  Detroit - “Publisher’s note: One wonders aloud why it took an Italian acquisition to allow this country to see what most of the world already knew: The historical center of the automotive universe is America and more specifically, Detroit.

“Legions of PR, marketing and advertising people have come and gone over the last 37 years, and save for a creative and innovative few, have failed to tap into the rich performance and styling history that exemplified Chrysler Corp… Dodge Division in particular…

“…Auto enthusiasts everywhere, and most certainly the City of Detroit, owe FIAT leadership (The firm just announced it is increasing its stake to 16% of Chrysler for 1.5bil) a debt of gratitude for the fabulous image boost emergent amidst decades of societal derision. Moreover, my family is especially proud of the “Imported From Detroit” Super Bowl commercial (http://www.chrysler.com/en/) featuring the pounding fist statue of master pugilista Joe Louis “The Brown Bomber” Barrow: The Stokes’(Pulliam) and Barrows of Camp Hill, Alabama, married into each other’s families decades ago…” (from post http://t.co/58kTZy8)

 In line with previous awards such as our naming Ford F-150 as “Truck of The Decade” at the 2004 Chicago Auto Show (http://t.co/rVyOzeJ) and our placement on ER nearly a decade ago of a reproducible copy of what is considered some of the greatest advertising prose of all time: “The Penalty of Leadership” (http://www.emotionreports.com/SUV_Award/penalty_of_leadership.htm) by Theodore MacManus, these accolades are not given easily or without substantive data to render them viable.


A formal notification is being forwarded to Chrysler officials.

A Brief Analysis of Why The World's Auto Industry Should Be Concerned With GM's Sell-off of NEXTEER to The People's Republic of China

Publisher's note:        

If there was any doubt about the accuracy of assertions made in the ER analysis "GM's Transition to China" relative to who truly controls General Motors, the inexplicable sale of NEXTEER (formerly Delphi Division Saginaw Steering Gear) a tier one supplier of steering wheels to GM, Fiat SpA , Ford Motor Co, Toyota Motor Corp, Chrysler Group LLC, PSA Peugeot Citroen, along with automakers in South America, India, and China -- subsequent to the extraction of significant concessions from the UAW -- to the Beijing-controlled Pacific Century Motors JV, confirms it.  And, it is worth noting that 15 years ago in a private conversation, J.T. Battenberg III, former CEO of Delphi, was specifically warned of China's takeover intentions.


As far as eMOTION! REPORTS.com analysts are concerned -- with as much professional respect permissible -- the observably short-sighted, uninformed and irresponsible GM "management" team has just handed the automotive sector of the People's Republic of China a kill switch to its global competitors; assuming CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the US) permits this.

It goes without saying that if the aforementioned client base of Nexteer are not concerned, they very well should be.

From this analysis:           

 As its presence grew, the evidences of China’s dubious human history were there to be seen by anyone who looked. Visions of the country’s forced one-child family policy, detention centers for those citizens seeking redress from corrupt officials, the Stalin-esque elimination of millions of elderly no longer able to work --aerial photographic evidence of the horror still marked as ’ classified’ in U.S. State Department/DoD archives -- (note: eyewitness accounts include those of contract air cargo personnel for the US military who reported “rivers choked bank to bank with bodies of the old and infirm, hands tied behind their backs, as far as the eye could see at our radar avoiding’ flight level and line of sight of seven miles. We used high-resolution cameras in our PBY to document these observations, with a death toll estimate partially corroborated by the Red Cross and other capable people of at least 70 Million’ ) in the days following Mao Zhedong’s ouster of Chiang Kai-Shek to Formosa in 1949, or college students who protested were avoidable if one looked in a different direction. Also ignored was China’s blatant disregard for anyone else’s property or intellectual property rights. (It was GM’s vice chair Bob Lutz who had noticed a Jeep driving around the streets of Beijing during a much earlier visit during his tenure with Chrysler. His Chinese host proudly announced it wasn’t a Jeep, but a successful copy of the Jeep, down to every detail.)

From the press release:                       

6. Reveals, based on still classified data and imagery within US State Department and Department of Defense (DoD) archives, that Mao Zhedong, in a move echoing that of Josef Stalin, ordered the extermination of old and infirm Chinese he deemed unable to work in the aftermath of his defeat of the nationalist forces of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in 1949. The number of those killed in the days and weeks transpiring subsequent to order issuance, at least 70 million and as high as 120 million, exceeds by several orders of magnitude the known estimates in the 1949-1976 timeframe which included “The Great Leap Forward”. It is worth noting the higher estimate at the time represented half of the population of the United States. (note: Eyewitness accounts include those of contract Air Cargo personnel for the US military who reported ’rivers choked bank to bank with bodies of the old and infirm, hands tied with wire behind their backs, as far as the eye could see at our radar avoiding’ flight level and line of sight of seven miles. We used high-resolution cameras in our [Consolidated] PBY [Catalina Flying Boat] to document these observations, with a death toll estimate partially corroborated by the Red Cross and other capable people of at least 70 Million. We chanced upon this horrific scene while flying along the coast over the East China Sea not far from Shanghai, when we observed at least a thousand sharks headed inland. Having no idea what would be bringing the sharks in, we flew lower for a closer look and followed them up a river for approximately five or six miles to a sight we will never forget: a massive feeding frenzy on human victims.’)
