So every movie about the future has flying cars, but they are all from established companies that are around today. (Due to marketing tie-ins). It made me think. What if in the future, there were even worse collapses and shakeups in the Auto Industry, and a new "Big Three" emerged. We would have:

• The US car company
• The European Car Company
• The Pacific Rim Car Company

You could drive a Chevyford Mustang SS. Or an M3-V12. Or a Toyobaru FR-ZX. What else would you Frankenstien together?

In reply to rebelgtp:

That is obviously ALL ford! Nice one though.

I think I would handle an Italian car that was reliable (Ala Audis involvement with Lambo) or a britsh car that would keep its smoke in (German involvement in a few brands). I see a trend here. Someone better tell Poland.

Considering the rates at which thing like the stupid "I can't put my KIA in neutral" woman are happening and the amount of driver nannying crap being added to cars so the ballast in the left seat can use it's dumbphone without being interrupted, I see this as the only real option for our future:

Like it or not, the mindless, mouth breathing meatbags that occupy the planet along with us normal humans are winning.
