Don't be too quick to judge who drives what. You'll hardly every see a Kerry bumper sticker on a "Big Three" pickup, but you still see a lot on Toyotas.

Sonny Perdue must be happy and Bill Shipp wishes he hadn't wrote his editorial today.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Where is the car factory plant going to be located in Georgia?

"Whenever I pass a Ford on the highway, I always say "There goes another John Kerry voter.""

What boneheaded thing to say.

[Kokojmudd]

Funny how auto companies can open new plants in places like GA and TN isn't it. Maybe GM should consider it.

[SamAdams76]

Let me guess...you drive a Ford!

[Rebelbase]

I sure do. I bought it for a song and it's been a great car for the past 3 years.

That's just a damn ignorant thing to equate an American made car to the way someone would vote.

[Self Ruler]

It will be near West Point, Georgia...an area hard hit by closing of textile mills.

The company will probably hire a bunch of illegal Mexicans and pay them pennies on the dollar like everybody else.

"Proximity to the Hyundai site -- combined with a $258 million incentive package from the state -- helped sway Kia."

See, Americans CAN compete in the global economy...

When a guy complained to me about losing his job with a good income, I asked him how he likes his two riceburners. Perhaps by now he has he found much lower paid work on an assembly line, subservient to some Asian.

Hyundai just bought KIA.

[endthematrix]

1998.

In response, Michigan just increased its minimum wage...As they say, "go figure".

[Pookee]

You're always going to have a hard time selling cars with KIA on them to military personnel.

West Point.
