mighty GM

For the once mighty GM corporation,today is the day the award winning small truck plant in Oshawa is closing down...apparently for good....gloom and doom all around. I live here and the change in the GM structure is taking it's toll on the town and the region.

They( the Motors)... are now frantically building the new Camaro here, about the only thing left out here to assemble...the new model Camaro, but to introduce a new muscle car at a time when gasoline is 96 cents a liter may not be the thing needed at this time to pull GM out of the dumps.

They say Saturn and Pontiac brands will disappear. At the same time it was announced today in the States that about 900 Chrysler dealers are about to shut down and the company will indeed declare chapter 11... Fiat takeover or not.

I have no idea where all this is going...obviously gross mismanagement of resources is one reason. It is easy enough to blame the Unions for their excessive and costly demands but I think most of that is just nonsense. Management is as much or more to blame for the ridiculous state GM and the industry as such is in today.

There will be cars built in North America, it's ironic that the two former enemies of the USA, Japan and Germany may end up supplying most of the future cars running in this region of the world built in USA or Canada.

One of the greatest creations of man, the "Automotive Car" or popularly known as the "Car" is a result of man's consistent efforts and perseverance. Over the years, the automobile industry has evolved as one of the main revenue generators, provider of employment and has progressed a lot.
Though the credit for the modern day automobile goes to Karl Friedrich Benz (from Germany), the first theoretical plans for a motor vehicle were conceptualized by both Isaac Newton and Leonardo da Vinci.
