GM started making Saturns to compete with Honda, Toyota, etc

Saturn Division has never made a profit yet!

Corvette started in 1953 - it was profitable by 1958

Oldsmobile is GONE

GM is looking at dropping Pontiac now - the Aussie Pontiacs are a hot fast good handling car now sold in the USA

The Olds joined the DeSoto

GM, Ford, Chrysler have been making unprofitable cars for decades now

Japanese and German cars make profits - made in the USA - no union legacy contracts

A good early example:

The ‘55 Corvette was outsold 4 to 1 by the ‘55 T-Bird

But the 2-seater T-Birds were discontinued in 1958 for the Big-Birds

The democrats and mr. creepy are forcing through the “card-check” voting system

If Foreign cars made in the USA at $48 an hour are forced to go union - They will have the $78 an hour costs of GM

Average US worker costs are only $24 an hour

Unions are Commie scams for crooked union leaders and politicians!

You are the expert on all of that. Don’t know how you remember it all but you do.

I hate to see people lose jobs but looks like they are in many industries now anyway. We can’t bail out everyone.
