GM might move to CHINA? WTF

WHether the game is unfair or not, its the game. It is what it is. You either play by it, or you sit out.

I get GRILLED all the time over my headers, which are obviously made overseas in mass quantities. The US fabricators are bitching that my product is cheap and not as nice as theirs. But mine is 1/4 the cost, and i prob make more money on 1 unit than they do.

Im not supposed to adapt to THEM, they are supposed to adapt to ME. When the BULK of your competition is going overseas, making headers for 1/4 the cost of the US competitiors. 2 things are going to happen

1) THe Customer is going to say "i want the US product" and the china people go out of business
2) The customer is going to say "i want the China product " and the US people go out of business.

so for #2 is what is occurring. The customer has dictated the quality, contruction, etc is good enough for them to spend 1/4 the price of the uS good

That is what I have a problem with. However I might as well go bash my head against a brick wall... I'll take the BETTER MADE (american or import) product over Option 2. This usually ends up being a Japanese import lol.

Exactly

Now go look at CHINA cars, for the most part they suck lol. But its because poeple are greedy.

I could make my headers for $20 a piece, and i would have a 50-60% failure rate. But i would make ALOT more money. I CHOOSE to pay ALOT more per header, so i have better quality and i dont get a name synonamous with JUNK.

GM could produce cars very cheap, but of decent quality in China, and prob stack FAT CASH which is what they need. I Mean, hell if they could make stacks of money in china, all the faster to pay us back right?

as we discussed on AIM, i can honestly see GM leaving to go overseas for a decade, while the Unions break and faulter. They are going to go make some money, improve their product, and come back when the economic climate isnt so bad.

IMO of course
