Here's a better question. If manufacturing workers are devalued to the point where they can't afford their mortgages (see current housing crisis) or even those shiny kmart-quality cars GM pushes out, who will be left to buy their product? Showrooms will become musems at the rate things are going. But hey, GM will have a niiiice profit margin...if anybody were left to buy their cars.]]>May 21st 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/
I'd love to see a complete phase-out of unskilled labor--just replace them with machines. It'll create skilled jobs for the engineers needed to create them.]]>May 21st 2008 10:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 7:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 7:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 7:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 7:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 22nd 2008 8:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/
Trucks are very useful, it how America gets her work done. I don't own a truck, never did. I may buy an old junker for hauling stuff around, hate hauling lumber and other hardware in a luxury sedan.]]>May 22nd 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 22nd 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 7:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 9:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/
Shut your mouths, boys.]]>May 21st 2008 10:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 10:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/
I don't think GM minds the shut down of the truck lines, but pinching off the flow of Malibus and Lambdas are hurting their bottom line.]]>May 22nd 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/Thanks that definitely makes sense, and thanks for the clarification I was looking for. The Mexican plant was closed due to the strike in an indirect manner; not because that plant is actually UAW run.]]>May 22nd 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/If any of those 285,000 units are for V8 trucks and SUV except for Hybrids then who the F--k really cares! In what fantasy world would GM be selling these to? These stats are mostly nonsense without more valid specifics.]]>May 21st 2008 7:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/May 21st 2008 10:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/21/gm-lost-285-000-units-to-american-axle-strike/
