My Goodbye to Cadillac

[majax]

The smaller dollars in the company like Toyota are here adn then the big bucks go back to Japan. I am glad the imports came along because it's making American cars better. Buying a GM car affects the DowJones more than a toyota or honda, unless bought used.

The trucking industry??? 250,000 less Cadillacs to be trucked to dealers? So, So very much more !!

Absolutely correct!!!! There is so much more that would be affected negatively by this type of thinking and purchasing.

Same applies to Ford.

How about the restaurant and food industry? Unemployed people cannot afford to consume as much as they could before, etc. Restaurants suffer. How about the technology and computer industry? Technology industry suffers. Don't cars use those too? Laid off workers would have to sell their homes. The list goes on and on.....

This type of action/thinking would put North America in a major economic crisis IMO!

Do you think Japan or Germany cares if we have more people on Welfare to feed? No! They only care if we buy their cars so they make profit.

Everyone go out and buy a Timex or an Armitron watch! Support YOUR local economy directly. Forget that nice Swiss Rolex.

True, when Ford does bad it hurts us all

One of the saddest things I posted a while ago. I'll repeat it.

In every country of the world that produces cars, one of their own, is the top seller, except America ! (and) We wonder why the ecenomic turn down, the lay offs the lack of growrh ?

Germany: Volkswagon
France: Renault
Sweeden: Volvo
England: (I had said Jaguar, but later found out I was wrong!) English Ford
Italy: Fiat
Japan: Toyota
Checzk: Skoda
America? Toyota

Remeber.... there are only 8 American cars left !! Japan knows. Do You ???

No "Vision" though? No worry, when I get the extra in the mail I'll let you know.

I guess U.S. Postal service is faster than Canada Post!! We ordered at the same time!

GM being so large is worse when they have to lay off because MORE would be laid off than other companies.

I guess we do know our duty of buying American/Canadian.

"In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks and a White House-sponsored industry summit focused on nationwide economy recovery, General Motors announces its unprecedented "Keep America Rolling" zero-percent retail-marketing program. The program proves to be a major boost to both the auto industry and the US economy, with GM vehicle sales increasing 31 percent in just the first month of the program."
