Big Brother is Watching the Imports (Finally)

19 11 09 - 23:39

It has been obvious to those of us in Detroit, that for decades NHTSA & our media have reveled in kicking the Big 3's collective ass all over the news. In our view, this abrupt turn around by the wonks at NHTSA, has been long time coming. Thankfully, the media is not ignoring the issue this time around. Conspiracy Theorists all around Cali & DC are quietly clucking about the US Goverment's attack on this "sudden" surge in serious safety issues on many imported vehicles. Could the fact that the US taxpayers now own a real stake in GM & Chrysler be the driving force behind this bureaucratic awakening? Or is it just a coincidental bad luck by a bunch of the import brands?

Now that we've all "got a little skin in the game", the Gov't needs to fully investigate the stories of the deceptive way that many imported cars are being safety tested. For years, rumors have circulated around Detroit about imported, specially prepped Crash Test vehicles found to have extra welds, structural foam, & heavier gauge metals not found in production vehicles. No formal investigation has ever been done.

Maybe, just maybe, somebody'll be able to tell us if those whispered stories & water cooler rumors are true....

I'll bet that I can predict the answer.
