Chrysler temporarily shutting down all North American facilities, will impact 46000 employees

[*Robert* 2]

I'm sorry to say that I prefer reliable cars.

Why did you buy a Japanese piece of ####### then?

LOL

I was wondering how the US is still years behind the foreign counterparts in terms of infrastructure, and technology.

It's called the UAW!

Since the Messiah came Nov 4, 2008! And according to these liberal bashers of America on this website!

There a few here who like to bash the American auto indusrty. I'm sure they would feel the same way if it was their idustry that was being affected. Or if the Japanese were better at the job than they were. I know for sure that there are no hypocrytes here.

Only if the US stop making cheap cars. I've read in the Consumer Reports that Honda has the highest safety, lowest maintenance of all the car manufacturers. Actually, they're a whole league of their own because the graph showed they were miles apart from the American counterparts. It's the truth.

Consumer Reports.

It's a scam. Nonetheless. There's not legit source that I could find to prove my point. It's taken at point blank. Believe what you want to believe.

You believe in Honda. Your choice. I believe that Detroit makes some very good cars too. I base that on what I have owned for the last few decades.

I've owned 9 vehicles so far, and they've ALL been US.

8 GM and 1 Dodge, and only the first 2 were used.

I could never see myself promoting foreign auto companies.

Buy USA!!!

Me too!!!! but before you blame only the UAW for the current mess, remember the intelligent management who negotiated with them, the disparity in the export/import tariff's between our country and the imports...

[Donna A 4]

thanks to everyone who still believes in gm and the uaw as this is who supplies my bread and butter. im glad to see some people out there who supports the country they live in.

Well, it's about time they develop safe cars.

I'm glad that they're finally thinking of safe cars. However, they still aren't up to snup in the reputation of safety. Now, lets look at the maintenance.

I prefer foreign vehicles anytime over American. The reputation of American car manufacturers have been known not to compete well, except for now.

Well that's completely irrational. I don't blame you - people do irrational things based on their beliefs.

After all, what, like, 90 percent of the six billion people on this planet believe in a space god?

Did you count Al Gore in those stats? blech!

Prove it. Most electronics are developed outside. The only technology that really is ahead is microprocessor development. Medical Equipment, Satellites, etc...components are designed by Japanese, Germans, etc...

Do you prefer to get paid in US dollars or yen?
