misfish Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I cant make heads or tails of it. They get it,the funds,but no real plan. From what I can read from it,the American plants now hold the cards. The Candian based plants get 10 or 15 % of the payout from the American buy out. Im very confussed . Will the GM and Crysler plants be history in Canada? Ford seems to be holding thier own. Im thinking this is a move to bust the union. Again, dont make this a union bash.Im way past this now. You have made yer beds and now you/we ALL have to work it out. Were just waiting to get the word to start stamping out the parts for the 2010 models as we have 20 new dies to get vamped up. So,what do you all think? May you all work to provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimace Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) AMC also made the Concord and the Hornet. Tanks. They were bullet proof Edited February 17, 2009 by Grimace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 You could be right GCD. I hope not though. Amc had a couple of neat cars. They had a hotrod in the late 60's. Was a nice looking car too. An AMX if I recall. And the Eagle was an interesting concept but it was poorly made. All wheel drive made it a good winter car.

misfish Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Now that I think of it,didnt they make the Javlen? That was a very cool car too. Bring back AMC. HAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 PACER VS Gremlin. The same car,but one was so much uglier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) PACER VS Gremlin. The same car,but one was so much uglier Oh yeah! The AMX was a souped up version of the Javelin! You can see a Matador that converts into and airplane and a Hornet that jumps a river with a full twist here! As some of you may know, AMC was a pretty good sized car company at one time... they were the ones that bought Rambler when they went out. ... but they didn't last forever.

Cudz Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 AMC had some good cars SC/Rambler little car with a big engine Rebel Javelin Amx and not mention Jeeps Cherokee and wagoneers were some of the pioneers in the SUV field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Bad Brian. Our country was built on hard working efficent companys. Swim or sink. Why support a company that isn't making the grade? Like Glen said earlier. Where are theose companys from the past? No one bailed them out. Our countrys remained viable and strong afterwards. Supporting failure only leads to more failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think Ford is on the right track by not begging for cash. It makes them look more viable to potential new car buyers. Who wants a car from a company that may pull out of Canada or even be bankrupt in under 6 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktail Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Jedi I think you have a good point and that will be in the minds of people when they buy. My question is what are they going to do with all that unsold stock? I heard they have rented out Canada's Wonderland parking lot to store unsold cars? Not good for anyone.

Did I mention ,when we bought our new Focus,the Ford dealership had made 16 sales by 2 pm????????? Im not going to do the PRO Ford thing,but they seem to do it right,for some reason. Not sure,was there a guy named GMC?????????? Edited February 18, 2009 by misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 If they are looking for a place to park one of those F250 4x4's there is a real nice parking spot in my driveway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
