Depending on what you're looking for, you could probably buy higher quality after market parts from a 3rd party. Even then, the profit from parts is miles lower than the profit from new car sales.
I just thought of something, if Pontiac were still active as a brand, would they have been forced to change their name? After all it was named after an Indian chief. We'd have some car company with a weird-ass green or feminist name instead.
Mazda maybe? I looked through their Twitter and the most woke I can come up with is some pandemic stuff. Nothing specifically political. They are not part of any of the mega-companies either.
My main car is FCA product, so Biden loving and I'm sure they are woke as shit don't even have to look it up. Next time I may be looking around more, or as the other said buy used. I do a lot of the service myself anyway.
Well if you got a time machine and bought a pre WW2 Volkswagen, that would be the least woke company to buy from.
Speaking of realistic options, buy Japanese/Korean or buy used. Or if time is not important and you feel ambitious, you could 3d print the parts and assemble a car yourself.
Why not get an older car and just maintain it. You learn a valuable new skill, and save money doing your own work on your car. And if it doesn't come with a GPS, even better, you won't be tracked 24/7.
Used. Any used car bought through an independent dealership and serviced through an independent mechanic will not toss a dime to the car companies.
Better yet, if you have the time and resources, build a kit car.

3d printing, my dude
Pontiac.

I doubt enough people know that to make them change it.
Doesn't mean their cars are not still on the market.

Subaru is the car that Northwestern lesbians drive. They were woke long before "woke" was a term.
Used off of craigslist.
If you don't know about cars find a buddy and offer pizza and beer if he will look over used cars with you.
And then the first thing you do if you buy one is take it to a mechanic you trust and pay him to look it over.
Don't have to worry about what the company is doing when the company isn't getting your money. This is my goto for almost everything.

That just means you haven't failed enough yet.
Real shit
It's debatable how woke car companies really are or tend to be and aren't merely cynically preaching the gospel in corporate ads, a lesser but still contemptible evil.
No.
