Concluzia pe care o trag eu din acest articol e ca industria 
componentelor auto s-a dezvoltat masiv in ultimii ani. De la piese 
de dacie produse prin diverse CAP-uri, la zeci de investitii ale 
unor firme puternice. Daca o parte importanta a acestor investitii 
se datoreaza venirii Renault la Pitesti, putem spera la un al doilea 
val de investitii in aceasta industrie, odata cu trecerea uzinei de 
la Craiova la Ford sau Nissan. Daca si la Aro Campulung ar veni un 
mare constructor, atunci sintagma "Detroitul Europei" ar fi mai 
aproape de realitate...
> Pana atunci Detroitul Europei ramane Slovacia!




:)As vrea intai sa lamurim metafora cu "Detroit-ul Europei" care 
este absolut hilara si total IMPROPRIU folosita in articol:
Detroit este centrul mondial al PRODUCTIEI de automobile de la 
distanta.In Detroit exista (isi au SEDIUL - World HeadQuters) de 
peste un secol cei trei mari producatori de automobile americane(The 
Big Three): General Motors Corportation(#1 in productia MONDIALA de 
automobile continuu din 1931), Ford si Chrysler(devenit Daimler-
Chrysler din 1998).
The Big Three produc in zona MILIOANE de autovehicule (de la 
cars,pick-up trucks,medium trucks, la military vehicles, buses, etc) 
si impreuna cu alti MII suppliers atrasi in zona, au facut ca 
denumirea orasului sa devina "The Motor City" sau "The WORLD Motor 
Capital".
Numai General Motors a vandut in ultimii ani, in fiecare an, peste 6-
8 milioane de autovehicule(cu filialele GM Europe, GM Asia-Pacific, 
GM India, GM Latin-America, Opel, Vauxhall, Holden Australia, 
Daewoo, Isuzu, deci in afara marcilor americane) si realizat peste 
15% din vanzarile mondiale la trucks.

Asadar prin comparate europeana nici PE DEPARTE nu poate fi vorba de 
vreun "european Motor Capital" pe undeva in Romania(nici macar pe la 
distanta, deocamdata...), cu doar 30 de investitori in 16 ani:), cu 
huse de scaune, airbag-uri, volane, cablaje auto si cateva mii de 
angajati si nici nu cred ca va fi vreodata comparativ cu alte zone 
ale Europei.

Din aceasta cauza as fi rugat pe cei de la wallstreet.ro sa fie 
realisti, sa lasam "poezia" (si laudarosenia fara vreo baza), sa 
inteleaga ca "printr-o floare(Renault la Pitesti) NU se face 
primavara", ca mai este FOARTE MULT de facut (si mai putin de 
laudat "poetic"/"metaforic"), ca in Romania NU exista nici pe 
departe nici macar sute de suppliers pe orizontala in demeniu citat 
care sa fie atrasi de PRODUCATORII ROMANI(care lipsesc cu 
desavarsire - Dacia , este DOAR parte a Renault!)asa cum exista MII 
in Bavaria sau in Nordul Italiei...Logan-ul nici macar nu se produce 
NUMAI in Romania ci si in Rusia, Maroc, Columbia si in viitor in 
India si ...probabil in Iran.Am dat articolul(btw, se vorbeste 
despre o productie anuala/vanzari de 1 milion..., comparativ cu GM 
sau producatorii germani:)):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/romania_eu_list/message/32296

Pe de alta parte:
#1 Aro a ajuns "la fier vechi" prin "grija" unui cubanez-american 
care dupa ce avu ceva discutii pe la IRS, a ajuns, pe mana cu "niste 
tovarasi" din fostul guvern, sa distruga o uzina ce inca mai putea 
fi facuta competitiva.
#2 Uzina de la Craiova a pierdut sansa, tot cu fostul regim, sa fie 
preluata de General Motors odata cu preluarea Daewoo, desi GM 
planuieste mutarea productiei de small cars si parte din programele 
mid-size la GM Europe.deci ar fi fost NUMAI bine sa intre si Craiova 
aici...Si intrebati-va oare de ce NU s-a putut...

In ce priveste Ford la Craiova, dati-mi voie sa ma indoiesc avand in 
vedere criza actuala(cum s-ar spune s-a cam pierdut startul si cu 
Ford):
http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?
AID=/20060122/AUTO01/601220408

Raman la parerea ca de vroim sa numim o regiune ca fiind "Detroit-ul 
Europei" apoi aceia va fi pentru inca multa vreme Germania cu 
RENUMITII PRODUCATORI(si retelele de mii de suppliers). 

Posibil ca discutia sa aiba vreo baza reala daca ar fi sa vorbim 
despre "detroit-ul estern european", dar deja sintagma devine 
stangace...

P.S.Inca ceva:La Detroit se tine anual(in ianuarie) Detroit North 
American International AutoShow, ce este considerat cel mai renumit 
Salon Auto din lume deci unul de referinta.Credeti ca incape vreo 
comparatie cu salonul auto SIAB de la Bucuresti din Romania?
Ma abtin sa ma pronunt aici...;)

As mai da un articol care tangential atinge si subiectul cu 
energia...:

Bush Plays Down Bailout Prospects for GM and Ford
The Wall Street Journal

By Christopher Cooper and John D. McKinnon

Jan. 26, 2006

WASHINGTON – President Bush said General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor
Co. should develop "a product that's relevant" rather than look to
Washington for help with their heavy pension obligations, and hinted
he would take a dim view of a government bailout of the struggling
automakers.

In an Oval Office interview, Mr. Bush said that his administration
has discussed the development of new fuel technologies with the
nation's top two automakers, which might make them more competitive,
but that he has had no talks about the companies' finances.

Asked if he had spoken to GM Chairman and Chief Executive Rick
Wagoner or Ford Chairman and CEO William Clay Ford Jr., Mr. Bush
replied: "Not about their balance sheets." He added: "And I haven't
been asked by any automobile manufacturer about a bailout."

Earlier this week, Ford announced sweeping layoffs and plant
closings, amid falling sales and increased foreign competition that
have sparked concerns one or both of the automakers may seek
bankruptcy protection. Both have denied such plans. But the prospect
has fueled speculation that the federal government could face
pressure to bail out the companies, as President Carter's
administration did in 1979 with $1.5 billion in loan guarantees for
Chrysler Corp.

Mr. Bush said little to suggest the companies should find comfort in
that precedent. "I have been very reluctant – I'm mindful of the
past where at one point in time, a predecessor of mine was faced
with that same dilemma," he said. "I would hope I wouldn't be asked
to make that decision."

Asked if the government should take any pre-emptive action, he
said: "I think it's very important for the market to function." He
suggested he felt optimistic about the companies' prospects.

The auto industry's struggles could become a big political issue in
this year's midterm elections and beyond, especially in Midwestern
states such as Michigan and Ohio , where much of the industry's
manufacturing base is located. Ford and GM plan to cut at least
60,000 jobs over the next few years, and the fallout could ripple
across the auto-supply industry as well, whether or not the
companies ever seek bankruptcy protection. While resisting a bailout
could cost Republicans support among some voters, it also would
serve to shore up their support among those who favor free-market
solutions.

While neither GM nor Ford has explicitly sought a Chrysler-style
bailout, the two automakers have dropped hints they would welcome
government help in areas such as coping with rising health-care and
pension burdens and the high costs of developing fuel-efficient
vehicles. And both are key administration priorities in 2006.

Speaking less than a week before his annual State of the Union
address, Mr. Bush previewed his push to harness market forces to
make health care more affordable by giving consumers more direct
control of their care. Among other things, Mr. Bush signaled he
wants to significantly expand the Health Savings Account program,
under which workers who sign up for special high-deductible
insurance are allowed to put away money tax-free to bankroll basic
expenditures.

In discussing the auto companies' woes, Mr. Bush suggested his
sympathies lie more with the workers who are displaced or unsettled
by a changing corporate environment, saying his administration would
focus on ways to retrain laid-off employees. "This is going to be a
very troubling time for workers and their families," Mr. Bush said,
adding that companies had an obligation to assist employees they cut
loose.

On the subject of ballooning pension expenses, which are part of
Detroit 's problems, Mr. Bush called on GM, Ford and the airline
industry to think twice before backing away from their promises to
pay in full. "That's not how the market works and that's not
corporate responsibility as I see it," he said. "I'm very firm on
seeing to it that this government hold people to account."

While neither GM nor Ford has sought to pass on pension obligations,
a few airlines have. After filing for bankruptcy protection, UAL
Corp.'s United Airlines and US Airways Group Inc. dumped nearly $10
billion in unfunded pension obligations on the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corp., the federal insurer of private-sector traditional
pension plans. Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines, which are
currently operating in Chapter 11, have said they haven't decided
whether they will ask the court to shift their pension plans to the
PBGC.

Mr. Bush suggested that one way automakers can make more appealing
products is to promote cars using alternative fuels – a topic he
plans to touch on in his speech next week. He said U.S. automakers
could find new market share in the competition to sell so-called
flexible-fuel vehicles, which can use gasoline or blends containing
such alternative fuels as ethanol.

"As these automobile manufacturers compete for market share and use
technology to try to get consumers to buy their product, they also
will be helping America become less dependent on foreign sources of
oil," he said.

Mr. Bush's discussion of alternative fuels is likely to boost
efforts on Capitol Hill to set targets for reducing U.S. oil
consumption, and to start mandating flexible-fuel technology on
motor vehicles. He said he has been impressed by the example of
Brazil , where alternative auto fuels made from sugar are expected
to soon help that country end dependence on imported oil. But Mr.
Bush's proposal is likely to focus more on government-sponsored
research than expansive new tax breaks for purchase of flex-fuel
vehicles, for example.

On the health-care front, Mr. Bush will call on Congress to provide
more information on providers, including how much they charge, so
consumers can be smarter shoppers. "The patient-doctor relationship
is a crucial relationship in helping control the costs of medicine,"
Mr. Bush said. "The more transparent pricing is, and the more
opportunities patients have to make decisions in the health-care
field, the more likely it is costs will not increase as dramatically
as they have in the past."

He said he also will push for legislation making it harder to file
malpractice lawsuits, which he said are "running up the cost of
medicine." Congress has declined to address this issue in the past.

Acknowledging that he hasn't always managed to get the Republican-
controlled Congress to take on his priorities, Mr. Bush called
Washington gridlock "the challenge of the '06 year." He said he
would make an effort to draw Democrats into the health-care debate.
