OMG could Goodyear make a comeback after Hoosier put it to them over competition & consumerism ?

Would there be as many Honda's & other foreign vehicles on the road here if it wasn't for NAFTA & would have the big 3 really been as bad off as they were a few years ago ?

Money talks Bulls^%t walks.

The answer is yes. NAFTA is a North American agreement which has nothing to do with Asia, that would be TPP. Honda, Toyota and others were well established long before NAFTA.

One of the things that made Hoosier great was there ability to talk with every level of racer. I can almost assure you that will be lost..Even if they leave all of there current people in place and pretend to leave them alone,, that is just not the way those people do business..
Toyota is Japanese, not British, and Daimler (German) sold Chrysler to Fiat (Italian), so...

Mid to late 70's for cars if I remember right. The Honda Civic was the big thing.
