Down the sewer she goes.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 12:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK is stupidly throwing subsidies at both ends of production to keep the lines going. Pretty soon these subsidies will be gone and so will the production.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder which Mfg will leave first?
As Mr Think will shortly confirm this is all part of the Kirchners' master plan to heal the economy and ensure Argentinas return to being a major economic power.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I suppose “when” would be an interesting question.
After Argentina's shock victory against a depleted Australian RU team they couldn't quite avoid a whipping by the Scots yesterday, who, like the Aussies, were reduced to 13 players by some awful refereeing.
The two Sistahs have never been right about anything. Not once. In all the time I've been on here.

No $hit!!
Nov 09th, 2014 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Even in 'the good times' the exports from TDC are nothing short of abysmal.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0An average of 28,969 per month for the last TEN months for the WHOLE of the argie motor industry for the whole of the world makes me wonder why the manufacturers bother. However that represents 56% of total build. The volumes being made in TDC are so piss poor I just cannot see how ANY car company is making a profit. The answer is they cannot when suffering production rates at LESS than 62% of the same period just one year ago.
It reminds me of the bad old days of the UK motor industry. The Mini COST BL £5.00 per car leaving the factory (and a fiver was money then) and when, at an engineering forum for the industry I asked the question: why don’t you put the price up, I was howled down that the car wouldn’t sell then.
So being me, I asked the obvious question: well why sell it anyway because if it does take off (which everybody knew it would) BL will be broke? The answer (from the BL guy) was ‘that will never happen’.
But it did. And the rest as they say is history.
Ok Chris.......I am feeling dumber than par. What does TDC stand for?

hth - hope that helps (generic thread speak)
what is 'par' in this context? ie: 'dumber than'
Is it anything to do with golf?
Im surprised the argies aint offered some motors as compensation whilst they are waiting..
Nov 09th, 2014 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 07. Without the subsidies they can't be making money, plus the hassle of getting U$ out, the parts interruptions, lazy and entitled employees they must be getting ready to close up shop.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 09:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can't see why anyone would mfg in Argentina.
Lose lose
Venezuela 2.0, but with out the PDVSA oil slush-funds. Doesn't bode well. Soon the will be zero car mfg in Argentina.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 09:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0WTF are they playing at?
Is there a new book out called “Destroying Your Economy For Dummies”?
Must be a best-seller in Arg & Ven.
I have come to believe they are deliberately destroying the country.
Nov 09th, 2014 - 09:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I've not figure out why, it could be to make the next Prez job impossible and she got the timing wrong so its now falling on the K legacy.
Otherwise its anyone guess.
Why is Chavism destroying Venezuela? Could be the same reason why Kirchnerism is destroying Argentina.

If you check the YOY reduction for yourself you will find it's 25.8%, an error of 8.76%.
Nov 10th, 2014 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0I thought most people reading this would have spotted the arithmetic was incorrect but clearly not.
I don't think Sistah understands math very well and has obviously never worked in a job that required to know how to make a profit.
Nov 10th, 2014 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Plus she's the only one talkin' 'bout Brazil.
I think she's lonely up at 1am posting on an anonymous web site to people that think she's a crazy ol' knob.
Kinda sad
I don't think the dumb Yank understands the difference between Maths and Arithmetic.....Doh!!
