Piston Slap: Norwegian Longroof Reformism?

TTAC Commentator Sjalabais writes:

Dear Sajeev,

I am and have always been a car guy. Since I am an academic with two left hands and sausage fingers, my flavour have been indestructible 70s Volvos, of which I have owned a couple.

Now I am a father and a bit cash-strapped, with the need for an occasional 7 seater. A Volvo V70 with rear facing extra seats has been voted down in the household assembly, I am thus looking for a blob-shaped car. My location is Norway, but my issue is recognisable for any car guy in this situation, I fear.

John Born in Detroit, with nearly everyone in my family involved in the auto industry. I've watched these kinds of dynamics for over 60 years and - not surprisingly - nothing's changed in regards to the auto industry's business culture or world perspective. Hard-core lobbying to impose 100% tariffs is yet another sadly tiring response to willing ignorance and unfounded arrogance the still pervades Ford, GM, and Stellantis. When they suddenly wake up to find their business is on fire - and not in a good way - they blame everyone but themselves. If they actually wanted to provide the world with the best, highest value products, then they actually need to do the work! Frankly, it's embarrassing to watch. Stellantis is feeling the pain right now, and Ford is right behind. And I would bet a dollar GM is not exactly looking at the brightest near-future. Yeah, they are way behind, and it's their own doing - again! Open the floodgates and let's duke it out! That should reawaken what was once upon a time an American industry that was envied around the world. Not a collection of whining losers.
