My point was that the “american jobs” rhetoric was bogus as almost all of the cars you pointed to as world beaters were manufactured outside North America (and more so for the parts).

It makes sense for the Big 3 to try and bring in vehicles designed for high gas tax markets, but it is too little too late. They had 35 years to reinvent themselves, they can’t do it suddenly between now and December.

The reinventing has been going on for the last two years (at least) but many haven’t been watching, and that is not a shot at you, It it just reality. As far as bringing the Euro Transplants here, a gnome tells me that decission was made almost 2 years ago internally with no fanfare. Again, I do not have the cycle plans so I do not know which will be built here, but I am going to out on a limb here and say some will be built here.
