How's that?The irony of getting this lecture from a dCS Rossini owner is killing me.
Chevrolet has re-invented itself in recent years and has gone all-in on EVs as the future of the company. Their Bolt model may be the best value proposition in the EV space currently, in the US anyway. It may be different in the EU due to tariffs, etc. Or if you want something more upscale, buy a Tesla, which still represents excellent value compared to any international alternative. On reliability, I'd take either of the above over any mainstream vehicle ever made in Great Britain or Italy, to name a couple examples. German cars are overpriced and not particularly innovative anymore. A friend's expensive BMW uses a cheap plastic part in the exhaust assembly, which broke and had to be replaced.
And FYI, a lot of lower cost manufacturing for US companies has been done in Mexico for many years now. That, along with increasing automation and moving manufacturing to "business-friendly" states, is keeping the US very competitive on both price and quality.
At least it was one cheap plastic part, as opposed to ..most of the car like Tesla. BMW Suv's are exclusively made in their Mexico plant btw. And some other models for the US market as well afaik. Gb and Italy are just shooting fish in a barrel.
As for Tesla...a model S costs as much as Porsche Taycan and the build quality is not even to the standard of my Audi A5 for almost half the price. Hell, it's competitive with VW.
It's the Big Mac of luxury cars.
