“Wish GM or Ford would make a small, gasoline, normally-aspirated rugged economy car with no electronics... something EMP- proof. Market it as such.
Would be a smash.”

India would be the party that makes these in India and exports to the USA. Same as their Mahindra tractors and farm equipment that they advertised on Rush Limbaugh show.

GM and Ford will make higher tech automobiles, there is more profit in them. But same as you I would love such a car. Like ye old pinto or vega but fuel injected. EMP proofed!

“there is more profit in them.” Until they won’t be able to produce them because they will not work with our grid. Not now, not ever, without a petroleum based energy system which the liberals are trying to destroy. THEN they will come back to the American people and demand to be bailed out. But the American Economy will no longer be able to do that, so bye bye GM and Ford.

What would control your fuel injection--a mechanical link or an electronic one?

While I appreciate the sentiment, I think the old mechanical injectors would be grossly inefficient, based on today's standards. You'd want to go electronic, and that would eventually mean bringing a chip into it.

That vehicle couldn’t be Federalized, between the EPA and NHTSA-the electronics are used for pollution control and safety.

Ford does sell the Maverick compact pickup which starts at $25K...and is already sold out for 2023!
