Commuter rail, public transit, a social safety net, and I personally would take anything from Volkswagon group over the average Dodge vehicle
And Ford makes good cars, when they choose to.
That said, multiple American car companies (Dodge, Jeep, Chrystler) going under and ending up owned by an EU conglomorate sure doesn't feel like a stirling defense of GP's claim, I.E., "What the EU builds is not competitive with what America builds"
