“Not cutting any jobs in their Mexico operations?”
Cartels better to deal with than the filthy unions.
Yep. Your simple, enjoyable life in Rural Michigan is upended and you’re plunked down in DETROIT.
IF you still want a job, that is. ;)
I guess
We don't want 'em and are STILL waiting for brand new '56 an' 57 Chevy's in baby blue n' white.
WHAT is wrong with the auto industry . . . we loved our pre '70's cars and we can no longer afford to restore 'em (IF we can FIND one . . ).
... but a brand new from original forms an' stamps with modern technology an' components, all hidden from sight ?
Would YOU buy a brand new '57 T'Bird?
My sources say executives at GM-Ford are being let go too.
Workers no need worry.
The future is China!
Most everybody happy.
I do not understand.
If there is any sense in having EV, it would be having a small commuter car, just to move around the town.
EV trucks and large SUV’s are tonally useless, no power at all.
The only use of them is virtue signaling.
My view on EVs is they are sunbelt commuter cars. When the cars operate outside of milder weather conditions, range drops. I wouldn’t own one as a primary car...
Very expensive golf or go cart!
Sigh... I owned a pristine '57 Chevy 2-dr coupe, low mileage, 327ci engine and Muncie 4-spd trans, hydraulic lift shocks to raise the rear, offset spindles in front, headers out the fenders with pipes under the side sills of the doors, etc. Wish I never sold it in the mid-70's, but I needed the money for dental work. Best of several cars I owned back then, including '56, '58 and '63 Chevy's. They don't make them like that anymore.
BUT-—THE UNION JUST HELD A STRIKE & GOT MORE $$$$$$$$!!
Get up on your internet & search for HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS.

LOVE MY OLD IRON...Have a mechanic that also loves older cars. I can do alot of general maintenance myself-—But he does very good work on items I cannot do.
More money, less workers..........
Could be related to gruesome Newsom and the democrat party.
Here’s How Gruesome Newsom’s Commiefornia Is Killing the American Auto Industry

Top U.S. car manufacturer Stellantis sent notices to 2,455 workers in Detroit and 1,225 workers in Ohio on Dec. 8, notifying employees of possible layoffs to come in February in a move to shift its production to comply with California’s regulations that are increasingly cracking down on internal combustion engine vehicles
My comment was a general comment to seg into the request for newly tooled, classic cars.
