Chrysler Going Bankrupt: Fiat Merger Ahead

[hideyoursheep]

I've seen an American edition Toyota....I don't know what that means, but...

[ELVIS]

Well, Toyota builds many vehicles here, even here in Lousy-ana and import them from here to who knows where...

BTW, all of these Japanese companies here are non-union as far as I know, otherwise, those jobs would be in Mexico or some other third world country...

American edition Toyota ??

Was that like a specially badged model, because like I said, most Toyotas are built right here...

[hideyoursheep]

Yes, that's what the badge said...I don't know what it means...

[ELVIS]

it probably means it's $5000 more than the same car without the badge...

There's a big tariff on importing foreign motor vehicles the Regan set up to protect Harley-Davidson. So to circumvent that Toyota (among others) set up assembly plants in the US.

As will others in the future, hopefully, especially with a very downsized GM and whatever the hell happens to Chrysler...

Who wouldn't???!!!



Is it the price?



Man, fuck those Civics....I tried one for shits and giggles...it felt like a go-cart.

No, it wasn't a new one.

You can get a Mazda3 for less actually. I almost leased one....unfortunately, the 3 is the only decent thing Mazda makes...

Not in Japan...

But then, the unions in Japan were basically just drinking clubs and the Japanese corporate types had a different ethos as far as responsibility and treating their workers better to maximize motivation and productivity...

[ELVIS]

Yeah, twenty years ago they would execute your ass...

[Nickdfresh]

Yeah, twenty years ago they would execute your ass...

Not at all. They provided employment for life virtually guaranteed and paid high wages...

We are Japan's Mexico.

[Nitro Express]

Heh, Chrysler went bankrupt when they started putting "fine Corinthian leather" in their piece O' shit cars

Yeah. Not too mention the evil Kahn was selling that Corinthian leather. Probably the skin of genetically cloned Star Fleet personel.

We are Japan's Mexico.

Soon to be China's Mexico. We have to send Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over to Bejing to beg for money so we can buy our Japanese cars.
