We the USA are broke and in debt to the tune of 12+ trillion dollars. Who’s going to finance your next bail out? China !!! Just like the current bailout. AMERICA IS BROKE, BUSTED, Out Of Money. The only money we have to spend is coming from overseas countries buying our worthless treasuries and bonds.
The president and treasury secretary have to go begging for money from China…that’s why there’s a green light to move everything to China. ( This isn’t America….that was sold off to the communist years ago by the so called capitalist)

With no one making a decent living, we will not be buying cars, houses or anything of value. Food and Rent is all the average people will be able to afford. American’s will not matter to big business very soon.

The real market for cars will be in China where the money is. ( China isn’t broke $$$, China is adding jobs everyday, China is growing everyday, Chinese are making more money everyday, They will be buying more cars than America is a year or less, China will take over the USA within a decade or two……Face it)

Printing money and trading pieces of paper back and forth can’t go on for much longer.

I buy ONLY American made GM cars….when there are no more, I will stop buying them. I’ll buy used American made for the rest of my life if I have to…but I’ll NEVER BUY ANOTHER IMPORTED CAR.

America is dying and the band played on…….. You sheep have gotten what you want. More and more cheap disposable imports. The more you buy the more they will make. It’s the consumer who decides and they have choosen their imports and their OWN DENSINY. You want to change things ….you have to STOP BUYING FOREIGN and the corporations will change. I don’t think America doesn’t have the will to do it.

SEE YOU IN 3RD WORLD AMERICA…IT’LL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

Out of work, starving food food…..You can Eat Your Import (if your not already living in it)

I am almost certain that if we deleted the 1st amendment from our Constitution, (which will effectively bring the demise of labor unions, such as UAW) we will once again become the “Cheapest Labor Force in the World” (Which we did kinda have, prior to Civil War. Slavery, ring a bell?) and bring all’em manufacturing jobs back.

Man… why are we so stressed about money and economy when we are the richest nation in the world? (13.4 trillion GDP 2008) May I suggest a little Henry David Thoreau to distract us away from our paranoia for a bit?

Chinese made products include:

All computers(your PC or laptop is Chinese made)
All cellphones(your pretty iPhone is made in China)
Most Clothes(your designer wear suits are most likely Chinese made though could also be Bangladeshi etc)

Damn one of the biggest imports from China to America is Chinese made American flags!

Your pro-American bumper sticks are made in China. Your TV’s on which you watch the presidents speech are made in China. There are literally a handful of things not made in China.

With everything else in America being made in China what do you think is going to happen inevitably with cars?

Quality won’t be a problem because you can’t really make American cars worse quality than they already are if you tried.

With everything else in America being made in China it’s inevitable the entire American car industry will be run by the Chinese and you can mark my words on that. It’s not exactly a big loss considering if you had a grain of intelligence you’d know that the damn car parts for American cars are outsourced from Mexico so it’s not really a big deal in the bigger picture considering American cars are hardly American made as it is.

GM is the first one soon the others will follow just like what happened with the American electronics companies when one outsourced and then all of them followed.

Damn as an investment banker I’d hate to think what you guys think about China owning the bonds in the US treasury(assuming you know what that means of course).

If companies would source more parts and assembly from this country, we wouldn’t be in this situation. When the domestic three were essentially what everyone bought, things were great. GM was the first company to profit 1 billion in a year, then the first to two billion, and so on. Which is why they have such financial problems now. They started all these “to good to be true” benifit plans, such as full pension, full heath coverage with no copay along with top wages to employees. When imports slowly worked their way into market share from the eighties on up, the domestic three were stuck paying for stuff they can’t afford from previous decades. If japanese companies were around and popular in the US from the 40s/50s era and on, they would be in the exact same situation.

People claim outsourcing doesn’t hurt, they are wrong. It may be cheaper to outsource, but people who don’t have jobs still can’t afford the product. The GDP has a direct relationship with how many people will have jobs/(money) in this country. China doesn’t outsource much, and their economy has been rapidly growing in recent years, the US on the other hand does, and its economy has been rapidly weakening.

And yes,I realize we don’t always have a choice when making a purcase. It’s more of a company management problem than a consumer problem.

We used to hang on to our cars until they wore out or we handed them off to our kids. We used to dream of the house with the white picket fence in the suburbs with a cat and a dog, two kids and a real yard. We shopped at the corner grocery and hardware stores on main street. Dad and or mom worked, and dinner was 6:00.

What have we got now?

We trade in cars before we are done paying for them. We buy houses that are to big and expensive with lawns so small our kids can have spitball fights with the neighbor’s kids. If they had any. Our dogs come from puppy mills because everybody wants a Papillon. We shop at the home depot and wally world while our main streets have become war zones. Mom is alone with the kids, now recently laid off as her IT job was outsourced to India. She is suing dad for child support, which is not coming this month because his job at the plant was moved to China. The kids don’t care, because Johnny is on his playstation and Jenny is going deaf with her ipod cranked up too loud. Dinner is at Mickey-D’s

You can’t blame China or any other country for what we are doing to ourselves.

If it’s made in China, it’s made in China. What makes an iPod (For example) morally acceptable to buy and not a car?

And I think calling someone a traitor is a little pointless when even American cars have Mexican parts in them…

If you have an American Flag bumper sticker on your car, just remember it was probably made in China.

The Computer you’re complaining on, or going on irrelevant, misguided rants (mayer_ray_nagin) with no political acumen or understanding, was at least partially made in China.

On another note, I went to the Chinese Buick website. I didn’t know they produced a Hybrid LaCrosse for that market.

GM is going to have to add some models to flesh out it’s American Buick Dealerships. 2 lackluster sedans & a large corssover isn’t enough. I appreicate the looks of the next Epsion II based Lacrosse & I hope it does well for them. The Insignia seems to be it would be a nice midline model (esentally replacing the Aura & G6 after they stop productiion. I am also hoping that Buick benefits from the Hybrid Tech that Saturn uses or developed. Why can’t these systems be adapted to cars than small cross overs (2 mode Vue) .

This Delta based car ( next gen Opel Astra) in my opinion should be available as a sedan or wagon for Buick U.S.A.. A hatch just doesn’t seem to “fit” with the brand. & it should be a couple notches up in horsepower, quality & styling, quietness

& is there REALLY a market in the US. for microcars? Not in my area of the country (mid south) where 2500 HD pickups prevail along with full aized SUV’s. Right now I drive a 2007 Honda Civic/ I don’t drive much iit on ly has 11,00 miles on it. I am going back American next time the Cruze & the next generation Focus as well as the Fiesta & I am going to waite at least a year after have been on the market.

Obama is depending on China to fund his bullcrap s.o.c.i.a.l.i.s.t programs thru their loans, and the only way he going to get it from them is by strong-arming his little biatch GM into giving the Chinese an easy bite of the north american market.

A-hole bozo-äss POSident Barky Obolshevik. Stupid idiots voted for this crap with our shiny new dictator in chief.
