Well your country was run by an embarrassment for 8 years so you should be used to that – long live Obama !!!
And if we are splitting hairs take for example the new GM flagship Camaro which was designed by Sangyup Lee who has Korean roots !!! A company needs a multinational team to survive globally or didn’t you realise ?

And the only “successful” part of GM now is in Europe with Opel – check out the new Insignia for example – better Design, quality and fuel economy than anything built stateside which is why GM can’t export anything outside it’s shrinking US market either – and with such a cosmopolitan ethnic demographic as the US I wager that your GM wasn’t even built by an “American” anyway – so lets leave politics aside and start loving cars because as with every crisis – necessity is the mother of invention.

Hey “Need more oil for GM” what sort of comment is that ?? Thats like saying we wouldn’t have created a Global economic and political divide if the US hadn’t dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima – this is a car website and not a playground for extremist bigoted comments like yours – stick with four wheels man !!! BTW didn’t Ford and GM etc also build for the military too ??? Look who is being bailed out now…………

Maybe if Mitsubushi hadn’t built warplanes in WW2, they’d have a better reputation in the world.

Johnny, if you recall, and you should Mitsu shot itself in both feet with fake quality reports and cost of maintenance. Their CEO was sued (novel idea, perhaps we should follow their lead) and they had major restructuring. Mitsu also was hangin’ in Benz company and was dropped off credit and help as yesterday news (prelude to ChryCo). Albeit their technology went into Smart and A-Class cars.

Mitsu could very well be the first major casualty of this current mess. Problem is I’m not sure that many people will care if they were.

05Z88Path, they sweep. They sweep like they’ve never swept before. I’m just waiting for the human interest story on ABC news about how this poor guy is going to the poor house because he was an assembly line worker at an auto plant, and they won’t say that he ample opportunity to read the writing on the wall to start looking for a new job.
