MacGregor Gives Translation from the Scots
Translation for yins (all of you) poofters (wimps, possibly GayBobs) from the Scots dialect:
Yins (all of you) seen it ALL today. Sonic = WIMP CAR. Sorry to declare it. What do yins (all of you) Tuners ken (know, understand)?
Hey Dudes. Dint (don't) blame me! Ae'em (I am) jist (just) the Messenger.
WTF? You need a translation? My post was BASIC COMMUNICATION! And dint (don't) ony (any) of yins (all of you) accuse me of being a Troll, for God's sake!
Dint yins ken tha' Hank Ford I imported technical school trained men fra (from) Scotland to the Dearborn Rouge Complex to be his foremen? They were called "Limeies," for the Limes that Scots sailors on British Naval ships (officered by Englishmen) in the 18th and 19th Centuries. They ate Limes to prevent Scurvie. Even TODAY foremen at FoMoCo are called "The Limeie." Just some automotive history fer (for) yins (all of you) so's (so as) ye (you) won't brand me as a Troll.

Then you may want to buy a Honda or possibly a Toyota. The Fiesta is not built in the states, but the Civic is.

Toyota Factories

you do realize your looking at a entry level chevy for interior build quality? maybe you just got a lemon car but you get what you pay for. i hopefully will be taking a look at a sonic this weekend and i will post up my review.
aww.. keep macgregor around.. he's fun and gives me something to laugh at even though i have no idea what he's saying.
anyways, i'm looking forward to the sonic and getting back in a chevy, my cobalt ss was awesome.

nothing wrong with expecting excellent fitment and build quality in a cheaper car. but yes, you are going to get plenty of hard plastic in this class.
one of the first things i look at when i get into a new car is the area where the A pillar meets the headliner. the sonic i test drove last monday was sloppy there...some gap and unevenness where the plastic should fit tightly against the headliner. other gaps were uneven in the interior. cheap subcompacts can be better than this, as the fiesta , fit and accents i checked out were.
The more you explain yourself the less sense you make.

I do not have this "uneveness" in my sonic. Granted, my is an LTZ but I don't believe that changes much in terms of what you're describing.

Neato, in the sub-compact class, niether the Honda Fit nor the Toyota Yaris are manufactured in the US
That's the problem with GM now, and the rest of Detroit for that matter. Parasitic union thugs have made workers feel they deserve outrageous salaries and pensions, which, considering the low profit margins on autos, are bankrupting GM. Between the government and union socialists, they have all but completely ruined a once thriving, beautiful, shining American city and driven it's main means of popularity and support, the American automobile industry, into the ground. I mean, the American taxpayer have been forced to bail GM out not once, but twice in the last two years, for possibly billions of dollars... Who knows the real cost. We've yet to be reimbursed, and may never see a return.
I don't blame workers for wanting the best salaries they can get... they have families to support. But I do blame disingenuous UAW thugs, gangsters and, in my opinion, anti-American socialist criminals for giving workers unrealistic expectations. UAW and AFL/CIO thugs hold both automakers and workers hostage to their insatiable demand for more and more dollars from the pockets of those who actually earn those funds.
Union workers either cannot, or refuse to see the truth of what's going on. The UAW bosses and AFL/CIO executives hold conventions and stay in $1000.00- $1500.00 a night exclusive hotels while the workers they claim to care so much for are lucky to afford a measly Motel 6 with a bed who's sheets have been changed after the last two visitors.
Times are changing. If GM and their workers don't wake up they may not have any factories left to work in... that is after union and labor bosses get finished with them.
There are people in this country, and I'm darned sure in Detroit, who would drool over $15.00 an hour jobs right about now. Workers should compromise with GM by accepting less salary in exchange for not paying union dues and throwing those UAW bosses and AFL/CIO thugs right out on their parasitic @$$3s, once and for all. Union thugs do absolutely nothing to earn the extensive salaries they pay themselves on the backs of the worker, for making deals which will ultimately screw and, as a matter of a fact, have already screwed workers and almost annihilated a once beautiful and prosperous Detroit Michigan.
Between the leftist idiots who have been running Detroit (into the ground) for the past thirty+ years and union/labor parasites, any person with a minute measure of insight would agree they all need to be placed on trial for extortion, racketeering and a host of other crimes against the American auto worker, and other blue collar workers in general for that matter.
Furthermore, no one is entitled to anything except what they work for. If workers except a certain wage, then they should do the very best job they can. If they aren't getting paid enough, no one's twisting their arms to work there. This idea of doing a so-so job under any circumstance is BS. It's not as if we live under communist rule where workers are forced to work for low wages or face imprisonment. At least, we're not there yet! Leave it to the unions and current like-minded government scoundrels however, we are rapidly heading there.
GM should be making a good, quality product, regardless!
Throw the flippin' UAW and labor unions out on their fat, lazy scheming butts, and GM, workers, get back to doing what you do best... building the world's BEST products!

Yeah, that's EXACTLY what we need, entire communities making $15.00 an hour.
Sure beats entire communities living off welfare and unemployment like they are now!

Uhhh, that's not what I said. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing!
On the other hand, when's the last time you saw all of the wonderful architecture decaying and rotting, and entire neighborhoods disappearing in Detroit? It will only get worse unless the problems I've stated are addressed, and addressed quickly.
Workers should plan for their own retirement... especially considering what most UAW workers have been earning the last 30+ years. How long do you think companies can sustain paying workers $25,000.00 - $40,000.00 a year pensions, for 20 years or longer after retirement? Retired workers don't produce anything... and even common sense dictates companies will go bankrupt under such plans, eventually. It's inevitable!!!
There has to be a lot of compromise, on all sides, if GM and other such companies are to survive.
yeah get bill on the phone! lol
