Ummm... no. Watch it again, and pay attention this time.

IT'S NOT RACISM!! Did you guys pay attention? It's a lot LIKE racism, in that you're blithely picking one product over another because it happened to be made on the "correct" side of the fence. The logic behind this statement is very similar to a statement like "I will only buy goods made by white people". Anyway, the reason as much stuff isn't made in the US anymore is because it can be done much more cheaply abroad, which benefits everyone.

AutoBlog has very high-res pics now.

Why is this a bad thing....?

This is unutterably stupid.

It's absolutely frigid here.

Coulter is a repulsive pig of a person.

Good riddance to the transmission and engine.

That's one big Solstice.

You'd have to go through the portals of the individual automakers, but most if not all require media registration. There are lots of sites that just copy these and put it on their own servers, though.

Yeah, the Lacrosse is pretty irrelevent at this point.

I sat in an Avenger yesterday: what a piece of junk.

Fabulous.

My educated guess: This is really Epsilon II but with rear-wheel-drive AWD. Rear-biased AWD was already planned for the platform, but I suppose they wanted to show it off in this concept in full RWD mode.

Even my 98 Intrigue had an integrated antenna.

Wow, the ancient Accord is still setting the charts on fire. I'm scared to see what kind of damage the new one will inflict...

Buick is getting reamed, but the Enclave will hold them over until the Epsilon2 Lacrosse.

I doubt anyone will notice.

College prices have gone up so much because the value of the degree has gone up so much! The difference between having a bachelor's and a high school diploma is night and day.

If the government wants to protect people from themselves or their ignorance, this is the wrong way to do it. They are punishing the manufacturers for making products people want to buy. I'm not advocating this, but imposing a healthy tax on fuel would be a much better solution than requiring higher mileage. Fuel demand is very inelastic, so the deadweight loss would be minimal compared to other taxes, and it would generate large amounts of revenue for the government. However, this is a long term solution as it would take years for people to buy more fuel efficient cars.

This has been happening for a long time... upstate New York was very wealthy in the first half of the century, but that money has since gone elsewhere.

He's not saying it IS racist, he's saying it's a lot LIKE racism. You are saying a factory in Texas is better than one just south of the border because it was built on American soil, but the same type of reasoning can be used to say that someone is better because they share your race. He's saying they are ignorant in the same way. What happened to the textile industry? Electronics? They went overseas long ago--the country has not descended into chaos, but just the opposite: production moved because costs were lower, meaning more abundant and cheaper goods for all. Think of it another way: what if those industries were magically brought back to the US? Sure, some Americans would be thrilled, because they might get a job there. And a lot of other people might like it as well, because their countrymen are happier. But these feelings would be fleeting, because as soon as they walk into the store they find all their clothes cost twice as much! This is exactly the opposite of the situation we are discussing: forcing people to overpay for goods because they are American benefits some and hurts everyone else, while cheap imports hurt some and make everyone else richer.
