[OakRidgeStars]

Here's a preview of one of the Chinese prototype cars that GM may import to the U.S.
Does anyone remember the Chevy Vega?.

Jay if thats the case I'll never buy another Chevy, that old truck I have better last a long time.

I'd rather buy a Toyota at least they are made here in the U.S. and some american has a job.

I couldn't watch the video I'm in the boon docks all I have is dial up.

It's sad that American manufacturing has come to this. There was once a point in time that there was some pride to the old "Made in the U.S.A." Somewhere along the line i think some people in the American car industry forgot that quality goes along with a vehicle thats made in America. Hopefully things turn around.

I've done some research on GM cars produced overseas, especially those in the UK. Its demoralizing to know that they are better quality, similar styles to some here in the US, much better gas mileage (avg 50 mpg), and about 1/2 the CO2 emissions. AND, all that for about the same price. Bottom line is if they can do it "over there" they can do it here. IMO they should be allowed to fail completely.

i agree, but one of my big gripes is that there was a point in time when you saw something that was "Made in the U.S.A." it was almost like a sense of pride, you knew whatever that product was it was built right, or it was a quality piece. now you rarely see that, and the few times you do, often times than not the product is not as good as it should be.

good maybe now they'll actually be driveable.

but on the other hand obama should've have been harder on them...

under bush these companies were able to move jobs out of the US and receive tax breaks for doing so...
on top of that they made inferior products on purpose just to boost their service and aftermarket industry...

obama should've said, i'll give you a bail out if you move those jobs back to Michigan and other places in the US...

did you all hear about chrysler? if you're in the market for one you're in luck...they're demanding that thousands of dealerships close up by july. those dealers can't even give those cars away.

I used to always try to buy American made products, that includes vehicles, but I had to give up. It's almost impossible to do that now, it seems like everything is made in a foreign country. Don't we make anything in the USA anymore.

Doesnt seem like we make much of anything, and the little we do make its made my foreign workers in a U.S. manufacturing facility probably because they undercut the average blue collar taxpaying american by so much

BUY AMERICAN OR APPLY FOR WELFARE IN CHINA

We need to buy American as often as possible. Before you look at the price look at where its made.

totally understand what you are saying and i totally agree, but you have to also agree with the fact that it makes no sense whatsoever how an american made vehicle can cost more than a comparable one made by a foreign company with a stateside plant. i believe the american car companies lost a lot of customers in the 90's (they lost the youth market then which is now the adult market) they produced vehicles that were overpriced for what you got, any smart american would walk into a chevy dealership and see a sedan that retails for say 35k and theyll walk over to a toyota dealership and see a comparable car for 10k less that would probably last 100k more miles. the industry needs a wake up call bad.

I buy American if the price and quality dictate. Otherwise I shop for the deal. I am staunchly against supporting an American manufacturer that provides an inferior product for a superior price. Bottom line is if the foreign manufacturers can do it here better cheaper then so can the American ones. Read my previous post. GM makes a much better car for the same price in the UK. What's up with that? Me buy GM? They've got a long way to go before I consider that proposition.

i'm right on board with how you're seeing things
