"I do take issue with the fact that they'll sell the cars to Americans as "American" when 90% of it isn't American at all."

You better lobby for the parts content stickers of all GM vehicles to read 10% or less then. Since you know all this.

It is a global world and GM is one of the last to really start using its global facilities. Like I stated, for several decades they owned Opel and didn't use them as much as they used American designs and Americans kept spitting in their faces.

Good to see that Toyota still declaring their headquarters in Japan as far as I know and Honda are just as American as GM which helped keep this country rolling for 100+ years. Yes, all those full size pickups that kept America building and expanding that came from Japan over the last 100 years sure were helpful.

What would we have done without Honda? But now that our Honda and Toyota saviors are here we surely couldn't go into a recession or depression with all the jobs they brought here. No, their 70K U.S. jobs total is sure better than GM's 600K total U.S. only employees that have been eroded.

But next time you get into your Acura think what you could have done to build an American car that everyone like you would love to drive and build more American than GM. An the billions you would have like Toyota has off of the U.S. market alone; otherwise, you are a failure. You failed. You lost an opportunity so prove and do it and get rich.
