It was until they realized they would not be able to find a parts manufacture.

Good Riddance.

Question : In many other industries around the world their is a competition for talent . Many athletes that play on American teams were lured from their countries by big pay checks for example . I wonder why American manufactures did not try identify some of the best Jap and European talent and attempt to steal them away by offering them more money ?

Why pay for someone to fly over, find a place to live, give them benefits and pay that will beat what they were paid originally, just to build a shitty car?

How much of the problem with American cars involves design and how involves the people who build it ? I have herd that American cars have to be built in a cheaper way so that their is money to pay what is know as legacy cost . When the air lines went bankrupt for example the retires lost their valuable medical benefits . With the auto bankruptcy , the auto worker retires did not lose anything . Do you think thats fair ?

h22a4sam · 10-03-2009, 01:27 PM

These corporations want maximum profit for minimum cost. So first round draft pick panel installers are not on the top of the to do list.

BlkLUDE5G · 10-03-2009, 02:10 PM

yea ^ think more like 28th round

BlkLUDE5G · 10-03-2009, 04:28 PM

this answers sooo much!!

dblair · 10-05-2009, 02:28 PM

Lot of people out of work....not good!

01preludepimp · 10-05-2009, 05:09 PM

Good Riddance, sorry to be negative guys but for an american company that charged import prices for parts and that has never turned a profit since its inception should have been taken out alot time ago.

No, legacy cost isn't the issue. The problem with American cars is due to arrogance. If I remember right in the mid 80's, Chrysler had a chance to work with honda or toyota, cant remember which one. It was a all but a done deal. The board dissed the idea to point the offend the other party personally.

I blame the UAW. They have become more of there own company then a union for the people.
