Toyota: 'We wanted to buy out the statehouse too & eminent domain of all Michigan & turn it into a giant tribute to PRIUS ... but we're not at that stage quite yet'

Sadly, this is what michigan needs. It will help produce more white-collar jobs, which is exactly what mole needs to work on more than blue-collar jobs.

You know, your disrespect for the U.A.W. and its role as the foundation of America's MIDDLE CLASS peeves me off to no end! http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/mad.gif http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Stop hating on U.A.W., it's the guys who run GM that are the problem. They still think it's the 60's

Does it feel like Toyota is playing Monopoly and is trying to buy Park Place and Boardwalk?
I hope they get it...F' the domestics...

Personally, while they do need to somehow find some designers and engineers to work on US/Canada specific models, I'm not sure that locating in California or Detroit is the best thing. Yes yes I know it's for marketing and economic (labor pooling theory) reasons, but still ... yuck.

Is it the corporate officers who go on strike every year to two years?
The UAW can kiss my fat white butt.

The unions had their time and place. They were essential in protecting the workers...too bad they are an archaic, ineffective, and harmful organization that destroys any chance that the big 3 have of overtaking the imports. Toyota will overtake GM by 2010.

Can't wait to see the chain of events that will follow that.
First they'll get pissed and expect GM to magically produce money and pull itself out of debt. Heck, if they can miraculously come up with more cash to throw at the greedy, selfish union workers, then they can obviously loan some to themselves.
Second will be them crawling on hand and knee over to toyota begging for their jobs back. Toyota will only give in if they take enormous pay cuts, if they do at all. They's just as soon intall gundam's to do all the work.
Bah, its late and I'm tired.
Cliff's: I hate GM and the UAW is stupid.

Well okay then. You're on the record. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Coming back into town on I-275, I realized I needed to "Switch to LaRiche - Lou LaRiche Chevrolet" [Plymouth] ... not. I saw enough ghetto Corsicas in Akron to make Flint look upscale. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Ann Arbor area will of course be happy about this, at least all of those who have been taken over & taken control of & OWNED. The Ann Arbor New Left says... UAW, screw j00, we want TOYOTA. We GOT THE FEELING of economic growth and/or the expectations thereof. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/wink.gif
