Place YOUR BETS. It's A GIVEN A Car APOCALYPSE Has Begun. In The Next 12 Months WHO LIVES And WHO DIES?

I've been predicting a coming consolidation of vehicles, brands and companies. Even BEFORE this crazy disaster we're all a part of right now.

There were WAY too many choices out there. Brands, models AND companies.

And let's face it, even the buzz has compressed down to just a few companies and a few products.

In the old days, it was like a farmers market full of SO many great choices. M3's, M5's, E's, S4's, R8's and so on.

Those are ALL DOA now.

It's Pickup trucks, Suv's and Tesla. That's IT.

So our question is WHO and WHAT will survive?

And don't take the EASY route and wimp out and say something like Fiat/Alfa. Don't insult everyone's intelligence. This isn't AutoBlog or Edmunds.

It's a sad fact but there are just way too many choices out there and too little market for that many selections.

Tesla is going to get crushed by the combo of super low gas prices and massively lower sales. The US economy is bad, China is worse, and Europe is worse still. There is nowhere for Tesla to find growth.

A year ago there would be a dozen comments here saying Tesla, not any more. With other companies scaling back EV plans to focus on their most profitable cars, Tesla will pull even further ahead on the next generation of transportation. EVs are hitting cost parity as ICE for companies with solid experience building them, GM and Ford will regret not moving fast enough in the future.. hindsight is 20/20.

Chrysler either dead or selling badge-engineered Peugeots.
Alfa-Romeo and Maserati are precarious; I'd keep Maserati.
Fold Ram back into Dodge where it belongs.
Buick is not well and neither is Cadillac; I'd keep Cadillac.
Mini is dead.
Mitsubishi is dead.
Infiniti is dead.
Nissan and Mazda are both on borrowed time.
Elon will sell Tesla.

Ford and VW could merge.
Geely could buy GM.
