Your sacrificial lamb

[the Teuton]

Suppose you have all of the auto industry at your disposal.  What brand would you kill that isn't yet on its deathbed and why?

You are not allowed to kill these, as they've already been put on watch:
-Mercury
-Saab
-Hummer
-Pontiac
-Saturn
-Buick
-GMC
-Chrysler
-Dodge
-And anything else put on deathwatch by the auto industry as we know it.

[Payman]

Saturn.   

[Eye of the Tiger]

Kia

it's like Hyundai, except nobody likes it

[93JC]

A four-way tie between Honda, Toyota, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

[the Teuton]

Saturn.   

[Onslaught]

I don't see much of a need for Mercury or Lincoln for that matter.

Tell you the truth, I wouldn't care if any of the ones on the list died. Other than the fact that the people who for for them would be fucked.

[sandertheshark]

Killing Toyota, Honda and Nissan would be a viable alternative to my plan to bomb Japan again.

[Onslaught]

If I could kill an import then it would be Mitsubishi

[the Teuton]

I'm going to go with Mitsubishi.  With the exception of the Evo, the brand is useless.  None of their cars feel special, and they all feel cheap, they're not really competitive, and they're just kind of a waste of space.

[jadewolf123]

Citroen, or any french car company. Bunch of wankers.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I like Mitsubishi. WTF.

[the Teuton]

Truth be told, my number 2 right now is VDub.  I just can't really see anything I like in their lineup right now.  They need to bring over some ultra economical car or something soon.  Right now, they're like Mitsubishi with better interiors.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I like VW. WTF.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Subaru is pretty useless. They need to bring over some ultra economical car or something soon. Enough with the damn flat-four tractor engines, gas-sucking all-wheel-drive, shitty interiors, and lesbians.

You're a lesbian.

[Laconian]

Isuzu. If that's too obvious, than Suzuki. If/when Suzuki finally brings the Swift here I might change my mind, but otherwise I couldn't care less if they went bye-bye.

[Onslaught]

I like Mitsubishi. WTF.

I think of them as the ass crack of Japan.

[MrH]

Everyone is going to think I'm crazy, but I'm going to go for it...

Chevrolet.  The only thing that remotely interests me is the Corvette.  The rest of the line up doesn't appeal to me at all.

[Byteme]

Hummer.

A monument to conspicuous consumption that no one needs

[Eye of the Tiger]

Isuzu. If that's too obvious, than Suzuki. If/when Suzuki finally brings the Swift here I might change my mind, but otherwise I couldn't care less if they went bye-bye.

Suzuki makes cars?

[MX793]

I think Isuzu is in their final year, if they're not gone already.

I'd agree with Suzuki.  Other than the Grand Vitara and SX4, everything else they sell in America is just a POS Daewoo rebadge.  Can't say I'd miss them.

[SVT666]

Hummer.

[2o6]

Isuzu's been out of the Passenger car market since 2005, IIRC. They make stellar commercial vehicles, though.




Buick shouldn't go..........it's a cash cow in china.

Hummer and Mercury should go. The rest (except Lincoln) IMO should shrink, maybe producing four different models, tops.

[sandertheshark]

Really, I don't want any car brand to go.  I want some of the dead ones to come back.  I like to have choices, dammit!

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Volvo! Their line up puts me to 

[Rupert]

Since Isuzu is pretty much gone, that's too obvious. I'd say Kia, because Hyundai is the same but better. I want more of the European cars to be here, not less, and the American brands that I would eliminate are already on that list.

[Submariner]

A four-way tie between Honda, Toyota, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

What's so bad about any of them?

As for me:

Kia, because their cars blow, and not a single car in their lineup is attractive in the least.

Saturn, because all of their cars blow, and they haven't turned a profit, evar?

[the Teuton]

Trust me when I say this:  You will like the Kia Soul.  It's really nice for a $15,000 box.

I hate all of those stupid fucking hipster boxes.  Every person I see driving one is either a balding middle aged man, or some ricer wannabe with neon's and 15 inch spinners.

I like two boxy vehicles, the G-class and the Defender series (and the Isuzu Trooper...I have a soft spot for them) every other box out there should be lit on fire.
