[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 429497, member: 484"] strings attached to the bail out? wonder why. its control as for the import restrictions being lifted that was the problem, not really. its the fact that the big three had a closed shop, no free choice for the customer. you either buy what we make, or do without. kinda like the company store. open up the field for better looking cars, more selection, that is a good thing. funny though, now 25-30 years later how much they all look alike? detroits issues are the following 1 did not change with the times/customer preferences and needs 2 were hamstrung by union agreements that made it very costly to change 3 were hindered by countless regulations passed by a democratic congress 4 even when they started losing market share, they did not change business plan 5 had no incentive to control costs passed on to customers and of course the biggest reason you will see the bail out, dems are in control. they had to have the auto heavy state's votes. without, they would have lost the support of the unions and the popular vote. so no bail out, kiss the next elections good by. as for safety issues, euro cars are safe, just small. the wheel of the 18 wheeler will just go over the car instead of pushing it down the road 700 feet. but that is why it gets the gpm's. of course if dems would have allowed the oil drilling off shore, oil that is ours, but is now being taken by cuba with help of the chinese and russians, but now the election is over, funny how that is now on the back burner? as for what rush says, im glad he agrees with me, as i dont have the time to listen to him. d [/QUOTE]
