It is true that GM Europe is doing well. However you are wrong about why those models are not brought here. The are held via government regulations to ...wait for it!....preserve union jobs.
Negative, they could even be built here (see the Saturn Ion, Saturn Astra, Chevy Cobalt, and Chevy HHR - those are all based of GM Euro designs, though not the ones they should have been based on, and were screwed up by the UAW with the exception of the Astra, which GM just imports directly from Belgium) so union jobs would be unaffected. That said, NOW they will probably be held up by government regs.
Exactly!
Obama has them on his reelection campaign!
"I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem. To me it's part of the solution."
-- President Barack Obama, Jan. 30, 2009
"We need to level the playing field for workers and the unions that represent their interests, because we know that you cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement," the president said. "When workers are prospering, they buy products that make businesses prosper. We can be competitive and lean and mean and still create a situation where workers are thriving in this country."
