Wrong! GM hasn't shut down anything yet, but will have to shut down in Shreveport, La next week.

it was a racist statement. There is no nation of asia, therefore cant be a NATIONality. When someone is part of the majority, its easy to talk down or not consider what the minority might think.

I just find the majority of cars produced in asia share the same unappealing traits. There are some exceptions though.

I wasn't expecting anything positive from anyone on this forum about this post. As I said before, this is my 3rd camaro and have no issues with it. What is so wrong about having the best of both worlds?
Ask that again when gas is almost $5.00
You will probably have the last laugh...while driving pass the gas station

Gas is close to $6 a gallon here and our currency is even higher than yours right now.

But realize that we have parts on our cars made in the Far East... for instance our stock OEM wheels are made in China.

The pogo-stick comment was even more funny though because many people feel that same way, but don't admit it.
