The Big 3

justmeron · 03-26-2009, 06:39 PM

Found this interesting.

GM, Ford, & Chrysler

INTERESTING...maybe the country should consider bailing them out to some degree

Nothing needs to be said... Ford, Chrysler and GM's contributions after 9/11

An interesting commentary...You might find this of interest:

CNN Headline News did a short news listing regarding Ford and GM's
contributions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and Washington .

The findings are as follows.....

1. Ford - $10 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions
of the same number plus 10 Excursions to NY Fire Dept. The company also
offered ER response team services and office space to displaced government employees.

2. GM - $10 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions
of the same number and a fleet of Vans, SUV's, and Trucks.

3. Daimler Chrysler - $10 million to support of the children and victims
of the Sept. 11 attack.

4. Harley Davidson motorcycles - $1 million and 30 new
motorcycles to the New York Police Dept.

5. Volkswagen - Employees and management created a Sept 11 Foundation,
funded initial with $2 million, for the assistance of the children and victims of the WTC..

6. Hyundai - $300,000 to the American Red Cross.

7. Audi - see VW

8. BMW - Nothing.

9. Daewoo - Nothing.

10. Fiat - Nothing.

11. Honda - Nothing despite boasting of second best sales month ever in August 2001

12. Isuzu - Nothing.

13.. Mitsubishi - Nothing.

14. Nissan - Nothing.

15. Porsche - Nothing. Press release with condolences via the Porsche website.

16. Subaru - Nothing.

17. Suzuki - Nothing.

18. Toyota - Nothing despite claims of high sales in July and August 2001.
Condolences posted on the website .

Whenever the time may be for you to purchase a new vehicle, keep this information in mind. You might want to give more consideration to a car manufactured by an American-owned and / or American based company. Apart from Hyundai and Volkswagen, the foreign car companies contributed nothing at all to the citizens of the United States ...... It's OK for these companies to take money out of this country, but it is apparently not acceptable to return some in a time of crisis. I believe we should not forget things like this. Say thank you in a way that gets their attention..

And when the rice burners claim to be American cars because they have a factory here I will remember this information. Good Job...Buy a real American car!

Yeah but people still won't understand. That money should have been spent to put better materials in the interior of the big 3's cars and not to help our own I guess. seeing as that is such a big concern to everyone out there.

Great post! Different seeing this kinda of news about the big 3.

Made me feel all that much better for my decision for my next purchase! I will never buy foreign again. All these problems with the economy and such, I have realized just how important things like this are. I am glad that I have too, because I think we are going to see the best cars made right here in America again. Again great post and thanks.

They dont offer to give us money because they know they are going to need it to mod up thier cars. If they want to even think about seeing our tail lights. =]

Do you have any sort of link?
Just curious as to the dating of those findings...there's opposing views to a very similar article out there somewhere...
