Chrysler Executive Uses the , page 1

"We're on the brink with the U.S. auto manufacturing industry," Press told The Associated Press in an interview. "If we have a catastrophic failure of one of these car companies, in this tender environment for the economy, it's a huge blow. It could trigger a depression."

(Associated Press) Chrysler executive warns of depression if a large US automaker fails.

Grain of salt, of course. They are asking for US taxpayer money, after all. Still, it's interesting to hear the meme creeping into the media that this is a recession teetering on the brink of a depression. I think that's a considerable divergence from the more vague "Is this like 1929?!?" hype and actually a bit more concerning. Who thinks the failure of a large US automaker could be the critical mass in this scenario?

I had a title mishap. It was originally supposed to be "Chrysler Executive Uses the D Word" or some variant thereof. I had quotation marks originally, which I think started a cycle of vicious evil that ultimately rendered the title of the thread more than a bit vague. Sorry about that. I tried to modify the post to segue a little bit more clearly...

Well then it should be the "Dunce" word, for they failed to not choke down the oil industry/making masters happy.

Remember this ride?




It inspired the Mustang/Pinto.



Prudence has never been their best quality. Let them fail.

Another pure breed American beauty.

If the automakers really want us to buy their vehicles, they would stop making them like they do and go back to real steel body components, real raw horsepower and REAL style!!!


Cheers!!!!
