Replying to: tlong (Nov 21, 2008 11:01 pm) Real restructuring will be far more massive, impactful, and brutal than the efforts they have made so far. And it needs to happen if GM is to be saved. Completely agree and the shy arrogance that came across from Wagoner proves he is not prepared for huge change. Congress must demand massive change.   With Obama in back of a Prepackaged Bankruptcy, it's seems more possible that needed change will be enough. Just loaning them the money is like giving Mike Tyson another $50M to play with!!   Regards, OW

TBird-SC and the Turbo Coupe from the late 80's.   A few years from 1989 through the 1990s I would rent those T-Birds from Hertz the 3 weeks I was off from my schedule in Alaska. I cruised all over the country in them. The small engine version would get 30 MPG out on the highway. I stopped using Hertz when they quit building that model. Three weeks in an ugly Taurus and I swore off on Ford and Hertz for good. I would rent the recent version of Mustang if they were not so high priced rentals.   Ford built some horrible Thunderbirds from 1958 till about 1989. The new one in the early 21st century is nothing to write home about.   None of which you can blame on the UAW, good or bad.

People find this discussion expecting to read about the UAW. We have 100's of other discussions to discuss Future Vehicles or All Things Porsche or Classic Cars. Replies to this message: dallasdude1 (Nov 22, 2008 8:00 pm)
#5352 of 16738 A different kind of car company by dallasdude1 Nov 22, 2008 (9:09 am)
So does anyone have anything to say about the Saturn project. The Tennessee experiment in which labor(UAW) and management would partner up to beat out the Japanese car companies. They started out with a worthwhile goal, but the end result questions if eastern ideology can ever transition into the western culture. Replies to this message: tlong (Nov 22, 2008 12:51 pm)
