Damn.. I wonder how other foreign car companies are doing, American ones are tanking :(

President-elect Barack Obama on Friday indicated that help may be on the way. At a Chicago news conference, he said Congress must pass an economic stimulus measure either before or just after he takes office in January, and he mentioned aid for the auto industry.

No offend, but American can't build car. But obviously this is more of an economic problem.

That's why America buys car shells and designs form other countries. Cause they just put a lot of effort into the engines which make shit for sound, but go fast, and no time or money on a body.

The LS engines from GM have won more awards than any other car company. People are just ignorant when it comes to car, and buy a cheap honda.

Like Fords aren't cheap? There's plenty better cars than Fords. I had a Civic for my first car, It got the job done. You can get a Mustang for $12,000 -.-

What is an award worth anyway...

surely it might say something about value,
but people also think about economizing these days.

SUV's and sports cars might be very valuable,
but they use much more fuel.

Thus people look towards hybrids and thrifty cars

Get a gun and ammo while you can.

Don't want to be left behind once another depression hits. It may not happen, but you never know. Capitalism is shitty that way.

Japan doesn't count. They're obsessed with the things average Americans consider bad/immoral. Like Nazis and Communists and public decency. That sort of stuff.

It'd be nice to watch that trying to get over a speedbump. Shame it looks so plasticy and taccy.. typical american cars, never know what quality is. :P And i thought Bugatti Veyron was faster.. though you are probably right.

European cars are about 50x worse than American cars and 50x more $$ to repair
