Maybe they should look at CEO salaries for guidance. Do we count the CEOs in Japan and Korea or just the ones here in US for the foreign companies?

Replying to: cooterbfd (Feb 10, 2007 5:35 am) My guess is this would probably be Toyota's options: 1: Stop building new plants here in the USA, and slowly reduce production with what they have here, making just enough to break even with the investment. The market for Toyotas would then be filled with imports from Japan and other countries, thus resulting in the loss of the USA manufacturing jobs. 2: Toyota would refuse the UAW deal, the UAW members would strike, and Toyota would replace them with new workers. I'm sure the Toyota gave a lot of thought to option 2 already, and located plants accordingly. They are in areas without UAW history, and people would be lining up to take the jobs paying the non-union wage.

Guys, Have any of you read anything more about the CTS-V. I've heard next spring as a 2009' model but of course that is a rumor. God, I wish I could get some confirmed info. If it's not going to be out until 2010' I'd just order me a 08' CTS or Sierra Denali. I really like the 08' CTS seeing it again in Motor Trend is enough to make me happy about it.  I guess my problem is if I get the 2008' CTS and the 2009' is so much cooler (hard to believe)  then I will want a CTS-V. I don't want to make a mistake. I know that sounds awful because choosing a 08' CTS is buying smart !!!! The 600 horsepower "V" along with other performance upgrades is likely to be the closest thing I'll ever get to owning a Corvette, anytime soon.  So if you guys/gals know anything about the CTS-V, please post it here. Thanx, Rocky |

Replying to: montzter (Feb 10, 2007 6:02 am) They aren't going to lose out on the oppertunity to make money over feuding with a union. The market for Toyotas would then be filled with imports from Japan and other countries, thus resulting in the loss of the USA manufacturing jobs. That's when the 110th Congress puts such a heavy tariff on their imports that buying a Camy would cost as much as a Lexus LS 460 Laugh, but if toyota tried to do this with a watchful media they would get painted very badly. 2: Toyota would refuse the UAW deal, the UAW members would strike, and Toyota would replace them with new workers. I guess you've never seen a picket-line crossed in the South ???? Well in Kentucky, those folks take the body's into the mountains to be never found again. Some picketer's the lumber if you know what I mean. Batter-up ! I'm sure the Toyota gave a lot of thought to option 2 already, and located plants accordingly. They are in areas without UAW history, and people would be lining up to take the jobs paying the non-union wage. Well some of those people gave up good careers to go work in those Toyota factory's and if the Toyota greedy are willing to destroy the workers lives of those company's finacially then Toyota, has to reexamine its self.  They can afford to pay and should do the right thing. Rocky |
