    Fixing Ford:
    -Bringing the Fiesta and Focus back to the European market
    -Bringing the Focus back to the US market
    -Bringing the Focus Active to the US market to compete with the Chevrolet Trax, Subaru Crosstrek and others
    -Release a 4-door version of the S650 Mustang with Focus-esque styling, calling it the Falcon and capitalizing on the void left by the Dodge Charger
    -Revert to chain-driven oil pumps on all EcoBoost and Coyote engines
    -Bringing the Chinese-market Mondeo to the US, name it the Fusion and build it stateside
    -Releasing the cancelled Ford Fusion Active, building it here to compete with the Subaru Outback
    Fixing Mitsubishi:
    -Honestly, Mitsubishi is beyond saving at this point. Their only new release in the past 8 years is a rebadged Nissan Rogue. If they want a full lineup of Nissan-based CUVs, then they can be my guest, but I don’t see how profitable that could be for Mitsubishi.
    Fixing Chrysler:
    -Chrysler is dead. They just don’t want to acknowledge it yet.

    Story time: I was just at a Mazda dealer looking at a Mazda3 Sport GS-L. Buddy was trying to upsell me on a CX-50. No, i told you what i liked, I told you what i didn’t like, I told you the body style I like, and you threw all of that out the window and showed me a CX-50.

    I’m a fan of Mitsubishi that’s been following what they’ve been doing for years and I think I have the solution to fixing Mitsubishi.
    First, let me tell you the strongholds of Mitsubishi. They’re big in Japan, Southeast Asia, and even in parts of Europe for their rugged vehicles and good PHEV technology. So now we know their current demographic which is people who want a good PHEV or good rugged vehicle. We also know Mitsubishi has a stronghold so they definitely won’t go out of business.
    Then here’s what Mitsubishi has in the product pipeline. They are going to bring the Delica off-road minivan and the Pajero/Montero to production soon. So we know they’re definitely reviving Mitsubishi’s rugged image with iconic nameplates.
    Seeing all this about Mitsubishi, my first move to revive them is to simply bring back the Lancer Evo as well as the Lancer sedan and wagon. Heck, I’d bring back the Mirage and even the Galant to further widen Mitsubishi’s range. And for marketing, we just focus on Mitsubishi’s past rally legacy and their legendary all wheel control technology (like Subaru focuses on their AWD technology). So basically, Mitsubishi’s niche will be mass market (like Nissan and Honda), but more specialized in rally technology, PHEV technology, and know how in rugged vehicles to set them apart from the rest of the industry.
    There’s my Mitsubishi revival plan in a nutshell.

      Good plan. I own a new Outlander PHEV and they are perfect for markets with limited EV charging infrastructure, such as here in Australia. I think these markets are where Mitsubishi should really push their PHEV technology. As a family which often does long trips into rural areas, it's good to have an SUV but Mitsubishi really do need other options. I know it's difficult to make PHEV's work for smaller cars but i feel like Mitsubishi might be able to manage it for a future vehicle

    Lincoln:
    I dont particularly see them ever making a sports sedan really. And who knows how logistics, where its made, and regulations, whats under the hood would affect it. Even if they made the most perfect even reliable sports sedan. It would be a up hill battle in a shrinking segment.
    I always wondered if making a Lincoln Mustang would work. You have the platform and powertrains. Just maybe make it a grand tourer. I could see it being a halo car for the brand. It would get people talking. But it certainly wouldn't save the brand.
    If they want to market towards younger buyers they would definitely need some sort of sporty car and maybe a CUV. Idk maybe use the Bronco Sport to make a premium offroady looking CUV. I dont believe that really exists in the US. The Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, etc competitors all looks curvey and bubbly.
    Again not saying any of this would actually do much for them
    Acura:
    Always thought the demographic was middle age women. Their sedans look awesome.
    You use Lexus as a example of luxury sports cars. But lexus cars dont particularly sell that well. The RC is one of the slowest selling cars in the US, the GS was killed, and the ES is nice but is basically a Camry. If you want a sports car brand then the TLX would need a completely different platform than other Hondas.
    I dont really see what they could do to interest folks.
    Mitsubishi:
    I think a boxy body on frame SUV competitor to 4Runner and a midsize truck would be a start.
    I dont particularly see the Lancer or any other "car" really being a huge seller they need.
    Chrysler:
    First make something
    Be more reliable
    I think they could maybe sit above the mainstream brand a little bit. Like Buick.
    I would make a compact CUV and a midsize CUV. Maybe use the Aspen name on one of those.
    I personally only ever see Chrysler 200s broke down. And when the 200 and Dart were out they lost the company a lot of money. So the logistics of making a smaller sedan is very much agaisnt them.
    The Hemi should come back but with how Stellantis has the company set up, I dont think they have enough emission wiggle room to allow a new Hemi V8 like Ford has a V8.

      lincoln has never necessarily been a sporty company. sure they had the mark 7 and 8, but compared to like cadillac (especially nowadays) lincoln is less sporty luxury (like bmw, mercedes or cadillac), and they're more known for their rolling barges and sofas on wheels. i'm not sure how commercially successful it'd be, but it'd be awesome to see lincoln return to a more comfy, land ship, rolling sofa esque type of luxury. the problem is, it probably won't be as commercially successful as sporty luxury sedans seem to be very popular right now. while a lincoln mustang would be neat, it's definitely a lot more complicated than that, and i think something like a successor to the lincoln mark series would be awesome

      Lincoln was the sporty luxury car company, before the sports sedan was ever a thing in Germany. The Mark3 was light and nimble, but the 72 Continental was and is still a handling beast. Sure, its a big car, 20 ft long, but it was wide. The widest track car made up until that point (and probably is still the widest track, excluding dually trucks).
      They were top speed machines. I hit 144 in mine, at its a 50 year old car. I was doing around 4000rpm, and still had some room until themax 4400 the 460 was rated for. BUT, the funny thing, the limiting factor was not the valve train. It was the dizzy. So, swap out for a performance dizzy, hotter spark, and they will do 150. In 72, that was unheard of. THen 73 came, and the emissions, bigger bumpers, added 300lbs (grand scheme, 5200 to 5500, sure not much but enough) and they made the suspension very boaty and soft. 72 was firm and quiet, with somehow tight steering you could move with your pinky. But you felt the road. Check out old movies, and see what these cars were capable of doing, hanging with a Camaro or Trans Am in turns isnt easy...
      But even with the changes from sporty to floating coach, at least they leaned into that and made the comfiest thing even by 79, and kept on comfyfying them until 2011 (though some last gen TCs had the sports handling pckg, and they will shock you). But, we had to sell to wine moms lol.Theyre website has pictures of fancy food, private jets, excotic hotel rooms...sans any car. wth lol?

      @@literaldirt Yeah I just said a Lincoln Mustang because it's a platform already there and I assume would be much simpler to try and use than say, any of the other Ford/Lincoln sedans overseas that aren't made in North America at all.
      If I was to do it I would just make it luxury pony car basically. Just a lot of power in a straight line and very comfortable. Being a coupe would get a lot of attention. I would imagine at the very least it would be a attractive car.
      They could either aim it towards younger buyers, but even then the current Mustang is so expensive and only aimed at older wealthier buyers. So a even more premium Lincoln variant probably wouldn't work if aimed at a cheaper price point for younger people.
      So it would probably be a 70-80k car if they did make think about it.

    Right now I think the move for most companies would be to make cheaper cars. People have less disposable income nowadays and are keeping their cars longer. The best way to capitalize on this is to have a sub $30,000 car that's inexpensive but still quality. It doesn't need the latest and greatest information systems, it just needs to be dependable. But a good company will also need more desirable cars to draw people into the brand.

      I agree. The only issue is that Honda and Toyota (and to a lesser extent, Nissan) dominate that market. Their reputation of reliability far outranks anything the American brands put out. Even in the cases where an American car is in fact more reliable, it’s often more about the perception of dependability when it comes to people actually buying the cars.

The Signature Package Lincoln Town Car will be 4-Seater models, and have a rear center console with a refrigerator and AV inputs in place of the standard middle seat. And the Continental would be their E-segment Sedan, competing with the Lexus ES, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Genesis G80.

Lexus established their reputation in early 90s with products that caught the competition completely offguard. Meanwhile acura was putting leather seats on civics and calling it a new car.

    Congrats on 1,000 subs. Enjoy the vids, don't need to do self-deprecating humor. Essays speak for themselves.
    I also am amazed Lincoln still exists, but I have no idea why they're even trying in a world where $50,000 is the entry now for average family SUV.
    Acura is a waste of time, just buy a Honda. Nowadays the prices and quality are exactly the same. I challenge you to show me the difference between a civic sport and an integra, aside from the price? Wait, they're both in the 30s.
    Mitsubishi is dead. Forget it. Done. No saving.
    I weep at the death of Dodge. I loved my Challenger, it was amazing, loud, and fun! Stellantis is the result of what happens when you sell you American muscle brand to communists.
    Keep up the good work, Vice.

    Didn't Buick try completely changing its marketing and went towards millennial in the mid 2010s? The whole "I can't believe it's a Buick" thing. They changed all their cars to their nicer-looking Vauxhall/Opel European counterparts like the Insignia/Regal TourX. But their interiors sucked. And the marketing still failed. So how will Lincoln do a good job about changing their market?

    How would fix Nissan:
    1) Get rid of that goddamned CVT from all their vehicles
    2) Bring back the Maxima, but make the car RWD/AWD. Also, make a special edition version that has the GT-R engine.
    3) Bring back the 240 SX
    4) Make an Infiniti luxury sedan that can rival the Lexus LS/Mercedes S-Class/BMW 7 Series

    Stellantis is basically just PSA being overambitious. They're more focused on their European brands, I'd wager their present trans-Atlantic caution is in some part due to Peugeot's own business history with America, among other more pertinent reasons

    6:18 I have a theory that chrysler is not trying to even be a car brand anymore. It started out as a company that just buys other companies. I think Stellantis owning all the encompassing brands now just means that crystlee has even less reason to sell vehicles. Dodge/Ram, Alpha, Cadillac.. they can just produce amazing vehicles within any of those brands.
    I feel like that is just lowkey where they are headed. Chrysler just happens to have a market for the Pacifica so they still make it. (I agree though, they should make a sexy sports luxury car again) but they can just produce an amazing car within any of their brands that has Chrysler’s dna in it.

    Mitsubishi is one of the four rugged kings of Southeast Asia --- Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Isuzu
    They sell so well because all they sell is what Southeast Asians need --- lots of space for people and cargo, utilitarian driving mech that focuses on adaptability over pure speed, and Japanese reputation. That's it. Southeast Asians think differently and face different daily realities compared to Europe and North America.

    Lincoln is still great, they just need to sell the chinese zephyr in USA and make more sedans/sportcars, same with Ford. (bring back crown vic and taurus and don't ruin them like the so called Capri revival
    On the topic of Ford, who are the morons they hire to name their cars, these are the naming improvements they need:
    - Mustang Mach-E ______Mach-E (obvious)
    - (Phillipines) Territory __Equator Sport (an insult to the Australian Ford Territory)
    - Capri _________________Freestyle or something other than Capri (obvious)
    - Freestyle______________Figo X or Figo Cross (looks just like a ballooned Figo)
    - (India) Endeavour_____Everest
    - (UK) Explorer EV______Anything other than that (it looks nothing like an Explorer)
    - Ford Kuga/Edge______Just stick to 1 name (Kuga or Edge, make up your mind)
    - All Police Responders_Police Interceptor (simpler and less confusion to LE agencies)

    Mitsubishi should revive the Lancer and the Eclipse for sure. Lincoln should cater to a more younger demographic and bring back their sedans too, including Chevrolet and Ford.
    The Chrysler Pacifica actually started off as an SUV back then, but converted into a minivan. Perhaps Chrysler could come up with a new sedan and a new SUV.
    Not included in the video, but Tesla should work on EVERYTHING wrong with them, rather than selling their cars and Cybertruck as a cosmetic/fashion products on wheels.

I dont generalize by generation too much...but boomer and millenials make me break that rule a lot, but at least boomers had some nice taste in cars where millenials....)
    I did a whole thing on why Lincoln will die. They marketed towards women, and only women. Lincolns were a mans car. Big sedans. Big coupes (coupay. They always had the accent lol, and doors bigger than some cars today). I did a video like this, with a detailed lineup for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep (no Ram, theyre Dodges ffs) and bringing back Plymouth. Imagine a Scat Pack, with rollup windows, basic interior, no sound proofing, no touch screen, just a 6.4. And manuals in Chargers too...and wagons. Manual Hemi wagon....ooof that would sell or be stolen. Either way, theyd be all over the place lol.

    i think one major way to fix car brands is to stop shoving overpriced SUV's and EV's down everyone's throats. there just isn't a demand for EV's here in the US for actual profit... not to mention all the issues with EV's, and also SUV's are just too expensive. just make what people want, or atleast expect from the company.
    Like take Dodge for example. people like dodge cause of the HEMI. so why they can't at the very least put the 5.7L HEMI in the new charger, it shouldn't be that hard. that engine has so much untapped potential
    or toyota, atleast toyota was willing to make changes with the new supra. people said it was underpowered, so they added more power. people wanted a version with a manual transmission, so they made a version with a stick.
    in this day and age of the internet giving everyone the ability to have their voices heard, it shouldn't be hard to know what your consumers want
