I could not believe that everything I heard the Chevy volt was supposedly a terrific car and was going to take GM well into the electric vehicle error

nowhere special
Not enough profit margin. They want to make all 50K+ cars.
Perhaps he was manufacturing nonsense about Trump and got himself caught up in his own lies.
What about them?
Who's..."us'?
Actually the safety standards for cars are much higher in the U.S. than in Mexico. Mexicans aren't going to pay for the more expensive U.S. built car. They still build Volkswagen Beetle's in Mexico but you can't import them into the U.S. because of the safety regs.

It's the same car dude.
Theyve been selling the Mexican one in the US too.
Just 10 years ago the federal government who at the time was reeling under the weight of the worst recession in 80 years had to hoark up a 51 billion dollar hair ball just to bail out GM. If it were not for the passage of the bailout plan by just a 2 vote Senate majority that's right just 2 votes General Motors wouldn't even be around today . A lot of people who were holding GMAC bonds came away with nothing.
What happened back then? Ugly, obsolete vehicles that used a lot of gas and they are to some extent in the same position again.
Compare the vehicles GM is discontinuing to Ford's lineup of small SUV's.
Yesterday's announcement alone was bad enough but when you combine it with the empty promises offered up by Donald Trump the Babe Ruth of BS it only serves to further elevate the level of public cynicism .

No, they build cars in Mexico for import into the U.S. that meet U.S. standards. They don't build cars in the U.S. below U.S. standards. Cars built in Mexico for the Mexican market do not meet U.S. standards. Thus an American built car costs a lot more in Mexico and has a very limited market.

Man, you are trying so hard to spin this.
The factory they build Cruzes at in Mexico sells those cars in the US. They're shutting down the US factory and keeping the Mexican one open.
You will perform all sorts of mental gymnastics to defend Trump, it's hilarious.

the word is that once manafort told them everything he knew the government reneged on the deal because it wasn't enough.
They were hoping he would embellish on the story

you liberals love to mention the fact that Mueller is a Republican and at the same time you ignore the fact that the 17 investigators working for him were all Democrats many of whom contributed to the Obama and Clinton campaigns

You're not too bright are you. The point would be that one of your previous posters mention the fact that Mueller is a republican as if somehow that as supposed to give us an advantage .while in fact Comey was also supposed to be a republican but you can see that his ego and his arrogance over rode his political affiliation. Not to mention it was later found out that Comey has a house full of liberal wives and daughters that all attended the woman's Rally and clearly influenced him so while he may claim to be a republican he is anything but.

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
I'd blame the unions before i would blame trump. I am not faulting someone who wants a company to build in America

I don't blame Trump when a company fires workers and I don't give him credit when they hire workers.
I'm just pointing out his broken promises. His followers are a little delusional about what he can do.
Fred's Myth
Nonhyphenated American
GM needs to locate its plants on the Mexican border with California so those South/Central American caravans will have a destination, and GM will still have a U.S. presence with a mexican workforce. Then they can drive into California to vote.
Win/win
(OK, who moved the sarcasm font?)
