Maybe if Ford and GM (not including Chrysler as it's basically Mercedes- Benz) had "bigger picture" marketing and planning policies we wouldn't even being discussing this. As GM now has Korean cars in their line up, the Ford Fusion is a Mazda, there are so many cross-country assembled cars (the Mini being one) that a low cost car could have been manufactured (or assembled, there is a difference) in one of the soon-to-be closed Ford or GM plants. Think it's going to happen?

I don't.
