Hey Guys and Gals,

I work in the American Automotive Business and depend on my fellow Americans to help support our industry.

I just figured with all the talk of Economy being down and with GM just getting another Credit reduction I would dig this one up and remind everyone what the real deal is.

Thanks for your consideration.

'CNN Headline News did a short news listing regarding Ford and GM's
contributions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and
Washington.

The findings are as follows.....

1. Ford- $1 million to American Red Cross matching employee
contributions
of
the same number plus 10 Excursions to NY Fire Dept. The company also
offered
ER response team services and office space to displaced government
employees.

2. GM- $1 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions
of
the same number and a fleet of vans, suv's, and trucks.

3. Daimler Chrysler- $10 million to support of the children and victims
of
the Sept. 11 attack.

4. Harley Davidson motorcycles- $1 million and 30 new motorcycles to the
New
York Police Dept.

5. Volkswagen-Employees and management created a Sept 1 1 Foundation,
funded
initial with $2 million, for the assistance of the children and
victims of the WTC.

6. Hyundai- $300,000 to the American Red Cross.

7. Audi-Nothing.

8. BMW-Nothing.

9. Daewoo- Nothing.

10. Fiat-Nothing.

11. Honda- Nothing despite boasting of second best sales month ever in
August 2001

12. I suzu- Nothing.

13. Mitsubishi-Nothing.

14. Nissan-Nothing.

15. Porsche-Nothing. Press release with condolences via the Porsche
website.

16. Subaru- Nothing.

17. Suzuki- Nothing.

18. Toyota-Nothing despite claims of high sales in July and August 2001.
Condolences posted on the website

Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease a new vehicle,
keep
this information in mind. You might want to give more
consideration to a car manufactured by an American-owned and / or
American
based company. Apart from Hyundai and Volks wagen, the foreign car
companies contributed nothing at all to the citizens of the United
States.
It's OK
for these companies to take money out of this country, but it is
apparently
not acceptable to return some in a time of crisis. I believe
we should not forget things like this. Say thank you in a way that gets
their attention..
