$14.00 to start, that's good!
I have very little sympathy for Detriot! What am I saying,"I could care less"! I will not and won't, but a automobile made by the big 3! They dug their hole, let them go Chapter 11!

Yeh, and let millions of Americans loose their jobs sending this country into an actual depression, again. Yeh, they've dug their own holes, but lets remember what's at stake here.

$25 Billion dollar loan, or Chapter 11, many of them will still lose their job, or be laid off! "One way or the other, nothing is going to change that"!

Didn't Honda just do this as well in Tennessee as well or something? It's good to see the foreign cars THAT EVERYONE WANTS come to the US and make there cars here.

Its becoming cheaper to build cars here which is both good and bad. Good for obvious reasons: more GNP for the U.S. and an increase in employment in mid to low income areas. Cons: GDP (show up in respective countries of orign by make), increased competition for the domestics who just don't seem to get it no matter what, and USD is weaker (makes it cheaper to build domestically - at least for the Europeans).
