GM PLANS TO BUILD CARS IN CHINA & EXPORT TO U.S.
 

GM is negotiating with the government to shift more of it's production to China.A spokesman for GM in Shanghai said it was only a matter of time before vehicles made in China are imported into the company's home market.GM will start shipping cars from China in 2011.The extra cars GM plans to import will be equal to the output of four U.S. assembly plants--the same number that will close in the U.S.I guess it won't be long before cars are imported from China up north here also.It's enough to make you want to puke! There's a picture in the article of a back end of a Chev and the badging reads''SHANGHAI GM''.Bill.https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

I agree 100%; if GM thinks they are in trouble now just wait until they start this crap.

I've been a 100% GM supporter all my life. Might just be five vehicles for sale before long. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

From the Glenn Beck show last night
"BECK: OK. Are you — are you going to be importing cars from China now? I read that in the paper today.

HENDERSON: Yes. We don't import cars from China today. We have a very big business in China, but our business in China is focused on the China market. As, you know, we build where we sell, that's been part of our philosophy.

When you look at our business plan out through 2013 and 2014, there is an opportunity to do that, but frankly, we're in dialogue today with labor and with the UAW, for example, on how we might do this more efficiently and can we build product here instead of importing it. So, I'm — and I'm quite optimistic about trying to find solutions for that and — you know, it's really — it needs to be worked out at the bargaining table.

But, historically, and frankly prospectively, the philosophy of building where we sell pays."

Great, figures.

A few years ago my number one customer did the same thing. Placed me out of business and into early retirement. Sad, very sad.

Will never buy a GM product if they do this.
