Did those business scholars happen to mention how labor laws essentially
enabled the unions to hold their employers hostage until they agreed to
those exorbitant demands? There's a reason why companies fight unionization
of their shops, or move their operations down south where unions hold far
less ideological sway.
I think gM and all of the other auto companies by now should have gone with
a different structure. Kinda like proctor and gamble where the employees
own shares of the company. don't konw if they have anything like this
currently instated.
I remember when pro-union states had a thriving auto manufacturing industry
before UAW helped to strangle it. Hence, the migration of the industry to
the more business-friendly south.
Many business scholars feel auto industry executives dropped the ball by
agreeing to exhorbitant union demands over the years. Personally I like the
profit sharing concept.

how many days till friday!

Why doesn't John mention the extreme amounts of torque steer and the
understeer on the Ford Focus RS? the regular RS has 300 bhp and it has so
much torque steer it is almost dangerous. and the RS500 as 345bhp!! I mean
so it has differentials but it doesn't really fix the torque steer.
shouldn't the viewers have a more comprehensive data? I know John knows
this stuff. Is he ingnoring it just to make the car seem better?
GM CEO Dan Akerson is really putting his stamp on the company by shuffling some of its top-level executives. It looks like the UAW is targeting Toyota first as it ...
What were they thinking with that Nissan?! " Guys, i know this brilliant
idea, instead of starting at one point we'll start at three. We got the
Ford and Dodge up front and Chevy at the side and back! Complete original
idea!"

Comapny cars!!! I know how businesses can save a shit load of
money....since they desperatly need it. GET RID OF COMPANY CARS. CEOs don't
need them! They have their own cars! Let them drive for once and you could
actually help to save your company/ fiscal budget. GAH!!!
Way too manmy people, especially younger ones, are roped into believing
that American cars are unreliable. I guess if you want to use 20 year old
data, that could be true. But todays cars are just as good, if not better
than anything coming from Japan or Europe. US automakers haven't done a
good enough job defending their products from the bullshit lies and
inuendos. It all boils down to this: Buy American or you'll be sorry
someday that you didn't.
Amen, brother My 1990 Chevy Astro lasted me 10 years and was still running
like clockwork when I traded it in for a fuel flexible Tahoe. Why do people
need to ruin our economy and send our money overseas by buying from
mitsubishi? They built the A6M2 Zero; the plane used to bomb pearl harbor
and kill our boys in uniform! Volkswagen built the vehicles that the Nazis
used to kill our boys in Europe! Mercedes built tanks and Hitler's limo!
Look. Real simple. Either buy American or go fuck yourself 'cause you're a
faggot. I have a '97 Ford Explorer (135k miles) and a 2000 Ford Crown Vic
Police Interceptor (67k miles) and they have never given me any problems.
SO those that say American cars aren't reliable are full of shit and have
never bought a late '90s - early 2000's Ford.
Amen! Why do people need to ruin our economy and send our money overseas by
buying from mitsubishi? They built the A6M2 Zero; the plane used to bomb
pearl harbor and kill our boys in uniform! Volkswagen built the vehicles
that the Nazis used to kill our boys in Europe! Mercedes built tanks and
Hitler's limo!
Dude same here, thats exactly what my dad said, everyone please buy
American, I have a 1979 Chevy Camaro and it runs like a beauty, I have no
idea why people spend their money while its going to Japan, the people who
bombed us at Pearl Harbor. Please people, lets get America running again,
BUY AMERICAN!!
yea, i had a honda civic and that car felt like it was going to fall apart
when you hit a bump or good size pot hole. they can say what ever they want
about the reliability of the domestics. but at least the domestics arent
gonna fall apart when you drive them down the road
It ain't only about where the car is made, it's also where the money ends
up!!! Jap and Korean cars don't leave money here. Buying an American car
made in America keeps Americans employed and keeps the auto companies
building here. LONG LIVE THE RUST BELT!
I always have owned American brand automobiles. Weather or not they were
actually manufactured in the US is another subject, but I've never owned a
foreign rice burner of any sort.
You forgot the Chevy Volt 230 miles per gallon!!! This will stop all
imports - including oil. America will be dependent on no one!!! (Except
God, that is)
