Comments on: No Joy in Mudville, Auto Makers Have Struck Out http://chemicallygreen.com/bailouts-auto-industry/ Making Sense out of the Green Environment Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:32:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: chemicallygreen.com http://chemicallygreen.com/bailouts-auto-industry/#comment-29324 chemicallygreen.com Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:37:44 +0000 http://chemicallygreen.com/?p=965#comment-29324 @GlobalPatriot: Thanks for your comments. It is interesting that the two top selling vehicles in the US in December were US suvs and pickup trucks, not small cars or hybrids. Prius sales have dropped > 48% and if gas prices continue to stay in their current ranges, foreign car sales will continue to suffer. Oil is being stored all over the world in anticipation of future price increases. I do not trust our government to get the economic situation corrected anytime soon. If small businesses can't survive, then there will be little funds to buy any type vehicles. We can't give up, get'er'done. Best wishes for a 2009. @GlobalPatriot: Thanks for your comments.

If small businesses can’t survive, then there will be little funds to buy any type vehicles. We can’t give up, get’er’done.

The bottom line is that Americans will buy whatever cars are available, and if the big three go down, they will buy from other manufacturers who will need to hire workers to fill the demand - so no net job loss.
