you should have asked her if she sees any 92 camrys still on the road.

its a common song.

oddly enough, i've always liked this gen of MC. except for engines. until now.

GM makes very good cars, my point the whole time is that there are forces and prejudices that are unfairly causing people to ignore what's great with American cars. I guess that's all i was trying to say. and its gotten to the point where those forces are so bad, its hurting one of our great American economic engines. I just want folks to drive and consider American cars too, and not feel guilty, bad, or inferior if they like them and want to own one. I don't think the public and media should force people into making their decisions for them. that is what I was trying to realte in this topic....'the spin' has gotten out of hand.

Nissan's resurgence has been grand, but isn't it interesting how it was built around core products all sharing a tremendous v6 engine with premier technology and tremendous execution? Just a thought, imagine if Nissan has put 3400's in its new cars........

the article is not nearly as pointed as watching the video. they said NOTHING about the difference to our economy as a whole between an American based company vs. Japanese based.

hmmm, all my posts were responses to provocations......in case you hadn't noticed, i haven't posted anything anymore because i wasn't going to, but if you are going to go and get all 'I'm the policeman' here then i will post one more thing...... "blow it out your piehole" does it feel good to be dressed in a little self created AUTHORITY? -goodbye, good day

These new SS chevy's are great additions to the generals stable and give the average customer a great way to get a performance car that is also practical. Damn, it was too bad that Impala SS was just out of my reach and had a small back seat.

let's judge Ghosn in just a few more years when the true effects of Nissan's poor quality can either wreck the company or they actually re-learn something called quality. the only thing he's fixed so far are balance sheets. He's actually damaged Nissan's rep for quality and many aren't keen on the newest Nissan designs. i like them to a point, but they have a short shelf life. Nissan will be going through what VW is now......a design renaissance that was trailed closely by crap quality which may lead to the 'never again' customer.

That makes me think less of Bill..............and them LIONS aren't doin it for me either. They should send JOEY HARRINGTON TO NASHVILLE TOO.....

that's what we call being a great corporate steward. uproot thousands and piss em off. disrupt numerous lives so they hate their jobs. turnover 1/4 of your staff. GREAT BUSINESS MOVE.

excellent post.

What Does it Mean to Buy American - topic

WCCO read the article and i think there is a video of it too.

nobody here has seemed to specified 'landing strip' vs. 'natural prairie grass'

perefer 30+? Josh, are you MILFIN it up?

"The leadership of the UAW is clearly delusional" and some other good quotes targeted at the management and such. my only fear here is DeL is advocating a Nissan style turnaround. NO, we don't want to be Nissan, putting out sloppy product. he did admit GM's product coming out is first rate, so that's good.

this 30,00 job cut thing is a big volley to the UAW in terms of opening negotiations for the next contract. between that and the delphi thing......GM is throwing out all it can to position themselves to go to war on those contract talks. my guess if the UAW does not give in a major way, that they will scale back even more and go ahead and say, 'we'll be fine with 20% share, go ahead toyota, etc. have the rest' and we'll see even more non union plants go up in the south. then, over time, this will happen. the union MAY actually start to get some of these new asian plants unionized. secondly, as toyota, for example, grows to 25% or more market share, they will bear the brunt of criticism from the press and such. Folks seeking lawsuits will target toyota, this they haven't been to used to before..having to staff up to deal with that stuff. Next, the inevitable huge recall because of mone mistake ALA Explorer, GM side saddle gas tanks etc. Toyota has not been hit with a consumer issue like that yet. How would they fight it/respond? Next, if their share increases to 25-30%, all of sudden toyotas are a dime a dozen, like Tauruses and Gm cars are now. I doubt the 'legendary toyota resale' will hold up at all. When toyota reaches the point where 'everybody's had or has one' then the mystique and such is gone. They will no longer be exclusive to yuppies and smart urbanites and professionals....the trailer trash in the next town will have a toyota, too. Will the crate and barrel set be upset when auction values for used Toyos hit the skids? Then we'll see disintegration of the product. Once you hit the big show...you gotta work twice as hard to keep those production levels up there. Will quality take a hit? All those American suppliers, can they match the reveled quality of the homeland ricemakers? Will they have to pump incentives and dump into fleets to justify keeping those all new plants running enough to make money? Toyota, you asked for it....I hope you can handle it. GM may just be scaling back for 5-10 years to sit in the weeds, regain the ability to make profit, and rid themsleves of outdated labor issues.

rack face ass thighs legs hips those cute and barely noticeable belly bulges milky white blemish free skin hair broad shoulders brown hair (then blondes, followed by a tie of redheads and brunettes) flirty smart put out toes! eyes smile ..... rack. yeah, rack...definitely a plus if they have a nice rack. big or small, its gotta be nice.

1000% well said!

LOL, love the Aerio dig.! Fact is when Suzuki fixed the Aerio interior just recently, its quite well done and in fact compares well. It might even be more desirable than the new Civics game pod interior.

I think it was another magazine, NOT road and track.

"What Ghosn is saying to his employees is that he really doesn't care about them; they are just pieces to move on the board." "Ghosn still is the man of the hour in the auto business, but like I said, when he makes a mistake it's a big one. " normally I hate Flint....but this article is a fabulous viewpoint. I wonder if Carlos Ghosn likes country music. He better learn how to 2 step.

wasn't it Nissan that just got rapped with aving like 4 or more of the least reliable cars? "There is trouble when you create a culture where failure is sanctioned. Then he adds, "There is a lot of incompetence in the industry." hmmm, maybe Carlos, you should look at those JD power numbers...... LOL, carlos MAKES ME LAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
