Ford is or has moved all small car manufacturing to mexico.

Their cars are already very cheaply made. A friend bought a NEW Focus it is such a poorly made car with no engine cover.

NAFTA will let them bring the cars here no taxes. VOTE TRUMP!

He might not be able to bring any of it back, but there may be ways to incent companies to stay or at least stop the hemoraging of jobs into other countries. At least the C7 is assembled in the U.S. and GM has brought Camaro production back to the U.S. We're not going to stop globalization, but it doesn't have to come at 100% expense of U.S. jobs.

Capital is mobile...it's all a matter of costs. Margins on small vehicles are likely not large, compared to p/u trucks & SUVs.
Build more of the latter here instead. FCA says they will be doing the same thing, b-t-w

Another perfect post.

- Completely off topic - about Ford
- Politics
- Horrible writing skills

Great job.

Great job.

I left an "a" out so the head forum troll with no life and no Corvette can get a little troll action. The head forum troll chimes in to prove he can actually read! I also bought more stuff from venders something you don't do!

Also all cars sales are slowing not just Corvettes!

Don't hate the players, hate the busted game. He is good at the game, but wants to change the game to benefit the country. That won't happen overnight, as you can imagine. Most of us agree that it is busted, however.

But folks are happy to buy foreign owned cars, no matter where they are made and send the profits off shore?

Ya know we beat this subject so many times.........
