Re: [62vetteefp]: by kernick on Mon Dec 01 12:30:47 PST 2008; No, capacity. The big 3 have shut down and are shutting down plants to reduce capacity. You're confusing 2 things as one. Capacity is how many vehicles your plants can make. If you have Plant A that can make 100,000 Malibus, but the market is only buying 75,000 Malibus, then the plant has to adjust to make 75,000 Malibus, and it thus is being utilized 75%. If they are selling 60,000 Malibus then the plant slows down and they make 60,000 Malibus and the plant is utilized 60%. It is idle 40%, or it is running slower than optimum. If you close Plant A then yes you have cut capacity. You would cut capacity 100,000 Malibus. If you reduce how many cars Plant A is making, then you have reduced utilization. 2 different things; try some of the following: http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/quarterly_review/1976v1/v1n1article2.pdf When demand goes down, utilization goes down, thus resulting in a higher cost/unit, thus reducing profit (or increasing loss per unit). (I'm a Mfg. Engr. and have an MS in Business Management.) If plant closings keep going down and corresponding new plants are not built then sooner or later there is a crossover and the country will have under capacity. "Mothballing"; are you familiar with that? Or the good manufacturers can deal with the good and bad times. I hate to use this example but what is Toyota doing during this slowdown, that's also affecting them? They are training people in new skills, and doing extra maintenance; while they still may idle for a week here and there. They can run at 50% utilization for the next 6 months if need be, and then if GM goes under run at 100%. A good manufacturer has long-term planning, and is a marathoner not a sprinter. Most manufacturers will simply ride out this "storm", and take advantage of the turnaround.

no title: by citivas on Wed Nov 26 07:15:33 PST 2008; I ended up with the Pilot despite the look and my initial lack of enthusiasm for the drive, so I sympathize. I test drive it early and walked away pretty sure I wouldn't get it. But the more I test drove other cars (Toyota, Mazda, Acura, BMW, Audi, Volvo, GM models, Ford�s Flex), the more I was amazed that none of them, even the luxury models, had the same range of features as the Pilot (only the Ford with MS Sync came close on features). The luxury lines all had nearly useless third rows and uncomfortable middles seats in the second rows. And even most of them didn�t have the same degree of cabin tech the Honda did. Even its Acura cousin doesn�t have fully-integrated iPod control from the nav screen or voice command. That may be a trivial feature to some but our family LOVES it. We use it every day, more than radio. So in the end we went with the model that had all the features we wanted. Everyone is different � we prioritized features and space in the end over look or drive. I still don�t like the look, but interestingly I completely changed my mind about the drive and really like it now. I think the problem was I was used to the 6-gear cars that just have a different feel for acceleration. When I test drove it, it seems sluggish on acceleration; it felt �heavy.� But once I drove it enough after buying it I found its groove (i.e. the right way to accelerate) and now find it quite responsive. In fact I have tested its 0-60 times and done well better than what was reported in numerous reviews, so I wonder if the testers needed a similar learning curve. And while I have not tried the emergency braking test, I definitely find its typical use braking superior in feel to the Toyota Sienna we own or the Highlander my in-laws own� For what its worth, the Pilot has sold itself to my friends, without even trying. I have had two people so far who spent time driving with me in mine who subsequently got one. I wasn�t trying to sell them on it and in fact pointed out that their situations were different than mine (in terms of family size, etc.). But they were both in the SUV market and became so impressed with it after spending long drives in it that they changed their minds. One of them was about to get the Volvo and could have leased it for exactly the same terms (actually slightly better terms) as the Pilot and went with the Pilot. They hadn�t even had it on their radar prior to driving with me.

They're $15 per tip, or $100 for each Y-pipe/tip assembly. Here are some pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/38170232wLNids

Re: 1986 dodge caravan se passenger side sliding door (manual type) [rayfalcon]: by jpf on Sat Nov 22 14:42:33 PST 2008; Try a Haynes auto repair manual for the diagram. Maybe a local auto salvage place has the door parts that you need. Good luck.

Re: Some might say this is a moral issue? [bpraxis]: by jpf on Sat Nov 22 14:32:29 PST 2008; When it reaches a point and our freedom is on the line, who makes the steel and builds the armaments? I guess we'll depend on the Chinese owned steelmakers and the Japanese owned automakers. By the way, without any U.S. based industry where do the American engineers go to work? I guess we'll let the Japanese or Chinese busineses equip our military. Let's hope they don't become our enemies.

Re: A previous poster is quoted below. [rangerover2]: by kdhspyder on Thu Nov 20 20:26:39 PST 2008; This paragraph is at the heart of your presentation and it's basically flawed so your conclusion is erroneous.... The Big 3 have problems but they did not get into this state by themselves. The U.S. government with their Free Trade policies and inept healthcare policies does not help. Anyone can setup shop with no import penalities, no legacy costs and Government sponsorship (Japanes & U.S. State governments looking for an import plant). Absolutely, absolutely wrong. The detroiters got into the cost, health benefit, unbalanced product portfolion all by themselves. There are hundreds of thousands of other business that have been in existence since the 50's when the irrevocable slide began in Detroit. Many of these business like MS and Intel and Boeing and GE and others just got it right and didn't sell out to the union in order to keep the peace. Look at CAT. No the detoiters did it to themselves because they weren't willing to make tough decisons. Everyone else in the US was operating under the same system of rules and regs as the vehicles makers. It's just that the detroiters screwed themselves.
