The continuing story of America’s devaluing dollar difficulties is one of ups and downs. While it’s certainly disturbing for Americans to see their money worth less and less on the global scene, increasingly affordable American labor is drawing the eyes of many car makers....

It's kinda funny that countries will be crying foul because the US is dumping cheap products into their economies.

I wouldn't mind an astra if GM dropped the 260hp turbo 4 into it. Then it would be pretty **** fun.

And would give my aunt's Mazda 6 The Business.

I doubt they'll care since most of them are sitting high on the hog anyway.

could this devalued dollar have a good side? not saying it's all good.. but if manufacturers, not just in the auto industry, realize that it would be cheaper to build stuff in the U.S. then that'll certainly decrease unemployment.

In some ways yes, that is why china does it on purpose and why their currency has stayed the same for over 10 years (I think more but can't remember the actual figure). It makes Amreican products cheaper overseas but has an impact on how far our dollar goes against imported goods here though.

A Turbo 4 astra would be a nice little ride!
