When will Ford go bankrupt?

Quote from Comptalk:

Yea, I know. I cannot believe they are allowing this. The Chineese cars are very small, but very affordable. However, can the averaged size American fit in one? I'm five 10 1/2 @ 216 LBS. I do not know if I would be very comfortable.

Yao Ming is 7' 6" and 310lbs. The world's tallest living man is Bao Xishun, at 7' 8.95". China's such a big country that it has a large number of all body types.

Since Toyota had started building vehicles in USA the numbers of recalls increased dramatically. Many people/mechanics are saying that Toyotas and Hondas are not what they used to be in the 80s and 90s.

The same thing happened when Mercedes Benz (prior to the Daimler-Chrysler merger) started making their ML-series SUVs in Alabama. The first year of the Alabama plant's production saw the ML's with tons of defects like doors that wouldn't shut completely and an unusually-high number of vehicle rollovers.

An article in BusinessWeek about post-merger Mercedes cars showed a photo of an American-made Mercedes sedan whose engine had blown up and caught fire somewhere in Japan.

Buy BMW or Porche. The only cars worth buying these days. Mercedes is nothing more than glorified Chryslers. The brand has gone downhill since the merger, even the new styling cues suck.

They suck, too, unfortunately.

BMW has had a ton of problems with their new 5 and 7 series vehicles, as well as their X5.

Honda makes the most reliable cars bar none. The key is the motor. It's hard to kill a Honda.
 
Yeah, chinese people aren't exactly short. Perhaps the southern chinese (cantonese) that you see in America but yeah, the more north you go the taller they get. Not many northeners in America though.

Wait a minute.

Are all you guys attempting to suggest, in your roundabout way, that due to the globalisation of the automobile industry, that their ARENT any good cars anymore?
 
Nevertheless, in the end, he kept it, even though GT is probably 2 times the price of it here in USA. :D :D :D
This story reminds me of one of my ex ex ex ... girlfriends.:D :p :mad:
