  1. Even more proof Miss Mary Barra’s “leadership” is failing…And another reason not to make vehicles in Mexico.

    Ford, Toyota, Mercedes, Chrysler/ Jeep/ RAM, BMW, etc. all making vehicles in the U.S. and INCREASING plant investments and production in the U.S. About time GM got with the program…Or maybe it can pay back the $12 billion or so it got in American taxpayer money to bail it out?

    1. Add GM to the list too as they have plants here and are investing in many even right now.

      The truck plants were upgraded, the Corvette plants is being upgraded. The Cadillac engine plant was moved to Ky. The Cadillacs will be built here as well as several several other new CUV models. Holdens were just added to Springhill.

      You need to be a little more honest in you assessment.

      FYzi GM paid back the money.

      Might as for the Billions Ford got through the department of energy that was and will never be paid back.

  2. One thing is certain, the employees at the plants in Mexico can’t afford the vehicles their assembling.
