Honda absolutely has a chance. They’ve got one of the best names in automaking, huge industrial capacity, and also huge capital. They just want to get bailed out like every other car company does rn.

they're also not exclusive to cars, they make a lot of nonsense too
That’s also true lmao I forgot about that

It's not you they're talking to. The whole point of this statement is to fear-monger and get the government to give these assholes huge subsidies to "compete", except these subsidies will go straight to the shareholders.
Make no mistake, it's just grifters trying to get the last bit of juice before they declare "yeah we're bankrupt, cheerios"

What are they angling for, a bailout? Tariffs?
Didn't another big auto CEO say something similar recently?

Make like tire dust and get into my lungs and waterways, bub.
Fuck cars.
ill allow it since they're also building high-speed rail everywhere and pumping out electric cars over gas cars.
