Why I'd Buy Toyota, The #1 Automaker in the U.S.

Thanks for your comment and sounding like a person who wants America to stay NO. 1 and keep american money here and YES the BIG 3 would make do great making electric cars --- as the batteries used by Toyota are an american discovery so one up USA not toyota. Also I've been a mechanic for 50 years and still feel that all in all I'll take an American car - FIRST _ SECOND _ THIRD

Fuel Systems Solutions Conceptualizes a Better Energy Policy

some are reporting that we don't have as much natural gas that can be recovered cheaply and trying to get oil we MAY hit some natural gas. So if we go electric we will be short of the electricity needed to charge electric cars to travel longer distance's. All that I hear is it sounds like an overnight job to have fuelling station, electric outlets, and solar power panels on a small auto(their heavy)and hell shut all the gas powered auto and trucks and school busses, trains and whatever down because in the morning we'll be ready to go. Oh by the way Michael --- I have faith in American industry -- not like some of you pencil pushers and you don't seem to care enought for you Country ( or is this your Country) sounds like you would rather have more American money and jobs go then stay here. I feel some of our problem was caused by j-r-s- with thinking like that --- Were here -- and it's our problems and we have the ability and brains to do this for ourself -- so lets start by showing ourselfs and other countrys that we don't only fight for what freedom we have left but we were and can be the leaders in the industrial world. Lets not take the easy way out as this might be harder but the lets start getting off our lazy behinds and quit talking and do it with American labor and know how -- NOW --- Sure it would be better to send all our e oh hell we let our steel industry go -- who out there thinks that was so smart ?? Who's the fool that started this free trade grap - I know -- do you / / I had hoped that GM and Chrysler would not have gotten involved with the Gov. Lets remember the three US auto makers were making what most Americans wanted to buy - sure now they turn-tail -- I would also like to say that toyoto made their share of gas guzzler - their truck was the biggest gas guzzler and no power to perform - and to ---well Obama say GM has too many models -- how many foreign makes and brands are in this country compared to US makes -- this is the best way to run a Country - Have as much as the traffic will bare of OUT OF COUNTRY products---- BULL

Why the Government Is Keeping GM Alive

You talk about the good old USA --- and all you goof balls that love all but US made products go to H--- and MOVE to J A PAN or CHINA and buy a book and see what GM has really done in the car industry. I'm glad that I won'd be around to see the type of country US will be with JERKS and I don't want my poor hands dirty ---- type of people ---- you really need to start thinking for yourself --- and yes let the news run all the elections and just listen to hi and lows and use of Adj. and the general terms and special news break-in's -- do you remember when the news was only on to tell you the news and not to interpret and try to be the judge. Like being embedded with our soliders -- what the hel- is war turning to -- like torture -- no-way - but the cutting or chopping off of heads is ????

General Motors: A Brief History

Younger American (I'm 67) seem to have a whole different outlook at what they buy. the ones I've talk to don't seem to care how much is lost in $$ and jobs and love for their country. Maybe it's our Gov. or the people that we elect and the ones that are very dishonest and that don't stand by their WORDS. By buying US made goods and by not buying so much foreign goods, outsourcing,and like --- when talking about cars --the remark - there made here, US - by being put togeather here - not made here our wonderful Gov. does have a tarrif on those cars - - has anyone come up with how much fuel it takes to shipped all these parts and goods - how much pullution --- I could go on and on ---------We came up with the car Generater -- and much needed Alternater's and on -- the US not someone else ---- The manufactors made what the people wanted and maybe the Gov. wanted the high gas prices ??.

Will the U.S. Start a Car Scrapping Incentive Program?

who's the blame for Ford - GM - Chr.- having moreof their products made in other countries - you fools that think and buy cars (foreign made) the foreign car parts are shipped in and assembled in the US. O K when times are good where does the profit go from the sales of those cars - foreign ones - --- I say raise the taxes on the foreign brands and and all foreign junk shipped in. When you buy your next foreign car ask yourself where you made your money. If a large scale war happened - would we have factories up and running to make the much needed parts to defend and supply our country - think of a car without bearings - our tanks - trucks - tanks

GMAC: Happy to Lend You Some of Your Own Money

so cares about toy-nis-vol-or any of the OUT of US car's - also who owns GMAC - 51% belongs to a private firm - the same firm that owns Chr. Where does the money - made by foriegn companies here in the US go to - now who would guess they send it back to there country. Have all non US companies who want to sell in the US market -- we'll have a hight import tax and the US Gov could really spend. Let's wake up and help ourself's and imployment will be generated and once again have a strong US. - Sorry but how much money went to Banks who cheated their customers on loans. So a zero % helps WHO. As a comedian state on tv - give each AMERICAN family a million and the cost would be much cheaper then 700 billion and if it did not work -- as tax payers - what the he-- we would be happy to try - and then hep the banks and would be able to keep their homes and buy what they wanted. Sounds silly - it seem like most of us just want-and want and ---
