Big threes still blow. They are still cheaply made with cheap materials, they don't hold any kind of value, they are still all made in Mexico.
The advertising has just gotten more aggressive and less honest.

Why are so many people vehemently loyal to these terrible companies?

Congrats though that downtown Detroit is full of activity. Its almost as if everyone has moved into the city center to escape the barren post-apocalyptic wasteland that is the majority of suburbs.

If they can't shut down services to those old suburbs because there's like three people living in them, why don't they just eminent domain those dude's houses?

I'd take a (european market) Ford over a Toyota any day. Fiesta/Focus/Ka are made in Belgium/Germany and perfectly fine cars.
Ecoboost 1.0 has won engine of the year 3 times in a row.

its funny when i use detroit as a reference for a post apocalyptic city and someone is always like "woah, hey now" and comes to the defense of detroit because i live in a city full of stupid white yuppies. i kindly ask them how comfortable would they be living at least 5 miles from the nearest functioning police station or substation while they're still technically in city limits.

been in the area all my life.

city sucks, but the surrounding cities are great as long as you're not a minority in oakland county. at that point you might as well wear a bullseye on your back with a sign that says "arrest me for no reason."

make decent wages in this area and you can live like a god with infinite disposable income.

I love poo poo like this. A stadium is one thing though, I wanna see some derelict factories. There was a mental asylum in Massachusetts near where I lived that was popular for this kinda thing too. They said there was a door that was welded shut in the basement, and nobody was willing to break it open to see what was behind it.

this is depressing to me. I like how the rest of the loving world, including Bra-loving-zil can build more poo poo than we can in 20 years. Probably the only American city to really change in the past 20 years is Las Vegas and 90% of that is lovely track houses and strip malls that will fall apart in another 20 years. instead, everything is pretty much on a downward trend of falling apart or being stagnant
