When will American cars be American again, and not copies of tiny plastic chink-mobiles?

shush, the american /pol/ack must not know that globalism isn't a worldwide communistic jewish plot to destroy the white race but rather the direct result of the USA treating half the planet as their vassals and exporting everything they can, defacing local cultures in the process and growing the corporate elite that has now bloated out of proportion across the globe.

Importing everything they can actually while exporting brands and intellectual property. The US have one of the most service sector based economies in the world.

Old American cars were awful. The car in OP is one of those that contributed to the entire American auto industry being taken as a joke.

People who like these cars are also the ones who think they can bomb others into liking them, that carbon emissions have no effect on the atmosphere, and that oil is infinite and will be cheap again if you simply pump enough of it.

There are more to these cars than what you see. They are beautiful, but the whole design philosophy is different and hasn't been seen in a luxury car for a long time. New luxury cars focus too much on performance than actual comfort. They are "sporty", but that's not what I want when I buy a luxury car, I want raw comfort, which the boat era of the 60s and 70s lived and breathed. The soft and plush bench seating, the suspension so soft you feel as if you were driving a cloud, power steering so over-assistive you can drive with only a pinky. You may not get anywhere fast, but you are so comfortable you won't want to anyway. New luxury cars (and new cars in general) are plastic pieces of junk with low grade, uncomfortable seating. They are no more than a giant rolling ipad. They are shit for cruising down the American highway.

All of the design philosophy in these cars can be emulated without having to be inefficient or waste resources. However, new automakers are more interested in designing a car that has the latest chinese spyware tablet device built in than designing a platform that feels comfortable and luxurious to drive.

These cars were awful in every way. Calling them luxury is an insult to actual luxury cars.

I can guarantee to you that a new luxury car from anywhere else is more comfortable than anything the USA have ever produced. There's more to comfort than wallowing suspension (with solid axles no less which SUCK for comfort) and overstuffed grandparent sofas for seats. Hell, a 30 y/o European luxury car is probably more comfortable than that thing.

>luxury changed from classy design and good road feel to wi-fi internet and seat defroster

>has no idea what he's talking about

They didn't have good road feel, they wallowed and rolled like a pig in shit. The seats were bottom tier garbage with no support, plush doesn't make for comfort.

They're classy like a sleazy used salesman in a cheap suit.

They are a joke.

>All of the design philosophy in these cars can be emulated without having to be inefficient or waste resources.
No.
Luxury is by its own nature a waste of ressources. That's the point. Efficient luxury makes about as much sense as affordable luxury : it will bring nothing but half-measures.
Also
>cars are no longer focusing on comfort
Last time someone who isn't Rolls Royce tried that, we gor the Citroën C6 and look what happened to it.
The market has changes, the major carmakers have no reason to produce things that have no customer base and will never bring any form of profit.

Sure these old cars are not fast, efficient, safe, etc.

But they are fun to drive, fun to work on, gain or keep value, attention grabbers, and they are works of art when cars were assembled and designed mostly by hand. Just owning one, shitbox or not, makes one feel proud to have a 1-in-a-million car.

Fantastic.

>a 1-in-a-million car
That's like, the polar opposite of what happened, unless you're talking about pre-war coachbuilders and single orders, and you aren't.
Do you even fordism bro?

That is simply being pedantic. Of course luxury is a "waste of resources". If your concern is saving the maximum amount of resources, I suggest you stop posting on this website as that is a greater waste of resources than any of these cars were.
>The market has changes, the major carmakers have no reason to produce things that have no customer base and will never bring any form of profit.
The market does change, and so does the consumer. That is the part that makes me sad. The likelihood that cars like the old American cars ever being produced again a slim to none. Doesn't mean I can't hope and shitpost about it.

Just save up and get a Maybach, these things hold their value like a fucking calinder.
And they are possibly the closest we've gotten to full-on luxury yacht-on-wheels in the last two decades.

No companies likely aren't going to start making bad cars on purpose.

Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Maybach are still at it and do it better than America ever did if you want luxury.

I drive one.

Rides like a cloud, seats are comfy as shit, and everything is just smooth operating from the way the key turns, to the way the windows roll down, it's elegance personified.

You're free to think what you want even if it's wrong.

This guy gets it

You don't need soft ass barge suspension for comfort, to feel like you're driving on a cloud, and to absorb bumps.

After the Germans lose again in WWIII and the rest of the world is a pile of cinders and bricks and crying for America to sell them stuff again.

That didn't happen after WW2. I mean, what were they supposed to pay with, cinders and bricks? The economic boom and cheap consumer products were simply the result of an overabundance of production facilities after half a decade of tax funded large scale war manufacturing.

and the Marshall Plan

Which amounted to about the same value as giving a bum a quarter. In today's money a fifth of what the US government alone spent on bank bailouts a decade ago.

Never, seeing as the market for those sorts of cars is dying as quickly as the people that buy them.

American cars finally look great, if you'd rather have an old caddy because it matches your fedora better, go ahead but don't force your disgusting taste on the rest of us

It's called a truck. The crew cab short box is the new luxury boat. Luxury sedans are primarily bought by rich Asians so they design the cars to reflect that and appeal to them. They only buy the car for the badge and don't really care if the inside is plastic, That goes for luxury car buyers in general.
