There is only one solution: NEVER, EVER, even consider buying a car affiliated with any of the Detroit 3. IF no one buys their cars, the companies will collapse sooner rather than later, and that will limit the damage to the taxpayers.
Here’s the kicker though,when they collapse,the “loan” is defaulted on ,money spent,and taxpayers will still be on the hook for it.
Yea, well I agree with Jay Leno who said “Chinese don’t watch my program, so I buy American made.”
In my 30 years in business, the Japanese, Germans, Koreans, French NEVER purchased any of my merchandise so aside from the fact that my father would roll over in his grave if I purchased a Japanese or German vehicle; I will continue to support Americans and buy American!
And before I leave you all, the Chevy Corvette & Cadillac CTS were two of the top ten in Car & Driver for 2009 and they were repeat performers from last year. And GM along with Honda were the only two car mfgs. to have TWO of the top ten. So anyone saying that America can’t build very good vehicles doesn’t know what the heck they are talking about.
Have a good day all, ‘cause I am! LOL
We swore off the Big 3 years ago after a couple bad experiences. My dad’s Chrysler w/13,000 miles is in the shop this week getting a new transmission (third time he’s had it in the shop for transmission problems since he bought it.)
Not buying from the Big 3 isn’t a hard decision for us.
Oh good idea. Buy from a foreign company that already subidises their companies. And the profit does not stay in America, it goes over seas. Now that makes no sence. Make the UAW change. The big three build good cars. The Chevy Malibu was car of the year. The F-150 was the best selling truck in America.
As the wife of a Saturn dealership owner I resent that remark. You can’t punish everyone just because the UAW is involved. If AIG got a bailout why is it not fair for GM?
And by the way I was against the first bailout.
