Make shit cars get shit revenue cut jobs. The GM way.
Ffs, and after all the concessions Canada made in NAFTA to prevent this bullshit
Remember that the tariffs are still in effect. You know, the tariffs Trump applied on Canada and Mexico, officially for national security reasons but just as officially to force Canada and Mexico to bend over and let Trump grab them by the concessions in NAFTA 2.0 talks. GM said it would shut operations at plants in Detroit; Oshawa, Ontario; Warren, Ohio; White Marsh, Maryland; and Warren, Michigan. The plants made sedans that have waned in popularity, including the Chevrolet Volt, Impala and Cruze, the Buick LaCrosse, and the Cadillac CT6 and XTS. GM said it will no longer make those cars. ... The transition will come at the expense of about 8,000 salaried workers, and 6,000 hourly workers will either lose their jobs or be reassigned to other plants. The company last month offered voluntary buyouts for 18,000 salaried workers. Look at all these blue-collar factory jobs Trump's creating! The tariffs are working! The Art of the Deal, yeeeaaah boooiiiii #MAGA
they're getting beat at their own game. their trucks aren't what they used to be, the camaro is a joke, the corvette is a has-been, and everything else is unreliable as fuck. the japanese and korean cars make better day-to-day cars flat out, over gm, ford, and especially chrysler.
I hate GM more than the next guy but these aren't true. Both of these cheaply made shitboxes are beating cars that cost way more around the track or are barely slower. The top trim camaro has a faster time around the ring than the Porsche GT3 RS and on other tracks it's just a few seconds slower, the GT3 RS costs way more than the camaro. The camaro also performs better than the mustang, including the gt350 trim. The Corvette ZR1 costs significantly less than the Ford GT and beat it around Willow Springs. The Z06 is also faster than the GTR but that's more the GTRs fault for being a decade old and a nissan. I still wouldn't have any GM shit though.
