EVAPORATE into Corporate Swiss and Cayman Island
bank accounts.

Bye Bye.....y'all should have bought a Toyota or a Honda.

They paid ridiculous wages to high school dropout to do manual work and
ridiculous salaries and bonuses to worthless business major lizards who
served as management. No wonder it is going under.

Does that mean you are happy in your job at McDonalds and all those people
that made GM number one in the world were stupid and over paid?

Does that mean it will be OK to buy Toyotas that are made in China. Surely
you don't think Toyotas will still continue assemble their cars in the US
of imported parts when the can make them so much cheaper in China with those
same parts do you.

Making a part or a electronic circut board is far different than moving
your entire operation to China. I'm told by reliable sources that China
is difficult to do business with. If I owned a car company, I would buy
parts but I'd never move my entire facility or in other words be
completely dependent on China, no way no how.

Eventually all cars will be made in China - just like shoes... but that wont
happen until the Chinese can keep their electricity on for more than a
day... infrastructure upgrades are coming in 7-10 years over there, and you
can count on cars being made there.

Better tell Toyota. According to Automotive News they are building a plant
in China, as well as one in Mexico, as we speak.

I guess you are not familiar with the Twin Gouges dam, the largest in the
world, right? Do a search you will learn something for a change ;)

Perhaps for far East sales? I cannot imagine they abandoning their
plants here and having to ship product back here from the far East. I
thought that is why they built plants here.

Mike,
The people who made GM number one are long since gone. The people there
now are managing the well-documented slide and trying to simply stabilize
the marketshare.
JP

The started assembling vehicles in the US of foreign parts in plants built
in this county with taxpayers funds to escape import tariffs. Those tariffs
no longer exist.

Twin Gouges dam? WTF are you talking about. China is building the Three
Gorges dam. Do a search you will learn something for a change. Twin Gorges
(Gouges?) is a dam project in the Northwest Territories.
