Re: The Big Three auto bailout
very nice. Really foreign compay's dont give half a crap about their heritage and their employees. Funny but this will probably end up in the General discussion section too.

Is that really a "Fordsubishi?" I am told at signing the buying agreement, you get a month's supply of toilet paper scented like burning rubber.

I did my part and bought a Fusion this year. At least most of the parts came from North America.

Re: The Big Three auto bailout
Is there a web site that lists where a car model is manufactured and how many parts come from each country?

Re: The Big Three auto bailout
The irony in this, of course, is that to date Ford hasn't accepted any bailout money. GM and Chrysler are both on the edge of collapse, but Ford seems to be in the best shape of the three.
