I've never been loyal to any brand but based on my experiences with theses 3 vehicles I was leaning toward sticking with Ford, but the bailout nonsense sealed the deal.

Barry and his boys don't say a lot about those poor people!! The UAW got the Mine and the stock holders got the SHAFT! Another free ride supplied by us, the tax payers! And you guys are right on about FORD, I bought there stock @ 1.50 when they were in the same boat as GM and Mopar, I took a shot and had faith in the Ford family to do the right thing, and they did. On the other hand the Fed's told them they better take the money or risk goin under and FORD told them to stick it where the sun don't shine!BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28959-we-should-be-seeing-lots-of-detroits-today/#findComment-152943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Bottom line is the bail outs were payback to the UAW and a few other select people for "support in the election" The GM bail out saved the UAW and the retired UAW members medical benefits. So here is a question... when the union owns controlling interest in a company and its members negotiate their new contracts....do they always get what they want?
