GM stopped being an American company many, many years ago. Infact the american operation is only a very small part of its global operations, and contributes only a small amount in terms of design and engering. Most of which is now done in Europe and Japan. Ford is pretty much the same.

Most definitely. Two of the most proficient companies at losing money. Need I remind anyone that the best Car companies at MAKING money over the past decade are Porsche, BMW, Toyota and Honda. And what does it say about American cars when the NEW crossfire is based on the outgoing SLK. And another Chrysler (I forget which) is based on the old E-class. So when Mercedes is done with 9 year old technology, they pass it down to Chrysler. |

Re: Relating Cars to cultures (US - Jap - Europe)
Thats alright, did you know the Honda Accord Wagon, and the Toyota Camry Wagon, two very popular FWD mid-larger size station wagons were both designed in the US? And are even assembled in the US and exported to Japan?
The previous generation Honda Civic coupe was only ever built in the US, yet was exported to Japan and Australia. There are actualy plenty of cars designed and manufactored in the US, many useing some quite modern technology, its just that not all of them are made by GM, Ford or Crysler.

Re: Relating Cars to cultures (US - Jap - Europe)
Ok... no one can read I guess... I didn't say they were the BEST companies, or the most PROFITABLE, nor did I say They were only in America, I was reminding you that by sheer volume, not volume of sales, simply size of the company, GM is the BIGGEST company in the World; pretty sure Exxon-Mobile is next. Ford is also Among the top 50, but no where is Toyota, Honda, etc.

would you rather own a huge business that is losing money or a decent sized business that making piles and piles of it?

Mitsubishi, with over 26 divisions including chemical corporations, estate corporations to finances makes more that 117 Billions. 0wn3d! Well, GI is pretty much the biggest corporation in the World when it comes to customers. Exxon is big, but not that big. You pretty much forgot those Megacorps from Asia and Europe.

Re: Relating Cars to cultures (US - Jap - Europe)
Honda is also in the top 50 compaines in the world. Honda Motor Co. Revenues are different from profits.
Look at the Global 500 companies, then you see the figures, there are companies in the world that are in the top 100 but have negative marginal returns. They are going down the rabbit hole.

And I went there and I can really say-

Eh! Wrong. Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Chemicals and Mitsubishi Electronics are all 3 differnt corperations. After WWII the single company was split into three, as it posed to great a risk to western companys trying to get a foot hold in Japan, and held far to much control over the Japanese economy, preventing the rise of new and orginal Japanese industrys which were needed to help rebuild the country.

All that talk about the biggest company is somewhat irrelevant.
GM can be the biggest for all I care. The key point is they don't make cars that I want to own. BMW and Porsches are more desirable worldwide. |
