Look. I drove a new Corvette, and it had a ton of rattles. It also had a vibration that felt like the driveshaft was hitting the trans tunnel.

A lot of relevance in my comparison. Why does a $17k Gplf/Rabbit have a better interior than a so called "Halo Vehicle" costing $50k?

And Nick. You can win this one by saying one thing. Either we loan them the money up front, or we pay via increased hits to social services(Welfare, Medicare, etc.). I would not be able to successfully defend my resistance to those circumstances.

But in the end, it all sucks. And where will these "bailouts" stop. Seems like every self made "Capitalist" is now crying for government money. But then, weren't those the same people who purported their interest in smaller government? At the least, a bunch of these executives need to be punished severely for being asleep at the wheel.

That's a guy Chris that should be put away for life! I think what the original poster was suggesting was to find a way to be a little more creative with getting automotive industry back on it's feet and in a way that could help stimulate the economy. Your right it really all does suck and it is amazing to me that the same people who wanted less regulation and used it for their own greed now are asking the government for bailouts. Right now we have to do what ever it takes to keep this economy from slipping into a depression but that doesn't mean not holding people who created some of it responsible. Yea Chris, heads should roll! Maybe this spring I'll test ride a Corvette myself and hopfully I'll get salesman who won't puke as I try to show him what I think a Vette can do.
