Someone better to something about this damn chip shortage. I am in the market for a new car, but all the dealers are asking for more than sticker price for almost all vehicles.

I don't have a problem with Biden's puppet masters doing this, but I do have a problem with you, 99percenter, for saying something in your thread title that is not supported by the news link you provide.

Try to do better, eh?

This IMO is silly. They are asking U.S. companies to educate them about bottlenecks that exist in Asia. Ridiculous. What is Ford going to tell them? “We tried buying more chips but were told that semi fab lines are booked.” That’s real actionable data, sure.

If they want to understand and address this issue, they need to put some people on a plane to Taipei.

Go to Canada buy a car and import it back to the US, get a digital dash so you can have MPH rather than KPH as the main speedo reading

A chip plant takes a couple of years to build. The most advanced cost approx $10 billion

The best chip engineers right now are in Taiwan. One reason Intel is having difficulty competing with TSMC and Samsung in reducing node size

Fixing Standards for the Union would include infrastructure upgrades that can provide sufficient returns to scale.

Why not lease a car until you establish a petty cash fund for a new car.

I have a car. 2015 CRV which I am really trying to ditch. Worst car I ever purchased. I will hold on to it until everything returns to normal

Worst as in lots of breakdowns or worst as in you don’t like most things about it?

That was the first year they added a cvt engine. The car shakes a lot during idle. Honda never had a real solution for that.

Ah ok

My wife has a 2017 Honda Accord with a CTV transmission. No problems with that, just a few quality issues. The backup camera had to be replaced and the hand operated parking break became loose which required a rear calliper to be replaced

Hopefully, you will find a good deal somewhere and be able to use the value of your current car for trade-in purposes.

Trade it in for a lightly used Ford Escape at Carmax until the new car market clears up.

I have decided to get a bigger SUV for my next car as my family is growing. Preferably one with a third row with room. I looked at the highlander but there is barely enough space to put your feet in the third row.

If you really need a third row get a minivan. The third row is far more usable in them
