Bye Bye Big Three?

You need to pull your head out of your ***. If the american auto industry goes down, there won't be a ripple effect, it'll be a tsunami. How can you compare car designs. Every freakin car has looked the same as each other for 20 years. the fords look like the toyotas which look like the Gm's, etc. Its elitist jerks like yourself that bad mouth American made stuff. sure, 30 years ago the big 3 allowed their stuff to really slide. That was then this is now. Go ahead, beg for the government to let them fail, then watch the US fall into an ice age that'll take 20 years to get out of. Sell your Mopar to a real car guy, Man up . Go take your sissy Bimmer for a ride.

Wow, that wasn't what I was expecrting, guess I should have known better. I was lamenting the fact that car design, mainly American car design has little to offer in terms of excitement these days. I'm just thinking that's why the industry is taking such a beating.

So how Don, does that make me an elitist jerk? Why makes anything about what I said sound elitist? Which cars form the last 30 years are so freaking fond of? What would you buy right now besides a truck? By you saying that every car for the last 20 years looks the same are you not AGREEING WITH ME? Car design on the whole sucks no matter what brand it is. It's depressing actually.

Traditionally, Americans have been seen as ingenious and innovative but right now, we're lagging behind and the failure of the industry proves that. I'm not begging for the government to let them fail, I'm just saying that an industry that gets money from the government needs to do better things. Of course the effect on the economy will be huge.

Just so you know, I only own American cars. I would NOT buy a foreign car. My wish is for American cars to be perceived as being better.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Jeez.
