That's true Lobo. MY father inlaw was also a strict union man (until he started his own company, used nothing but union men and they put him right out of business) and he gave me a ration for putting his brothers out of work buying those German cars. I told him there was absolutely NO REASON American companies could not build a better sports car then the Germans, or anyone else, but they REFUSE to do it.
If you want a Corvette, fine, but why can't one of the big three build something similar to a Boxster or NSX??? We have a gazillion different front engine front wheel drive units that will plug right in behind the seats of a two seater.
A Solstice is a beginning, but has anyone driven one?? What a POS!
