Not really true - Cars.com uses a BS multiplier when calculation US content, derived from how many units are sold, i.e.:

Look at the chart in this one - you can clearly see the improvement overall starting in the early 2000's - that’s when CAD SW designed specifically to improve structure was being implemented.

That’s total nonsense and just shows your bias.

Sorry - you’re letting your bias show.

Really? That doesn’t seem likely - show data that supports your statement.

Hmm, it’s been the second best selling compact lux CUV every since they went to FWD - it appears that a LOT of people like the way it looks!

Don’t ever try to get a job in product planning!

Low cost?

Are you a member of the SAE like I am (for over twenty years BTW)?

Sorry to pop your bubble, but I have a BSEE and an MBA, am a member of the SAE, participate in multiple committees and the AUTOSAR consortium, as well as work for a Tier2 supplier.

You and the one you replied to have absolutely ZERO, ZILCH, NOT A FUCKING CLUE what you are talking about.

You are rather spectacularly clueless - just about everything you wrote is simply BULLSHIT!!

GM’s been working on this for many years
