Dooming themselves to a world of darkness? Top it off with an SU factory and we would not have to worry about them for a long, long time.

GOP Canidate Dick DeVos Outsourced 1400 Jobs to China.

Quote:
According to MG Motors officials, approximately 550 jobs will be created in Oklahoma, including headquarters operations, assembly operations, parts and distribution operations and research and development.
If Devos brought those jobs back, we would be still be up 550 jobs.

Now if someone running could create jobs and keep jobs...................but with oil at $75 a barrel, hard for anyone to do in a manufacturing state.

Yes, Bush's fault......there I said it.

Maybe Lucas did the electronics on the missiles that blew up. Sort of like honking the horn to get the turn signal to work in the old XKE, or turning it off and then back on to get the dash lights to work, or...

It says the MG GT Concept looks bland but has a 200HP V6.

I'm not impressed by the looks either. Most of the other cars on that blog are way more interesting. A Pontiac Solstice is a way cooler design.

I think it looks a lot like a baby 996TT. The faux splitter is a little off putting though.

British Leyland technology, built by the Chinese with Oklahoma labour.
