ParticipantMine arrived recently too. Always seems like I rush at the last minute to research propositions. Wanted to get a head start if anyone on the Piggington panel had thoughts, would love to hear them….

ParticipantTurns out, GM talked to Ford about a possible merger before talking to Chrysler. And, Ford’s looking to sell its stake in Mazda to raise cash….

ParticipantAbsolutely, quality is an issue. I don’t know that I’d buy another US manufacturer’s car (the last one we purchased was from a Japanese manufacturer despite wanting to buy American.)
US auto’s break down too much. For something that costs $25 to $75 thousand dollars, you’d think that if you take care of it, it should last 10 to 15 years, no problems.
Haven’t owned European cars, so I can’t comment.
I don’t recall where I heard this, but someone mentioned that they believe that automobiles will begin to drop in price. I could easily see that happening. Car dealers chasing less wealthly consumers.

ParticipantI think people overconsumed because they could. Loose lending, big business that was happy to let and encourage people to get in over their heads – look at how the whole credit card industry works, or doesn’t.
Overall, people should be able to exercise control. But, we don’t educate our citizens to show restraint. I think overconsumption is deeply engrained in our culture.
My parents were “Depression era” folks and that rubbed off on their kids. Maybe you have to experience it directly or vicariously through your mentors to get it.
Just too bad that we can’t have any confidence in our elected officials or business leaders.
But maybe we can teach our kids these values. Or, maybe they will learn directy for themselves.
