So. It still hasn't done any better than 8500 for months now.

“Based on the fact that we have no major new products to show at the 2009 Detroit and Chicago auto shows, as well as the current economic conditions which will impact the shows’ marketing effectiveness, we have decided to cancel our involvement and participation in the 2009 North American International Auto Show and the Chicago Auto Show.” (click title to entry, thank you)

What does that tell everyone about the 'state of the USA economy?' Huh? Lots of jobs and lots of money floating around to spend on cars, right?

NOT !

Get out of the way of progess to reinvigorating the USA economy with jobs and plenty of ECO-FRIENDLY strategies. It might just be the case that the internal combustion engine is DEAD! Let's hope so. Let's see, Bush threw a few million at the hydrogen car back in 2002? What good did it do?

Bush basically 'shut down' high speed rail, yet alone high speed magnetic rail. Cost the American consumers tonnes of money in oil revenues and tax breaks for draconian industry.

OBAMA !

OBAMA !

OBAMA !



With a few minor drops in China markets, the rest of the global community is registering far higher percentages today. This is a good thing?
