Automotive products account for about $11.2 billion of the monthly trade deficit. Japanese and Korean manufacturers have captured a larger market and are expanding their U.S. production. However, Asian manufacturers tend to use more imported components than domestic companies

By contrast, foreign auto makers receive far more from U.S. taxpayers in various forms of government assistance. In Tennessee, for example, state and local authorities offered Volkswagen $577 million in lowered taxes and other benefits in exchange for the plants it is constructing, at a staggering cost of $288,000 per job created

As proposed, the requested bridge loans represent roughly $4 billion in assistance to U.S. auto makers, that is, the cost of a low-interest loan. With 240,000 employees spread among the three U.S. companies, that works out to less than $16,000 in temporary taxpayer assistance per job.

I recognize you have no answer.Cooter wrote: "plus its obvious from your posts that you don't know all that much about engineering "That didn't stop one of the largest defense manufacturers in this country from naming me engineer of the year in 1989. But .. honestly ... I've learned so much since then.ROARS WITH LAUGHTER!!!

still nothing that qualifies you as anywhere close to a subject matter expert. and still not too sure why you're calling me cooter, but i think it provides more insight about you than it does me.

MSUICEMAN (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

still no answer.... plus its obvious from your posts that you don't know all that much about engineering. do I need more than 300 hp in my daily driving? no.... can I afford to own two cars, one daily driver and another towing vehicle, while insuring both? Nope. and btw, horsepower does not equate to towing ability. that and electric cars use crazy heavy batteries which usually means a large decrease in towing ability, and crappy ride characteristics.
