    They’re a Japanese brand known for cheap, reliable, sensible cars, do they expect loyalty from the Make America Great Again crowd?

      Except in North America, where a huge focus is on trucks. Just look at how some dipshit chud in Twitter got them to scrub a ton of their LGBT and DEI stuff by posting about their “woke” trucks when their did a pride flag Tacoma. They desperately want to take that market share as it’s far, far more profitable than stuff like the Camry.

      I wouldnt be surprised if MAGAts buys more overseas than the average American. Their whole merch is made in Asia.

        Buying overseas isn’t something kind of moral failure lmao bluMAGA. Who else but the skidoo dealership owner who drops 1K to fly to DC on J6 is paying 50K+ for a working class affect?

            1. If the MAGAts do buy foreign, that’s not an effective line of attack, trying to out-nationalist the fascists by attacking them for buying foreign goods is depressingly in-line for libs whose only disagreement with Trump is aesthetic.

            2. If MAGAts aren’t buying the overpriced pick-ups Ford and GM are churning out, who is?

              I didnt try to attack them for buying foreign, maybe I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant Toyota being a Japanese brand would make it unattractive for them, thats what I was commenting on.

        Oh. My '06 Solara is still running so I haven’t had to actually compare brands in 15 years.

        I don’t think I’ll be buying another car when it finally finishes shitting the bed, but if I have to it’ll probably be a Honda. Those are still more reliable than anything american or euro at the same price-point right?

          Sorry, deleted my comment because I didn’t want to get into a war with anyone about MSRP vs Dealer pricing.

          Honda has been pretty good for years. I’ve seen scuttlebutt of people saying certain models, like the Civic, have dropped the ball lately but I cannot verify that.

          I bought a Subaru Forester recently and it’s my first Subaru. LOVE it. I posted my pros in a comment above. My only con is the stupid large touch screen and the shitty software running it. I think that’s true of pretty much most brands lately though.
