Kia Surpasses Ford

I hope I never have to use that word, when someone asks, "What do you drive?"

thanks to your local union.. the big 3 are about done.
unions stood by and watched the steel industry removal, they had their day but eventually ruined everything.

Whatever they bring in the country tariff the it. I have a feeling the domestic manufactures are trying to bring their manufacturing of parts to this side of the bordor.
I've noticed OEM parts that I commonally buy went up in price quite a bit because they're coming from Mexico and Canada. For example some Ford diesel injectors come from Canada and they went up well over $100 each, injector harnesses doubled in cost. So I can see the tariff's in effect.

yeah, true. Not picking a fight but the Asian brands are pretty legit about what they make in the US being 50+% percent US or whatever, as they get audited on it. Chevy pickups have almost as much non US content. Not a guess at that- someone got a hold of the actual Federal Gov't docs for that, back around Covid time, and Chevy trucks were, already then, running a high foreign content. Bet it hasn't gotten any better.

- They big thing is still the executive and R&D is over there.... those are really good jobs, and single digit percent of each corporation are here.

Get this- I used to work for Mazda. I was just informed Mazda in Canada is dropping the CX50 for up here, because as an American-made car, the tariffs Canadian Liberal government has put in place make it unsalabley expensive.
Stupid stupid stupid.

I had a GF who was self destructive (cutting her arms, etc) and it is terrifying to see our entire country at the mercy of some POS politician who's mind seems to operate the same way.

Some of you guys must believe tariffs are innately good. We need to remain aware that a "Tariff" is nothing but another federal tax scheme taking your hard earned money by increasing the of cost everything it's levied on.
 
Buddy has a Kia SUV he bought used from the Kia dealership. It's a 2011 and he's had it for several years and really likes it. He recently noticed the rear subframe was rusting away so he started checking on replacing it. Turns out there was a recall on it and it was supposed to be painted or coated but was never done. Dealer stood behind it and fixed it no charge under warranty. Pretty impressive service I'd say.

You can all hate on KIA as much as you want that's your perogative.

I'm just gonna go on enjoying life because although some of you trolls may have forgotten the basics of owning a car?

I believe, If ya can't tune, tweek or race the fucking things...then why bother owning them ?

And no real car guy is gonna look at my rig and go oooohhhhhh what a piece of Korean poooooooh...

Oh wait
