/* I am driving a brand new Dodge Caliber loaner car right now and let me tell you, it is a whiney, underpowered, cheaply built piece of crapola. If this is what passes for a new domestic these days, please, take them out of their misery. */

And I''ve spent the last week with a rented Sebring (company''s choice, not mine) that''s full of plastic, has trouble going uphill in a headwind, and has only slightly better visibility than an Abrams tank. Chrysler wants a bailout so they can keep making this cr@p?

On another trip I had a different make rental car that could wind up to 85 mph without problems and got about 45 mpg - and it was F-f-f-f (choke, gasp, hack) French!!! So I don''t wanna hear that American manufacturers are so fantastic when they can get beat by a bunch of "grenouilles" (look it up).

Capitalism = build a good product and succeed, build a crummy product and fail. Socialism = be inefficient but stay afloat with government subsidies and bailouts. Doesn''t look to me like the Little 3 are in favor of a free market anymore, does it?

Why don''''t all the US autoworkers quit and go on welfare?

If you really believe that the hundreds of thousands who work directly and indirectly for the auto industry being laid off will be good for YOUR finances then please keep posting. I''ll want to see your feelings after a couple years of depression. We''re all in this together and if you wish for the US auto makers to fail you will also. BTW what business are you in? I want to make sure that I boycott YOUR industry!!

I say the gov. tell them to produce a mid size sedan that gets 100 miles to the gallon ....

More proof that American''s have no concept of science. The only vehicle that can get 100 mpg is an underpowered motorcycle. A gallon of gas DOES NOT contain enough energy to take anything over 600 lbs (probably lower weight)that far. Forget your conspiracy theories of 100 mpg carburetors too.

Anerican auto makers were arrogant and stupid. Too bad congress is also.

Me too! I want my own bail out! Thanks to the trickle down economics of the conservatives, I need it! Maybe with Mr. Obama, people can work, pay their way, and see a government that doesn''t ignore them. Until then, hey!, hey up there!, I want a bail out!

what you people have to understand is auto workers are also taxpayers and Americans. Everyone has there own thoughts on what automobile to buy. But I have put 200 to 300 thousand miles on many America cars.Oh and by the way I voted for that one!
