How is the Toyota-ized Corvette, which is basically a rebadge of GM's pride and joy, ANY different from THIS, which is a Chevy rebadge of Toyota's pride and joy?
AND as a final point, because I'm so irked at even the suggestion of banning someone for this, I'll bring up this possibility. I wonder what your reaction would be if Ford went into Chapter 7, GM bought the tooling and rights for the Mustang, and turned it into a Chevy. |
Ban for you too...
Im not really going to ban Monaro for his little photoshop, but geeze man...Chevy Mustang? Thats at least an infraction!!
No doubt am I angry about GM's current position due to the fact that they now are laying in the bed they made.
But I am also looking at the other side, that this is this is a major decline in America. In the people, and what this will do to our country.
Reminds me of Ghostbusters, when the EPA, ConEd and NYPD show up at thier door to turn off the grid. It will unleash these demons throughout America, the end of a large manufacturing for America. The total loss of jobs across the board will be massive.

This is not politics as usual and they somehow magically come together and pass it at the last moment. The Republican Party seriously wants the unions destroyed and this they have realised is the first chance they have had in 30 years to do it. And having lost both houses and the Presidency, it's simply too inviting for them not to savour this rare victory for their cause....

This is a good point. With the south as a whole not supporting the bail out of the Northern Domestic auto makers due to the fact that the Imports are a growing part of the south's economy, and most being republican controled states, it doesnt surprise me.
But I have a feeling that could be viewed as an anti-American act, by letter some 2 million people lose thier jobs just because the Republicans are upset they lost thier power.
