Interesting, but the management still had to agree to the contract and the average auto worker in Japan makes about the same as an old line US worker so maybe the real issue is productivity. In fact if you think about it a bit why is it that Toyota, Honda, Kia & Hyndai can build plants in the USA and still make money, must be that productivity/management and building something that people want to puchase can make the difference.


Just my 2 cents and I am not a bleeding heart as I have moved several factories to low cost countries and will do so when it makes cent$.

Toyota in particular pay very well and trat their employees like gold just to keep the UAW out of their North American operations.

I like the orange. A friend of mine has a '76 911 in "continental" orange. Seems similar to the new GT3-RS pic colors. Another friend had a signal orange 914. I guess the 1970's were good to Orange (think safety colors). While not a standard Boxster color, Porsche will paint your car to match ANY color, for a fee (likely $3-5K).

Orange exterior, White interior. mmm Creamsicles shall rise up again!
