So it's ok though for GM and the others to import parts
and set-up plants overseas but it's not ok when a working man
wants to cut his losses by buying a foriegn car?

You'll need a better rationale than: Let's give our money
to the big 3 so they'll be happy. They never seemed to care
much about the American Public until they've come around
with their hand out. Let the company and investors declare
chapter 11 and straighten out their house. No one gives a
damn if they lose money (except themselves).

The ironic thing is many of the foriegn owners have never even once in there
life owned an American car, and at least not in the last 10 years. So they
are simply caught up in the hype that japanes are better. Consumer Reports
magazine is even caught up in it, saying the Toyota Matrix was a good car,
then doing a review on the Pontiac Vibe giving it a low review not even
knowing they are the same vehicle coming right off the same assembly line.
They blew there whole credibility on that fiasco.
