I’d burn cars too if the local cars were Renaults, Peugeots or Citroens. French cars are terrible.
They’re pretty good cars now, great engines. Everybody world wide has the same computer driven tools, methods, controls. Defect rates from the smallest component to sub and full assemblies are minimal, and carefully tracked. Cars are commodities now, like detergent. New cars are pretty much for establishing/maintaining brand identity, much like this years new sneakers.
