1) Ford made a great business decision that kept them alive
2) GM/Chrysler made a bad financial decision that, like other companies normally, ruined them ? [/quote]
Absolutely not. I think Ford just got lucky. If I recall, prior to Bankster meltdown, Ford numbers were worse than GM – in sales AND debt.
It doesn’t really matter to me. I am rooting for all 3 American auto companies and against unfair foreign competition.
This has all been hashed out on this forum earlier and I think most agreed there was enough blame to go around for everyone and concessions have been made by all parties.
So, for the “short thinkers”, and at the sake of being labeled a “jingoist” (actually had to look that one up)I have to ask again, because it seems to fall thru the cracks: What are YOU, as an American, willing to do to help fix what Gov alone cannot ?
Please join me in asking Jeff Bridges to respectfully drop the Hyundai ads and support the country that helped him become the deservedly rich celebrity that he is.
If you have a better idea HOW TO DO YOUR PART TO HELP, I am willing to listen (as long as it it has nothing to do with buying imported car brands).
