I prefer to have more personal control over how and with who I spend my hard earned money however.
I worked with the ROK Marines when I was in Nam.
That said; I'll continue to buy MADE IN USA.
Japanese & Germans NEVER purchased merchandise from me for 30 years and Americans did...ya don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out whose vehicles I will be purchasing. LOL
Disregard.....SHEEESH!
“Sweet deal for Fiat?”
Fiat?
I thought Fiat purchased MOPAR.
The fastest, and probably one of the best production corvettes every produced. I would label it a pinnacle of US auto manufacturing excellence. A modern day Duesenberg.
But, the ZR1 is really marking the last of an era.
It will be illegal to sell them under Obama’s mandated MPG standards to go into effect within a few years.
And the union bosses who’ll be living high on the hog off your purchases (after, of course, they kick back tens of millions to the DNC) will thank you.
The Baraqqis (and by inclusion anyone in the USA who pays federal taxes) have to provide life support to GM and Chrysler until Nov 2012.
After that I think the companies will probably fail again.
Assuming the economy doesn’t ramp up (and I heard an expert on CNBC forecast auto sales staying in the 9-10m/yr range for several more years), the life support can take many more billions.
“union bosses” didn't kill any of my fellow Marines in WWI or WWII.
And my father would roll over in his grave if I put a Japanese or German vehicle in the garage....in fact the damn roof would probably collapse if I parked one in there. Got it? Good!
Is that Obama’ car?
Looks like there’s teleprompters on it.
Don’t recall telling you to buy German or Japanese, but what do I know?
And sure, I guess it really doesn’t matter if the unions keep the Democrats financially afloat - I’m sure Frank Church, the Democrat congresses in the ‘70’s and the their ilk would have sold out our troops in Nam even if they didn’t get all that union money. So yeah, keep on funnelling it to them - that’s a grand idea.
Cheers!
Jeez. How the heck did we get down this road, because you said you wouldn’t buy German or Japanese?
Sheesh. I’m with you on this...even though I don’t feel like supporting those companies, one of the traditionally great things about this country is that you could patronize whatever seller of goods you wanted to.
Unless they were based in South Africa. Or Cuba.
No it's not going to be illegal. Hi-Performance cars and trucks will be produced by GM for years to come. Please read some credible sources (not biased ones who have a vendetta against GM & Gov;t motors ) of what GM is really going to be producing in the next 10-15-20 years.
Are they going to put a greater emphasis on smaller, more fuel effiecient cars? Yes but so is every other car maker. If you want to buy an SUV or a pickup or a 425 hp Camaro they will still be available for years to come.
There was a great article on the future of GM in either Car and Driver or Motor Trend. Hi-Performance cars will always be available and GM said they will always produce these cars. Right now there is a almost a 20,000 backlog on the new 2010 Camaro. You can barely find a standard Camaro on the lot's let alone the 425 hp SS model you cannot even find there is so much demand. GM is paying the workers to work extra shifts to keep up with demand.
There is alot of good as well as very bad misinformation about "Govt Motors "on FR. Don' t believe all you read.
Perhaps some new bumper stickers will sell:
“If you’re driving GM, I helped pay for your car.”
“GM? Why pay for a car twice?”
Then feel free to support the people producing the Gaymaro and soon the Gayvette: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2289316/posts

BMW bump. Made right here in South Carolina.
