First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I agree with most of your posts on this, but remember this: When GM and Ford were shipping production (i.e. jobs) OUT of this country to Canada and Mexico, the Japanese and Koreans were building plants IN this country. Same culture, same pool of workers, but a vastly different result. GM and Ford were running from the unions, period. Now instead of having competent/trained workers, they have an inexperienced worker and the equivalent "8 bucks and hour" quality. Honda builds cars right here in Ohio and they do more for my state than the Mexican Ford Focus ever will. As for quality, for example, my buddy Dan's 2000-ish focus has a severely rusted oil pan; when have you EVER heard of such a thing. That is why he won't buy another Ford.
Regardless, GM killing Pontiac is f'n dumb. They should have never taken Obama's money.
