Bailout, US Top Gear, Mercedes SLC Gullwing - 12/12/2008

So what’s going to happen to GM now? Will I still be able to get my new Camero? You know what would save those guys? A dohc, hemi, fuel stratification injection, variable intake manifold, variable valve timing (intake and exhaust), variable geometric twin turbo carbon fibered aluminum framed Cobolt SS with paddle shifters baby! GM would be rocking then!

new song sucks.

"Fastlane Daily " I love this Show ,But Where is Baby Carrie Mill Banks??

where Derek get his clothes --Salvation Army or off homeless>

  Oh and another thing... Will Mercedes Benz be using a Dodge Viper chassis for the iconic return of their beloved Gullwing series, because that seems to be similar or is a Viper under all that cloak.

i hate to sound like a dick, but because i grew up on a farm, this kind of gets to me...the first pic you had for the comment of the week...that's not a cow, its a Scottish Highlander..but i love the show, and love the cars.....poo

  Yep, just straight talk Derek, tell it to 'em... believe if this bail-out does'nt  go thru, them greedy bosses and auto unions/workers needs to make a lot of "really" big compromises and huge changes in much about everything.

If Mercedes wants an American location to test their cars they should use the cities in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Where derek gets his clothes? second hand or salvation army

2 minutes of research produced the following information 

"Thanks in part to managerial incompetence, but mostly due to pricey union contracts, it costs American carmakers too much to build cars here; they can’t compete. When you fold in health care, pensions, hourly pay, vacations and the rest, average total compensation for a Big Three autoworker is .21 an hour, according to data cited by University of Michigan economist Mark Perry.

Toyota, Honda and Nissan pay a still-generous .20 an hour in total compensation — a cost edge of nearly 40%. Is it any wonder that Ford, GM and Chrysler can’t compete?" 

Comrade DD,

Please confine yourself to humor and bad dressing and leave any sort of political insight to someone who completed Community College. If you think that the UAW and it's membership are anything other than obstructionist and a drag on the Big 3's competitiveness, you are misinformed or find math challenging. Don't get me wrong, management is also culpable, but keep your Socialist leaning rants to yourself. Perhaps take the week off as we all like Alex better anyway : )

Sincerely, 

PRW

really wish to see u in top gear US =)
