    Depends on how competitive the industry is. The US only has two major auto makers left (I’m not counting tesla) and are mainly losing out to foreign car makers, which are also just a few that sell in the US. You cut out a significant chunk of competition in an area that you only have other large entities that will fill the roll (no one can start mass producing cars all of a sudden).

    Then it’s like cell service. You only get 3 options and they’re all expensive. You don’t get a new one that comes in. Only the existing ones get bigger and have less competition.

      Did GM, Ford, or Chevy stop making cars?

      Edit: I see, GM bought Chevy. When the hell did that happen? I’m guessing 2008…

        While we’re on it, Stellantis owns Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Maserati, now.

        Generally speaking, everything they touch turns to crap quality, IMO. I’d never buy anything from them without counting on it being a money pit.

        Really, only about a dozen or so auto manufacturers exist that own like 50 brands.
