The car industry and the major step backwards
February 21st 2009 13:11
In this blog entry I was going to talk about GM and Chrysler and the state of the US car industry. Sadly though it is not just the USA, although they are feeling it the most and deservedly so! From around the world, everyday we hear of factories closing here, projects cancelled, worker layoffs and bankrupt manufacturers, it is an overall gloomy outlook for the future.
The biggest concern for Autoloud, is once this rout is all over and we are left with the survivors, what will they build? I have this growing fear that they will build cars that they feel will have mass appeal. Undoubtedly they will be safe choices for them, cars that will not polarise the buying public, cars that will guarantee a fiscal return, in other words boring! Are we to see a major step backwards to a new time of conservatism? It could be that the days of building exciting cars, is in fact, over!
When this new world arrives and it will, what will we, as consumers do? Will we embrace these vehicles or will we force them to build the cars we really want to drive?
This is coming and it is not too far in the future, make your voice heard when the time comes, tell them we want cars that can induce goose-bumps, autos that make your hair stand on end when you rev the engines.
Motor manufacturers have only just learned what happens when people don’t buy cars and trust Autoloud on this, they are not about to forget it!
