Bloodthirsty Liberal’s Bodacious Bailout of the Auto Industry
We’ve lost track of the brilliant ideas, programs, initiatives we have offered free of charge to the body politic (we’re just getting ready for the coming socialism). Some of them are taken up, others ignored.
This one is too critical to our economic health to pass up.
I heard a report on NPR yesterday about how General Motors is axing several models, including Saturn.
Some, however, are trying to save the brand:
As part of a radical restructuring announced this week, GM said it would stop producing Saturns after 2011. The company is considering spinning off Saturn’s distribution arm. And dealers are trying to find a new manufacturer to build cars under the Saturn name.
…
Demand for cars has plummeted in recent months. That’s a big reason why GM is dropping Saturn in the first place. And corporate financing has dried up.
“I think that there’s a great amount of risk out there for anybody to come into the marketplace at this time, given the state of the economy,” says Bob Maguire, who owns two Saturn stores in New Jersey.
He says Chinese companies and the Indian firm Tata are interested in distributing cars in America. But he thinks they may not be developed enough yet to succeed in the U.S. Still, Maguire holds out hope that some foreign firm will keep the Saturn dealer network going.
See where I’m going?
Oh, come on. Do I have to spell it out for you?
Who wouldn’t want to buy a car marketed as the “Bodacious Tata”? Heck, they’d want to buy two!
Big families and soccer coaches might need the hefty 38 DD model, while DINCs in the city might prefer the trimmer 32 C.
Slogan: “Get your hands on one of these.”
