In reply to the discussion: Chinese automakers want to come to US. They could be here fairly soon [View all]Callie1979
(1,235 posts)40. Abandoning the smaller car mkt has pissed me off too. I prefer 2 door coupes.
I'm tall so I've always preferred a 2 door.
If I buy American 2 doors now, it's gonna be a hot rod; Challenger, Mustang. And for a "regular" coupe, it's gonna pretty much only be a Honda. Toyota & Nissan is gonna be a Lexus & Infiniti; much more expensive
Monte Carlo is gone. Grand Prix is gone. Even my 2 door Hyundai was only made 2 yrs.
Thats irritates me but it's the market that forced it; all the "keeping up with the Joneses" types who HAVE to have Yukon to take Jimmy & Megan to soccer because all the OTHER wives have one. Or bearded tattooed Butch who HAS to have the full sized elevated Silverado because it's the only way to stay masculine.

I know, but Ford has leaned on protectionist policies like all of the other American car manufacturers.

I'm guessing that and anticipated tariffs is why you can't go to a showroom and buy one today.
