Why can't we buuild the cars here and ship them over there???? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5156346/ Because they can't pay people 50 cents an hour over here. Not to mention, even if they DID decide to build them here, China's restrictions on imports would put such large tariffs on the vehicles that GM wouldn't actually be able to sell any over there. What a great " fair trade " concept. But yet, our " leaders " will do NOTHING about it. There is no such thing a fair trade practices.

Now if GM would bring back the Delorean, that would be something. Actually a company in TX I believe bought the bankrupt assets of that car co. You can still buy them 'new' sort of.

Right now, the Hummer is the only thing on the road capable of stopping a Toyota.
