised parts to go round. The only thing that will save collectors' cars of any make, model or year will be the commodification of 3D printing. When rubber, plastic, and metal 3D printers get good and cheap enough to be sold at the likes of Harbor Freight, or at least enough to exist in a workshop somewhere in every other town, all you'll need to keep your car running is the digital file for the part you're looking to print. That will breathe new life into some of the worthier endless money pits too. People like what they like.

Scotty says adios to Mexican made stuff, but - every vehicle on the planet has overseas parts in it. Check out the F-150 for instance, the engine is made in one location, the trans another, frames another ect. Even if it says made in USA, many of the parts come from different locations around the world. If you're in an accident in a modern car, you have an 80% better chance of surviving compared to pld hard steel boats that Scotty loves. New car bodies are made to collapse upon impact while the cabin is made to survive in one piece. You run head on into a permanent structure with an old car, you're adios

Hey Scotty Have you ever seen the Great Big Diamond Heist Movie by Guy Ritchie? Snatch, what are you waiting for, ZZ Germans? My Freightliner was made down in Mexico. They couldnt get the parts for my truck. They were backed up 6000 vehicles because they couldnt get the parts. My truck was Parked in a field for months waiting for the parts. Maybe my mold problem started there. I once had a Freightliner years ago with a Mercedes motor. Engine was Great but everything else broke on a regular basis. Trying to hang in there. Thnx, CJ

There is no money in making products that last. The old Electrolux company use to build vacuum cleaners that were simple and lasted forever. And if they broke you could fix them. That company didn't make it. Today the name is used for plastic crap that breaks and isn't repairable. Mercedes Benz use to make simple cars with a reputation of being overengineered that lasted forever. Mercedes Benz went bankrupt in the early '90s. There is no money in building good products that last.

I don't see how CVT transmissions are going to survive. The one tear down I saw showed a device that relied on friction to transfer the power. Friction will erode the surfaces. The worn surfaces are going to increase tolerances. The wider tolerances will promote slippage. More slippage will promote more wear and thus failure. I'd be very surprised that CVT transmissions will last past 50, 000 miles.

Well said on the uselss tech and plastic stuff in cars now days but having to cost 30, 000 and up but not even worth the price like good god so many be getting sucked thinking more tech in cars means it's better when it's not. They remove basic stuff in car from a manual parking break to electric I'm not even going to get into why that whole thing is bad
