I think point is more

Top trim Japanese always were missing equipment and refinement
But what's different now is the Japanese reliability looks American:

- RAV4 Hybrid/Venza/Prius/NX Battery Cable: 6-10k repair out of warranty, still happening with revised part
- Tundra turbo blow up
- Mazda 2.5T in CX50 require new valves, CX5 oil consumption
- Honda 1.5T dilution and head studs/gasket (esp in Accord)
- Honda/Acura J35 rod bearing in last gen TLX/MDX
- Honda/Acura ZF9 failures

So for some Japanese buyers, they get great resale value but poor major powertrain reliability, poor in car infotainment/features, uncomfortable seats, bad chassis balance?

-Chrysler has Mercedes chassis with reliable ZF8, worked out most issues with Pentastar 3.6 and 5.7 V8.
-BMW has reliable ZF8, B48/58 aren't majorly problematic.
-Ford has fixed their 10 speed, Ecoboost 6 cyls and 5.0 mostly reliable.
-Hyundai/Kia/BMW/MB figured out the EV thing

I thought all the Germans are discontinuing their evs due to shit sales and unions. Mb eq got axed, no one is buying taycan, ix. Id is so shit they paused production and going broke.

On Germany, their economy has hella structural problems. Their strong unions aren't gonna like change but it's gonna happen when GDP is dropping, cheap eastern Euro labour ain't so cheap, they've lost cheap energy, etc.

On MB, their next gen EVs will just BE the "S class".
EQS/EQE/whatever were branding so that any shitty first prototypes didn't affect mainline reputation.
Looking up their platform cancellation, they're refining their current EQS platform, not doing an all new one.

On BMW, they will keep their flexible architecture (ICE / Plug-in / EV) while slowly phasing in EV specific platforms (iX, Neue Klasse, etc).

On VW, they're just low key fucked lol. Can't build hardware, can't built software, can't build services, have no self driving tech, etc.
Their potential saving grace is investment in solid state batteries but for now, GM is kicking their ass.

Low key, parts of the future are already here.
Any cancellation just means they're pushing back full electrification from 2030 to like 2035-40.

- 25k USD EV (Equinox)
- 10-15 minute rest stop with 80% recharge on Ioniq (230kW charging), we have 5-10 minutes already (VW/GM 350kW charging) and Solid State on the horizon (500kW)
- Charging stations at each gas station (many in US have both Tesla, Electrify America, AND gas)
- Hella savings compared to gas
