Are there vehicles that the “American Auto industry “ (Aka Detroit) , or the “North American Auto industry” , ( that is less foreign owned auto makers with screw driver automotive assembly plants) manufacture ?
It might be said that North Americans – be they from the US, Canada or Mexico , have been somewhat shortsighted in buying “foreign cars” , even if the cars are assembled say in the American south or at a Toyota plant in Cornwall Ontario or perhaps in the Canadian Province of Quebec.
Did these consumers not think that by buying these products that the end result would not come back to bite them ? While it may be true that at one point the domestic North American car industry was not putting out the product that North American’s wanted – that was small cars that were good on gas and downright economical. The refrain from the domestic North American car industry ( automotive) was either that “we don’t want to make econoboxes” or “there is no money or that” or maybe it was just a question of ego.
Regardless the most or best the industry would put out was poor products like the Chevy Vega ( with an aluminum engine block without sleeves for any engine durability in percentages), or the Ford Pinto – whose missing protective back plate over the gas tank, was in short supply, and was moved and removed from finished product on the lot to be recycled onto product coming off the auto assembly line so that they could be sold onto the market promptly without sales delay. The end result were the cases of exploding Pintos when rear ended. Or was it a case of producing a poor product to better bump up , and talk auto buyers , out of the lower end , smaller auto, into a larger and more expensive , more conventional and more profitable – for the dealer and auto maker , product or products ?
On top of that between the auto execs and their unions they were in bed together at the expense of the ultimate consumer and buyer of those autos. Did the union execs and their members not realize that ultimately that they should be considerate and grateful for the consumers who were buying their product and provide them with good value in their auto purchases ? Instead the unions , and their williung members always beleived that they had a hard on for the company. It was not the company who was ultimately paying the shot – it was the consumer and purchaser fo their automotive products out in the real world and the roads and highways of Canada and the US.
However ultimately in our economies – be it the US or Canada the pivot and base of our economies all goes back to cars. Be it Detroit , Ontario or Windsor Ontario “it all comes back to the car automotive industry”. These are the high paying jobs that start the ball rolling. If you do not work directly in the automotive industry – you do indirectly. Whether it is an auto assembler themselves , the restaurant they eat or dine at , the workers at the subsidiary plants that make components or supplies for the auto industry , or even a dentist filling a tooth for an automotive worker or their family on the benefits plan of Ford, G.M. or Chrysler its all the same.
The problem is that even if jobs are still created with screwdriver assembly plants , from foreign auto makers and manufacturers – the real high paying jobs- be it execs or designers are “back home” not here in our North American economy be it Canada or the US. We all lose out when we lose our national auto industry.
