I just heard that a Chinese car is being planned for sale in the US. I hope! Unlike the "In Name Only" American car makers, Asian car makers are opening plants in the US. Maybe we can get a few more manufacturing jobs here. Just hope no "In Name Only" American Car companies buy them out, since they might just move them down to Mexico. tom @ www.Consolidated-Loans.info |
