    BTW the stag’s engine might’ve been hoplesless but what a sound it makes, it’s GOOD.
    I don’t think Maggie’s plan was all that right, yes sell some of the industry but not it all ,clean it up abit and youd’ve been fine, new management and a clearer more focused product line, british designers had great designs on the table for things like the allegro etc but were never allowed to follow thier vision because of corporate policies thats what fucked the industry up aswell.
    Cheers

    things are simple: when you produce something to compete on a self-sufficient market, you’re gonna die in a slow but sure economic agony.

    ok that won’t happen to the American auto industry, well maybe GM, but Ford is proving to be a very smart company that is making many good choices and Chrysler is same under the arm of Fiat

    Miss Thather was to blame because she sold everything, if the government cleaned up their act with the worker’s unions, and started making good cars. As a unionized employee, the unions were not to blame that “weak & stupid management, who knew they would be bailed out by an equally weak & stupid government….” sums it all up, and that’s why GM will fail.

    Cars with internal combustion are past, future is in electric cars and public transport. Time of cheap gas and mobility with your own car will be past in next decades.

    Killed by GREED,GREED and MORE GREED on the part of the government and the employers.The government taxed to death and assisted no one,the employers wanted to pay the lowest wages for the most work humanly possible and invest no money in their businesses.The new generation of boardsmen wanted to get rich quick and retire early,sod the company and the employees.Many firms were bought for peanuts on the understanding they would be invested in,instead they were stripped and closed.All too common.

    The first generation cruze was korean and the current worldwide second generation is not. The current Cruze is on the Delta platform, developed by Opel.

    @seymorass93 you’re right and don’t forget that the Cruze is korean, the Astra and the Insignia(Regal) is german, some Cadillacs and Chryslers are based on Mercedes cars as well…so i give 20 years for the americans…maximum

    @seroyer2 GM is getting closer, the Cruze and Astra are one in the same, the Insignia, Regal, and 2013 Malibu are the same cars. I hope they globalize Holden’s Commodore, that car would make a great Impala! :) Ford started restructuring after taking massive bank loans in 2006. GM was so mismanaged that it needed Gov’t intervention. Now the Feds ownership is dropping with their stakes being sold through stock.

    Of course, 2 years ago I wouldn’t be able to say any of this, I could only speculate.

    @seymorass93 I wrote that comment 2 years ago, when it look as if the America auto industry was about ready to go the way of the dodo, Ford has recover fantastically, GM will continue to struggle as long as they are a American managed company. Ford has realized that they need to sell the same product every where in the world, GM has not done that, they need to have Opel, and Holden design all of there cars, and the American branches can build all of the trucks.
