We should also thank all those people who bought the locally made Chevy Cruze.

Unfortunately, far too many people in the Mahoning Valley choose to drive foreign brand cars. 

P.S.  Our Fourth Ward Councilman drives a Chevy Cruze.   :)

It's also called failure to compete.

Our two vehicles are American assembled, Jeep Liberty in Toledo and Ford F250 probably from the Rouge.  Since Lordstown does not make jeeps or pickups, it is unlikely that I'll be driving a Lordstown product anytime soon.

iwasthere you have to remember that there are a whole lot of people who would dearly love to see GM go out of business and deeply resent the fact that they got a baleout.
