Honda layed off 500 workers today, and scrapped their F1 racing team. You dont see those guys begging cash from congress.

Only in america would we even back some baillout bullshit like this. I say let em fial and see where the chips fall afterward. They have no idea wtf they're going to do with that money if they get it. Hell its just to keep Chrysler afloat until they can find someone else to buy em.

If you are watching the feed with the House right now, the rep from IL is ripping the Big 3.

They're just going thru the motions. They dont give a shit what the house members bitch at them about....they're prob sitting there and all they hear is charlie brown's teacher and thinking "when in the hell are they just going to give us the damn money already?"

hush...that is secret. No one knows that Germans bailed out their domestic automakers, too.

oh no our city is going to turn into a bigger shithole.

I dunno man, that'd be pretty tough to do. There's a freaking garbage dump larger then the building the Pistons play in, right next to it.

Ford has consistently been beating the Asians now in quality and safety but I bet you have a buddy who owns a Ford and says otherwise?

No sir, actually i owned a Ford once, a Taurus, was almost brand new and was the biggest pos i have ever seen.

My parents have sworn by American for years, last night my dad and i went looking at Hondas to replace his American 2003 minivan that's dying at 75k.

American car quality has come so far down in the past 10 years.

ever rode in a Chevy cobalt? yeah great American "quality" right there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

late model American, sorry.

i do love me some American muscle pre 1975ish.

I can see you are going to remain stuck in your ways so there is no bother.

 

[loopkiller 10+ year member]

I have seen some recent models that seem to have much better quality than other domestic vehicles of the last 20 years. Here are a few:

Chrysler 300C

Ford Fusion

Chevy Malibu (new one)

Those I have seen first hand and can say they are on par with my Honda.

You realize Chrysler assembles a few lines of VW's vehicles, and will be assembling more in the future if they don't go under?
