Can’t imagine that anyone in America will buy a Chinese Cadillac. It’s the antithesis of the pedigree and prestige that makes other luxury brands sought after.
You would be shocked to know the Chinese content of every US assembled cars by any brand.
Is that in any way similar to anyone in the US buying a smartphone made in China?
Only if you buy 1000 smart phones.
Good luck finding a cell phone or any consumer electronics made in the US.
There is no such thing as 100% American built anymore. Some of the parts put on American cars are being outsourced from different countries. Your logic on things is something considering that a lot of things are popular are made in China.
I have an MP3 player, Cowon, IMO is far better than Ipod with better sound quality and very durable. I had it since 2013. And the company is from China, made in China. Cowon is gaining brand awareness but way more expensive than Ipod and not as popular. I am using this as an example that a lot of good quality stuff can come from China. It does not matter what it is. Vice versa for America or anywhere from the global region also, quality or junk products can happen.
I’m sure most people would not care if the car more than exceeds customer’s expectation. I will not hold my breathe if some customers think that this car is made in Detroit and bought it without looking at where it was manufactured first on the label from the door ajar.
There are in excess of 150 car brands in China and several of them have partnerships with major manufacturers. You can’t sell/manufacturer a car in China without a Chinese partner. The Chinese cars from 2008 appeared to be poor designs from the 1980’s. There were 3 Chinese brands exhibited at the Detroit auto show this year on the main floor. Design can still be somewhat unusual but quality is getting very close to major brands. They are obviously benefitting from the transfer of processes and technology from their partners. (Audi, VW, GM, Ford, Toyota…)
The Chinese brands see the electric car as an opportunity to leapfrog all major brands. They already make most of the electronics sold throughout the world including in the auto industry.
Chinese automakers are targeting the upper echelons of the U.S. car market.

I want good Amarecan quality at a reasonable price.
You must be part of the 40% of Amarecans who can’t find their country on a map.
Well, “America” (correct your spelling!) covers all the land territory in the Waestern Hemisphere of the planet, from Alaska and Canada (North America) to Chile and Argentina (South America). Thus any car you buy that is made in Canada, Mexico, argentina, Brazil, or any other nation in “America” is American. The true name of your nation is “United States”, not just “America”.
Blame the founders for creating that name. And, BTW, if you gave this nation its name based of the discoverer, we would call it “Columbia” from Columbus. Americo was a different Italian.
You’re very confused.
The North and South American continents are continents and not countries.
A car built in Canada by Toyota for example, is Canadian built by a Japanese manufacturer. It can be referred to as North American built but not American.
America specifically refers to the US.
Americans need to stop referring to the founders as if they are godlike and everything they wrote can never be questioned for eternity. If a country is to be progressive, it needs to adapt and stop looking backwards like what many do in the US.
For the deplorables to want to make America great again will lead the US back to the stone age.
“The North and South American continents are continents and not countries.”
Thereby collectively referring to people on these continents as Americas as they are from the Americas (both north and south)….in the exact same capacity as you would refer to someone from Africa as an African or a someone from Europe as a European.
If you want to know where he’s coming from, google ‘Vespucci Amerigo’; the man for which the entire landmass of the western hemisphere was named for.
“Americans need to stop referring to the founders as if they are godlike and everything they wrote can never be questioned for eternity. If a country is to be progressive, it needs to adapt and stop looking backwards like what many do in the US.”
I would suggest the same questioning toward the university culture and the legacy media. I for one, have a negative opinion of Hamilton.
If the left looks at the reality of the deep state and stops being foolishly baited by the media, positive things can happen.
I’ll give two examples to look up: Gary Webb’s reports on the international drug trade, and widely reported State dept facilitating conflict in Libya, Syria, Ukraine.
It depends on what you call a “reasonable price”. What is your salary Rye? What wages , and working conditions would you work, and not work for? Do you want company sponsored health care , a pension plan, or 401K plan?
The big rush to Mexico by everyone from Audi to Mazda to Ford, and 1000 other companies is directly related to LOW corporate taxes, wages, no health coverage for employees, or retirement plans. The average wage for a Mexican auto assembly line worker is $3.25-$3.75 an hour. and they are REQUIRED to work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Is that Mazda, or Lincoln, any cheaper that the ones assembled in America, or Japan? Hell no! It’s called corporate greed…….
Cadillac said that their CT6 factory in China in a copy of the US facility and the only reason they decided to build all of the Plug-in hybrid CT6 in China was that Cadillac estimated higher sales; although, one has to think that if Democrats and Liberal elite who love their Toyota Prius was willing to support the home team by buying the CT6 PHEV then Cadillac may consider building the CT6 hybrid in the US as well.
You want me to trade-in my high quality Japanese built Prius (30K) for a 100K Chinese car built with sub-standard parts by a Chinese partner with Chinese labour. Home team?
Japan’s suppliers manage their costs by using $3/hr Indian labor. They are also strongly economic protectionists, to the point foreign manufacturers won’t try. In the States here, I find it odd some consumers reject any sentiment to balance reciprocity and protection in trade. And quality isn’t the issue it was 30 years ago.
The CT6 PHEV is way more sophisticated than any Prius which is far from comparable. Also, any luxury car with this much technology on it has a greater chance of repairs and maintenance, but does not mean that they can’t be reliable. I have seen few Priuses that had customers stranded on the side of the road, but in fairness, they were couple of generation old models.
Is the CT6PHEV only offered in RWD ? These are a niche product and probably won’t sell in great numbers . I don’t know just what segment of the population they are targeting . GM said a while back that it wasn’t feasible to build them here because the bigger sales would be in China , so they would build them there .
I know some Millenials that are into saving the enviroment much more than the Boomers are but they aren’t about to buy a Cadillac at $75,000+ even with government subsidies plus this group is very patriotic and an assembled in China label on the sticker price on the window will turn them away .
You can’t say that it doesn’t matter where it’s assembled anymore especially in the current political atmosphere we find ourselves .
The consumer isn’t as mis-informed as some may think , most are aware of the content mix of parts that are built in other countries that are in a car , and it sometimes boils down to the percentage of those parts built outside the U.S that matter . It’s all right there on the sticker for all to see .
There are a bunch of manufacturers that rely on those cheap parts they buy to keep their businesses open and people employed here at home and most are small companies / businesses . However cars are different mainly because it’s the second biggest purchase for people after their house , so the point of assembly matters .
Modern assembly plants require a fraction of the people they used to have. If plants were to return, robots who do most of the work, not people.
hand built would result in better quality…..the Acura NSX is more hand than rest of the Acuras and I wish all future Acuras will be built the same way the NSX is.
