    Well, we’ve artificially inflated the price of steel, electronics and consumable resources like fuel and electricity required to build cars in the US. I can’t imagine that we would even be competitive building anything right now.

      Don’t forget years of short sighted manufacturing enabled by the insane dealership system.

      And, I guess enough research and development to realize that you’re a decade or so behind the competition.
