Buy an affordable car from XYSSJ brand!
…oh a XYSSJ car catches fire and kills the passengers trapped inside … and the brand disappears.
Not to worry! You can buy an affordable car from the latest brand:FongWay! These cars sure look surprisingly familiar… 🤔

One really bad deaign out of thousands made in 120 years of manufacturing. Still a pretty good average.
They had a few other famous failures (though not nearly as bad as the Pinto) including the Edsel and the Bronco 2. Both of which they removed from production and moved on to make something better.
Ford is literally the antithesis of what I was saying about a brand that just disappears after a fuck up rather than owning it and improving on the next one.
