Just got off phone with dealer

They need to be especially with their failure rates.

>As for the Mazda compression ignition engine
Why is Mazda always trying to do so many things? They tried rotary engines. Capacitor energy storage. Fuel cells. And now this compression ignition concept. And of course the chinese will save a ton of money by just copying it because selling it is where the money is made.

>One for turning airbags into anti personnel mines.
It's technically a chinese owned company. It divested a lot of its assets to protect them from lawsuits and then transferred the core intellectual property and other assets it couldn't legally divest into new chinese company ownership to force a legal technicality break in the paper trail.

>The other for making sub standard steel for cars.
The lawsuit is filed against chinese metal suppliers for supplying bad metal alloys to Japan.

You know how dealerships work right? The manufacture can't have direct control over the dealership and dealerships are independently operated.

Im a total fan of GM but i love Mazda for trying new shit they keep stepping up the game of their competitors

Yours would be the exception then, most dealerships employ salesmen who know as much about a car as the homeless man across the street from the dealership.

Because when you patent shit, and other legit non chink companies needs to use that tech later on becuase their R&D fell through, then they can charge then X amount per vehicle.

You know why a lot of Chinese automakers can't sell out side china? Because they would get their asses handed to them in copyright infringements if they tried to.

That's why Tesla still has a lot of problems selling in many USA states due to the state laws. But lobbyists keep on getting exemptions as legislators see the light (chinese led light no doubt) or get some tesla payola under the table.

>This.
>It’s funny how many cars and parts from foreign manufacturers are “outsourced” to America and then sold as “foreign” cars.
>If an American car company actually brought their manufacturing back to the US we could probably compete against them AND slap a hecho en USA sticker on it.

How do you plan to combat the massive price increases that come from manufacturing in the US? It's nigh impossible to continue selling a product at a reasonable price when the manufacturing transfers to USA

>How do you plan to combat the massive price increases that come from manufacturing in the US?
That's why the USA should lower the minimum wage to $1 per hour in all states. And make it mandatory that a state cannot require a company to give benefits to employees. By making it this way for ALL companies in the usa, that creates a fair and level playing field for companies to compete with Chinese businesses and their low-priced products.

All those salaries and benefit packages currently required by law for usa employees raises the product prices. That's why if you want the usa to compete with chinese prices, you have to lower the cost of production by a huge amount.

Continual Innovation is good. I like seeing a healthy attitude towards taking risk in developing new ideas to keep ICE useful and efficient in cars. I just get nervous about anything that is "high compression" though as it always implies non-leaky piston rings and a less forgiving engine environment.
