First off, I’m a salary, Non-Union guy.
I work with the Union on a daily basis and as some of you know the Union and salary people usually don’t have the same views.
However, I support my company and the product we put out. Yes, there’s some big changes coming in the auto indusrty. You haven’t seen anything yet. As bad as our economy in Michigan is now, there’s more to come. “Trailertrash” you should know living here that you should support your local economy.
Too bad you don’t get it. As far as the other states, I agree there are jobs created from Toyota, but the profits are going back to the homeland, not the U.S. When I was out in California I couldn’t believe the amount of imports.
But, try and sell an American car over seas and we get boned, compared to the breaks the foreign automakers get here in the U.S. We make some great vehicles.
I believe in buying the best product, but you folks need to do more research in vehicles and not buy a Toyota just because your neighbor had a bad experience with a Gm or because Ronnie Coleman drives a Tundra…
Got it?

Have you ever been union?
Trailertrash… haha… okay… you’re good at the name callin aren’t ya.
I know what you’re saying about supporting my local economy but I have issues with giving my money to a company who is taking jobs from my area and our country.
I’d rather give it to a company who continues to bring jobs here. But hey, thats just me. On top of all that , when I’m gonna spend 35-50k on a new truck, im not going to settle for sub par quality and from PERSONAL experience that is what I have found with the GM vehicles I have owned in the past.
When GM decides to bring some jobs back here to the Flint area or our country for that matter and starts making a little better vehicle I will be more than happy to buy their product.
On my last vehicle purchase I tried to buy the Denali, I actually wanted to but as I drove it more and looked at how some of the interior was put together I finally came back to my senses, then I got out and saw how the cover over the hitch wouldn’t even stay in place and the body line gaps weren’t consistent I decided the Lexus was a better way to go.
