racer254 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Good job, I have been advocating this for years now. VIN numbers that start with 3 are assembled in Mexico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 31, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted January 31, 2019 They should run a commercial though stating which products are Mexico and from all manufactures.... cause somebody may watch this commercial and forgo a US/Canada assembled Silverado and buy a Mexican made Ram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I thought the trump plan prevented the exploitation of the Mexican workforce by ensuing higher wages? Was that a lie as well? It’s a pity that Canada couldn’t have had their own cars and had to depend on America.

I wish our Gov't had half the balls the U.S. or Trump had. Trump mentioned something about ending subsidies to GM and their stock plummeted. Nothing but crickets from our incompetent leader! https://money.cnn.com/2018/01/11/news/companies/fiat-chrysler-tax-reform-bonus-jobs/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2ebOiHcBhwO4vnoU5YY4l8RyTxnmGA-_EZR0rEOAvd1LXkcfVF1YmxD5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it did, and I think at least 3 times, maybe more, throughout the game. 24 minutes ago, awful knawful said: Isn't FC moving all manufacturing back to USA? It isn't carved in stone yet but that was originally announced that they would be moving at least some back to the Warren plant. The other article said it would give it's 60,000 employees a $2000 dollar bonus. In Canada, GM bones us! https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2018/01/11/fiat-chrysler-moving-some-production-back-mexico/1027093001/ https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/chrysler/2018/01/11/fca-ram-heavy-duty-pickup-production-michigan-mexico/109373632/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of G M wanting to sue, saying it is false. They claim every last dollar was paid back. Had the CEO on last night, claiming they are merely trying to stay profitable.

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted February 5, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 5, 2019 Tier One suppliers are starting to cut more and more heads in the Auto Industry.
