INTERSTING....MAYBE THE COUNTRY SHOULD CONSIDER BAILING THEM OUT TO SOME DEGREE
NOTHING NEEDS TO BE SAID.... FORD, CHRSLER AND GM'S CONTRIBUTIONS AFTER 9/11
AN INTERESTING COMMENTARY... YOU MIGHT FIND THIS ONE OF INTERST:
'CNN HEADLINE NEWS DID A SHORT NEWS LISTING REGARDING FORD AND GM'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RELIEF AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON
THE FINDINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS
1 FORD-$ 10 MILLION TO AMERICAN RED CROSS MATCHING EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SAME NUMBER PLUS 10 EXCURSIONS TO NY FIRE DEPT THE COMPANY ALSO OFFERED ER RESPONSE! TEAM SERVICES AND OFFICE SPACE TO DISPLACED GOVERMENT EMPLOYEES

5 VOLKSWAGEN- EMPLOYEES AND MANAGEMENT CREATED A SEPT 11 FOUNDATION, FUNDED INITIAL WITH $2 MILLION, FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF THE CHILDREN AND VICTIMS OF THE WTC

7 AUDI- SEE V W
8 BMW- NOTHING

10 FIAT- NOTHING
11 HONDA- NOTHING DESPITE BOASTING OF SECOND BEST SALES MONTH EVER IN AUGUST 2001
12 ISUZA- NOTHING

15 PORSCHE- NOTHING BUT PRESS RELEASE WITH CONDOLENCES VIA THE PORSCHE WEBSITE
16 SUBARU- NOTHING
17 SUZUKI- NOTHING
18 TOYOTA- NOTHING DESPITE CLAIMS OF HIGH SALES IN JULY AND AUGUST 2001
CONDOLENCES POSTED ON THE WEBSITE
WHEN EVER THE TIME MAY BE FOR YOU TO PURCHASE OR LEASE A NEW VECHILE, KEEP THIS IN MIND. YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE MORE CONSIDERATION TO A CAR MANUFACTURED BY AN AMERICAN-OWNED AND OR AMERICAN BASED
COMPANY. APART FROM HYUNDAI AND VOLKSWAGEN, THE FOREIGN CAR COMPANIES CONTRIBUTED NOTHING AT ALL TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES....IT'S OK FOR THESE COMPANIES TO TAKE MONEY OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, BUT IT IS APPARENTLY NOT ACCEPTABLE TO RETURN SOME IN A TIME OF A CRISIS. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THIGNS LIKE THIS........
