So what's your problem with Korean cars? The Koreans are making some really great cars, and their quality is heads and tails above anything Ford or GM is making!! My next car will definitely be Asian. The American auto industry is almost dead, and when the Chinese decide to import their cars here, they will surely finish Ford and GM off. I've already heard rumors that Toyota plans to take over Ford and Honda plans to take over GM.
That is the most retarded thing I've ever read. I am sorry for you and your loved ones for having to live with your ignorance and stupidity.
Honda wouldn't even have enough money to buy a bankrupt GM let alone the fact that GM isn't bankrupt. I'm not even going to touch the 'Toyota plans to take over Ford' comment as it's just absurd.
You're probably one of those guys that believes the post in my signature and you'd be just as wrong and misinformed as the original poster of that comment.
As an effort to think about the possibility of either company going bankrupt and sold, there is no doubt that the US government would step in and stop any sale to a foreign company. The US economy is tied too closely to the auto industry (specifically the big 2.5) that a take over would never be allowed.
And don't even start spouting off about DaimlerChrysler as that was a merger and not a takeover.
Did you ever read the article about the crash test of one of China's main auto manufacturer's cars? They've got a LONG way to go, especially with the way society looks at safety nowadays. It took the Koreans something like 15 years just to start to become a player in the auto game.
