I have a Ford I tested yesterday here in NC and that damn sucker was impressive.

6in of snow and an ice under. I forced it to spin and twist and it recovered quickly.

AWD Escape. 2015

My 82 Chevy had over 300K when I sold it. It was still going strong.
My 98 Chevy is now over 250K and doing fine.
My 75 Corvette and 56 3/4ton don’t get driven much now, but when I do, they get the job done.
I also have a Chevy engine in my 53Willys. It does the job fine as well.

The GM bailout went to save its overseas operations.

Didn’t GM get a massive taxpayer bail out just a couple of years ago? And they got a TARP grant ghat they used to pay off the loan?

Mr. Trump please fight this so called trade war. We are not afraid. An across the board tariff would be best.

Just do it!

What kind of engines? And what kind of driving?

The last engine I had was one of the newer types, a 275-cid small-block V8. I wasn’t able to find a 350. Mostly highway driving. Didn’t beat on it and kept it maintained on schedule.

The hatchbacks come from Mexico.

It’s a popular vehicle in some of the higher US latitudes.

As it turns out, GM only imports a small number of Cruze hatchbacks from Mexico and Barra said it makes all of the sedans at a factory in Lordstown, Ohio, near Cleveland.

This is a flat-out lie by GM. Go to any dealorship selling the Cruze and check the VIN tags. If it starts out 3G1 then it was made in Mexico. Turns out a large number of Cruze cars being sold in the USA, are indeed made in Mexico and not in Ohio. They're even being sold in Ohio!
