If they think no one will notice that not a single Mexican factory got hit by this or that they've betrayed the very people that saved their bacon just a few years ago, I think they've miscalculated. Like him, hate him they now have a president that will not forget nor let the public forget what they've chosen to do. Left or right they've made enemies on both sides of the isle. If their looking for handouts or breaks they'll be tough to defend by any party. Chevy's all American Chevrolet and apple pie image is and will continue to be damaged by this.
While I fully understand they could give 2 deuces about me or any American (at least that's the impression I now have about them) I am a consumer that buys rather expensive new cars at least every 3 - 4 years. Once the Camaro is rotated out I will no longer look to GM for my next vehicle. Hope they can find enough Mexican customers to fill the void.
Heard Ford is going to build a new Bronco and the Ranger in Raptor trim looks interesting as well. That will probably be my next direction if I don't do a Mustang or Challenger.

well said. I've bought three new in the last five years. This is a betrayal. The American people saved them, not Mexico or China. I've owned two Hondas. They are very good and built in Ohio
