Some of y'all have some very valid concerns about the potiential hurdles a new foreign car maker have to overcome when entering the US market - let's concentrate the debates in one single topic... :thumb:
I'll throw a few out first:
- US consumer's loyalty to domestic brands can't be cracked.
* FALSE. Toyota is outselling Fords in many of the months this year, and had already pass Chrysler a while back. Imports outsell Domestics as a whole too.
- It's impossible for a new brand to crack the market, look at Daewoo and Yugo!
* FALSE. Look at Kia and Hyundai. Good product, sound startegy, and low prices will always prevail.
- Too much good used cars on the market, which means no one will buy an unproven new car from a new brand.
* FALSE. Look at Kia and Hyundai.
I can go on and on, but please share your thoughts!
