> there has never been a true automotive industry in Spain
Seat stopped collaborating wih Fiat in the 80s
>what is hispano-suiza
>what is hurtan

I saw a few old talbots here

Aside from Opel which was ruined by GM everyone is doing pretty good

Concurrent to the one child policy, China also enacted the less known "kill at least 50 people per day with glorious Chinese accordioning cars" policy in the 1990s to help curb population growth.

Judging by the poor quality our cars are built nowadays and the fact that luxurious car makers decided to make affordable small cars (see merc A class, bmw 115 or audi a1 for example) shows that it died a while ago.

1985, imports were banned since 64 and there was several companies making cars, although the best selling brands were VW and Chevy, those companies used to buy engines and chassis from these two to make their cars. Only Gurgel actually managed to have their own in house chassis and engine, but it was already too late.
Puma are my favorite ones, since they're fun for messing around, there are some madmen who put Subaru engines(on Type 3 chassis ones) and V8's on ones like pic related.

We only produced trucks and buses. In 2002 Saurer closed. I'm not an expert of trucks but they looked comfy imo

>When did your motor industry die?

It was never alive to begin with.

>I saw a few old talbots here
Were they made in Spain? The finnish version had extra fuel system for some kind of weird cheap petroleum product. You would first drive with normal gasoline until the engine was fully heated and then switch to the petroleum or whatever. A blue P-letter button on the dashboard did it.

The '90s, when FIAT decided to completely fuck Italy over with delocalizations and the various fixed exchange rates in preparation for the Euro made German cars cheaper than local ones

fake gif, bmw frames are a lot slower

If our motor industry dies it means the death of this country so it's not yet.

No clue but they sure as hell were sold here back in the day

>spain
>automotive industry

Our car industry is strong and growing. They build electric cars here and lots of Mercedes.

seat is just a cheaper more shitty volkswagen

newest look like total shit and ones produced post 2000 are incredibly low quality and rust all the time
>t. owned 2004 astra 1.7cdti

They're dead in many markets.

>Germany orders Opel to recall 73 000 diesel cars

Seat is good quality, do you believe Jeremy Clarkson memes?

Sad, never had a single problem with my vectra B, except one time the bumper fell when i was in traffic.

>low quality

wrong, you're an idiot or a liar.

no but i believe they are worse than vw, i drove seat and vw caddy, both have almost identical interior but vw was better made

"What is dead may never die!"

Vectras are solid cars. Their engines could probably run for 50 years.

>too expensive for koreans maybe
nice

;)

No the other spaniard and you have a point. I’d say seat- skoda- vw-audi in general terms. The engines might be the same but the interiors are way different. Another history would be quality/ price if you like racing/raw power. Where I’d choose a seat Cupra over some oveprice s line shit

they shake and brake down all the time
that fucking piece of shit left me on the highway after less than 100km with critical engine failure and i wasnt even driving faster than 130. i checked both oil and water level before going on trip. and some fucking idiot designer thought it was a good ideo not to put a water temperature indicator inside, instead they used a lamp which also failed. that faggot should be killed.

I have some bad news my binlandien

Hard to say exactly when, sometime between the 1970s-1990s. Whenever Detroit became a shithole. [spoiler]Was probably for the best though[/spoiler]

It didnt, they are actually growing a lot nowadays, Renault became the first car company in the world a few months back.

Chinese maker is doing fine, actually.

globalization
small markets can't compete with the giants
everyone is merging with someone

Bigger entities grow exponentially to their size, its a constant in the universe
A bigger star attracts more mass than a smaller star ever could, as a metaphor

if such a simple device as a lamp failed, why do you think a thermometer couldn't fail.

it didn't :)

Sure, but here's the full crash at around 0:50
