Now That GM Has The Tax Dollars, What's The Next Move? Can You Say Ship More Jobs Overseas?

"Fox News" is an oxymoron. It is lo-brow "conservative" entertainment at best. It is absolutely riddled with inaccuracies and lies day in and day out. But it's your website, so put up garbage from what ever source you want.

Your intellect is riddled with inaccuracies because the only thing you see through your glasses, is what you WANT to see.

Does the article say FOX news is the SOURCE of the news story?

NO.

It says The Washington Post the source of this news and they are just reporting it.

And your GOD, CNN and MSNBC are ALSO reporting this.

And GOD forbid, they have NEVER been innacurate or made a mistake, LOL!

Why don't you learn how to read before you open your trap?

001

p.s. and my guess is that you haven't watched the Fox News network closely. My bet is your impression of inaccuracy is because you read websites that took something they said out of context but you didn't actually see it yourself. We watch ALL the networks and make our own decisions.

001 has been brainwashed by "fair and balanced" ;)

Wow... this story really seemed to stem from the center and let us form our own opinions about whats goin on. No agenda what-so-ever. Is this a political blog or a car blog? Now I remember why I stopped coming to this website...

Farm it out to overseas , , they have the same regulations, bull$hit ! , according to who ? This site is getting just like local newspapers . When the report on just about anything , they start out by saying , "according to experts " Remember when honest journalisim used to give the source where they got their info from and built on it ? . Now they look and see what direction the leaves are blowing and make conjectures or a personal opinion .

Strangely , Germany/France Europe in general manages to do very well by building its own small fuel efficient next gen technology cars.
Last i heard IG Metall/EU unions have a much higher pay rate than UAW.
More importantly , fuel efficient, high tech cars dont necessary mean cheap cars !!!!!
But hey paying attention to FOX news is the same as becoming best friends with Cheney.
You only get a shotgun blast to the face for your efforts :)

The problem with this "quiz" is that there is little facts behind it. It's designed to come up with a specific answer. What kind of cars will GM continue to build? Not cars that Obama says but cars that people buy.

The best selling cars are midsize, then followed by "compact" then followed by "sub compact"

Look up the sales for Toyota/Honda: It always goes like this: Camry/Accord then Corolla/Civic and only then do you get the Yaris/Fit.

For Chevrolet it will look like this: Malibu, Cruze, and then significantly less cars such as the Aveo/Aveo replacement.

Currently Chevy builds the Malibu in Michigan and Kansas, the Cruze will be made in Ohio. Yes, GM will likely sell subcompacts that are not built in the US because they will probably be rebadged Dawewoos.

But the sales volume of Malibu/Cruze greatly trumps the amount of Aveos.

GM needs to work on it's new anti-back-fire technology. Start building trucks based on the cobalt and include a prozac air freshener and some of those VR goggles. Make us Believers again General-any way possible. The malibu is too late. the volt is a pipe dream. cheat a little.

Probably. The Customer Service Reps. will have a Heavy "India" accent...slurpee with that?

001 is correct. The ONLY way to cut significant costs is to reduce labor and the only way to significantly reduce labor is to send jobs (and not just manufacturing jobs) overseas.

For example, the new Camaro was mostly designed by Holden in Australia. And guess what? The typical engineer makes about 25-30% less in Australia than in the US according to WorldSalaries.org.

I won't go through the list country by country but let it suffice to say that the US has the highest salaries in the world so going anywhere else (even Canada) will result in huge savings.

Welcome to the WalMart economy where the lowest price source gets the business. The low lying fruit has already been picked (manufacturing and service). Next in line are engineering, finance, project management, parts procurement, QA, testing, and other high-paying white collar jobs.

And for anyone who says that other countries can't do it as well, I return to the example of the Camaro as proof that they can.
