Again burocratic BS
"We need clean fuel efficiant cars" OK so we get them and they want to tax us even more for that. When is enough enough. By the way its not the eco cars tearing up the roads in oregon its the trucks with 3 trailers pulling heavy loads. GET A GRIP OREGON.

Hamas is not the ones provoking the jews to commit genocyde like they all claim they lived. Look at the facts how big was Gaza in 48 and now. What if someone came to your house drug you out shot you dead and then leveled it just to increase their border, would that be fine and dandy.
Hamas grew to power becouse its goverment at the time wouldnt defend the people that were running from rockets, and home invasions. Sure alot of you take the israely side but have you ever stopped to think there are two sides to this and one keeps getting smaller and smaller.

I bought a Nissan once brand new. Some ole cowboy scolded me and said BUY AMERICAN. To bad the ole duffer didnt know it was American autoworkers that built it. Now as it has been said a billion times throwing more money after good isnt going to fix the problem. The US heads and chiefs were so busy killing folks that they didnt look out for what they said they were the US tax payer. Look now the government has stepped in to keep these 3 solvent but what if they would have stepped in and put conditions in place that would have made them more receptive to what the market and the consumer demanded would they still be in this predicament. How about if they were forced to spend a little to design something more eco friendly? Funny japan is a long ways away from the states but they know whats on the consumers mind and they have the technology to be more conservative. I would drive a Toyota hybrid any day, whats the US have to compare a flex fuel monstrosity that still cost more to operate. This vice pres should have reigned in his congress and help enact some better laws or guidelines instead of looking for more ways to wage war.

Sorry Yaks are too lazy they would have dumped the body at a construction site. Sounds more like this was premeditated and the poor guy was a little large for the suitcase.

Better hope the suns out in the bay of Eden so they can outrun them pirates. Belive it or not Japan is still sending boatloads of cars to the ME, as the credit crunch didnt hit as hard there.

I wonder what the secret service budget to protect this ass and his puppet is. They could give that in the bail out. Hopefully US tax money wont be spent protecting dick in the sand.

Ill admit I love the LSX series engines GM has been building, and the LS9 would be an awesome plant in something other than the vett. I hope the new camero isnt as big of a let down as the new challenger. The charger was just that WHY a 4door. I just finished building the first LS1 V8 powered subaru. People actually thought it was a hoax, said it couldn't be done.

I have owned and still own a few cars most people dont or wont. The most dependable is the Honda miss dxxjp drives. Second would be my 95 rx7. I have boosted the power to almost 500rwhp and its still as relaiable as when it was stock. I also have had a Ferrari and I still have a diablo. Neather of thease can be dayly driven and need special care to keep them going. I have a late 80's camero and Vett, the vett its a pile of crap always breaking down and the camero well it just runs. I can honestly say that the honda has been the most efficiant, comfortable, reliable ( Wife drove it without oil for a while ), and value for money. If honda made something more apealing than the NSX that still ranked as a super car I would own it and give up all the others. When the US can build something as dependable, scratch that when the rest of the world can then they all might be on the right path. I drive a lexus when Im in saudi and its full of quality but its value for money is not balanced.
I believe were going to see what happened to US bike manufactures. We'll be down to one manufacture and be overtaken by cheep, dependable, value for money cars from other countries like Honda did with bikes in the US. If you look at how the Japanese bike manufactures have put a quality piece in every class its not hard to see that consumers will change there minds and become faith full buyers. Harley Davidson is now just a niche market of die hard its got to be American made, and they still lack the technology, and craftsmanship of the Japanese.

Well it works like this.
They hit the lug nuts with a hammer to see if their tight. check your high beems to see if their pointed right check your parking brake with a drum under the back wheels check to make sure your speedometer reads a proper 40kph then they put your car on a shaker and check for god knows what.
And for all that they charge you up to 100000 yen plus what the dealer strapped you for under the guise you need the 12500yen frame paint to pass. They will smile in your face and steal your money for what is basic maintenance. Imagine if they pulled this in the states to get plates.

Shaken is a government sponsored shake down for dealers to gouge more unnecessary maintenance out of you. Its a scam that was put in place by the gov. and Toyota back in the day along with the driving schools that bang you for 3g to get a license which most people get for next to free in high school.
Until you have been threw the shaken shake down do you realize that your getting scammed. Tell me how is some fool pounding on your lug nuts a safety concern. Im sure your car would pass as 9 out or 10 can with no repairs.
Like I said above the UAW should shut up or put up its TAX payers money if they want to go to work take the cut or get in a employment line. Im sure the unemployment benefits will cost less than a bail out.

Sez I understand that but with a choice of taking a pay cut or joining the unenjoyment line I think they should step back and look at the pro's ,and con's of each. How come japanese manufactures dont have all this problem with the UAW. Right now any job is worth keeping. Maybe they should turn on the NHK and see what japan is doing to stay in business, which I might add isnt a bailout from the gov just yet.

Its not always been just the big threes fault. Remember thay still have some controlling interest from the oil co's, as well as government subsidies. As long as they fit inside of the week US guidelines for MPG ratings then they can crank out anything that will keep consumers half interested until they cant afford the gas. Since when did we need them huge escalades, excursions. Now look japan has been able to meet foriegn consumers wishes, and now Korea is catching up.
I know of about 100 people waiting for the new Hyundai genesis coupe, something the US hasnt even dreamed of offering. Dont get me wrong there are some US cars I would like to have but not as a daily driver as I know they are for fun. But with a japanese auto you can have both. Whats even worse is that the US economy is hurting japan who actually cared about what US drivers wanted, and wasnt inadvertently controlled by the oil company's.

I agree I dont want to see a million homeless but for the UAW to define the terms of a Gov. sponsored loan to the company is BS.
I remember how Iaccoca (SP) saved Chrysler with the Mini van and some help, but the UAW weren't deciding the bail out it was the company and its creditors.
Maybe they should all change up and do a Delorian bail out.

Never ceases to amaze me when someone gives a hand out or a leg up its never enough. I would have told them this is it take it or leave it. When the UAW got snooty I would have taken the offer off the table and seen how well the wages were then.
These company's are just as much to blame. Selling cars to people that couldn't afford them as well threw their own credit company's. Come on we have all heard the commercials ( bad credit, NO credit we will get you financed) this was to turn out sales numbers thats all.
