Not bad for Fiat you mean.
Too Funny.
Exactly where would Chrysler be right now without Fiat or Govt loans? All the American car companies would have tanked ,closed up shop, and all the workers in good ole Detroit could sit on their porches and talk about the good ole days. If and when they could afford a new car,they could buy a fine automobile made by a foreign owned company located somewhere in the South.

The strange thing is that some folks believe that assembling a vehicle here somehow makes it American made and justifies ownership while pushing off any guilt through denial!

The reality of purchasing foreign made...the R&D, the design, the engineering the administration and every other non assembly line grunt work aspect of foreign, results in huge profit back to the motherland of the particular company.

Thinking assembly line only, is so small minded!

People that buy foreign for the most part, are buying into trends and keeping up with the Jones's!

Hey, I say buy what you like, but lets not BS anyone about it!

Yes that's very true...

and today it's a well known fact that it was all a political ploy...

stunted by obama and lahood to enable the NHTSA to get more money to end its' dismal existence.

UAW needs to realize that American car workers aren't that special. Same quality labor can be had elsewhere for less.

yes, and those non union made cars are not being sold cheaper to you, just more money for the CEO and the owners in Japan
I don't care at all about cheap or expensive. I care about quality, looks and performance. Nothing designed or made it Detroit has it. Sorry.:)

One more think: do you really think that Toyota owners are all Japanese? Americans don't invest in Toyota shares? Wake up. There are not privately owned outfits, but internationally traded public companies.:) How silly.

and let's not forget to mention...

"Obama talks about the auto bailout frequently, since it’s one of the few things in his record that gets positive responses in the polls. But he’s probably wise to avoid probing questions, since the GM bailout is not at all the success he claims." http://www.humanevents.com/2012/08/23/michael...

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Libra

Going shopping today? Then don't be surprised if you splash out on items that are that little bit different from your usual purchases. For instance, if you set off for the supermarket you might end up buying lots of exotic ingredients so you can experiment with them. This is unlikely to get out of hand unless you're feeling bored or fed up, in which case you'll want to spend your way out of your current mood.
