And/or perceptions haven't shifted fast enough... I do think that not maintaining a diverse portfolio at all times was a grave error. Even so, these are extraordinary times that are testing everyone (Toyota included). Without swift, smart, intervention by the feds, we are all in for a very rough ride the likes of which only those at the end of their lives can claim to remember.

Certainly you have a valid criticism there, but to assume that it would have been enough to stave off this crisis is doubtful. EDIT: It is also immaterial, given the punishing we will all take if GM is allowed to go belly-up.

I just got an automated e-mail response from my congressman promising a more detailed response later.

Glad to hear it, Haypops!
-
Perhaps. But then again, the company might be on the brink no matter who was running the show. The brink shifted one hell of alot closer in the last month or so through no fault of GM management.

I seem to recall that bonuses and salary were reduced for top execs at GM quite a while back... Am I mistaken?
-
It's called a bargaining chip,Satty. :AH-HA_wink:
-
It is baffling, and terrible... but reversible if we hurry.

The convertible was delayed to the 2011 model year months ago before the current crisis. This is old news.

Politicians listen to polls and votes, it's worth the effort.

Of course it will make a difference. The more we participate, the bigger the difference.

Noted.

Yes. Doesn't it then follow that an extrapolation of the familial defines a national identity?
-
Beautiful post Longtooth... I can see it. But then again, I've also lived it.

That really is the heart of the matter, FOG. We need to foster a real sense of pride in our own capabilities again.
-
That Time piece is pretty well on target - especially the conclusion.
-
Baseless drivel, stupid assumption, and flawed thinking - again.
-
That whole thread is a good read, BTW.
-
Bravo Longtooth! This simple truth seems to have largely faded from the American reality - much to our detriment. There is honor and value in all work.
-
Absolutely true. Now is not a time for ideology and infighting, it is a time for pragmatism and action. There is only one choice in the here and now, the govt. must make these loans to the auto industry. The catastrophe resultant from not doing so is an option we simply cannot choose. To do so would be a gross misconduct of our leadership. Grit our teeth and make the loans now, or endure the effects of a new Depression. The choice before us really is just that simple and stark. Choose.

Questionable credibility to say the least.
-
Absolutely, Longtooth. This is deadly-serious business now. It has real consequences attached for all of us. But, that article misses so many salient points - the authors need to do more research.

You're kidding, right?

That Elite is rediculously clean.
