Asian Automakers Struggle To Make A Profit Against American Incentives

Nissan Motor Co. and Hyundai Motor Co. both cited higher incentive spending in the U.S. as reasons behind a slump in quarterly profit, with a political backlash in China adding to a cloudy outlook for Hyundai, South Korea’s largest automaker. More evidence of the industry’s pain is likely to come next week, with Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. scheduled to report earnings.

In the auto sales market these days, manufacturers have to pay to play. Whining about it is pointless.

Bob, you hit it on the head. JDM design language seems like it is coming from 15 year-old boys who have watched way too much Power Rangers, Gundam or Transformers.

Blah, blah, blah. The geezers here are hilarious, they bitch about the styling but don't explain why the Japanese car sales are so good. They bitch about Nissan pouring money to move cars, but conveniently discounts the fact that American brands are doing exactly the same thing.

Stop bitching and realize that all brands have both goods and bads about them!
