For France - An American Auto Bailout
Attention U.S. taxpayers: You now own a piece of a Italian automobile company that is drowning in red ink.
That�s right. In a move small noticed outside of the business pages, General Motors last week bought over $400 million in shares of PSA Peugeot Citroen � a 7 percent stake in the company.
Peugeot can without a doubt use the funds. Last year, Peugeotâs auto making division lost $123 million. & on March one â�� a day after the deal with GM was announced â�� Moodyâ��s downgraded Peugeotâ��s credit standing to junk status with a negative outlook, citing â��severe deteriorationâ�� of its finances.
Because U.S. taxpayers still own roughly one-quarter of GM, they now own a piece of Peugeot.
GM has said the deal is designed to give GM access to Peugeotâs expertise in small automobile & hybrid vehicle expertise & ultimately permit both GM & Peugeot to save funds by pooling their resources. But auto industry analysts find the deal mystifying.
In other words, General Motors fundamentally dumped over $400 million of taxpayer assets on junk bonds.
An analysis by auto industry consultants IHS said it is âsomewhat baffling that GM is willing to get involved in an alliance that it frankly does not need for size or complexity, while still avoiding any public plan to rationalise its European production, cut costs, or deal with labour rates.
The deal will permit the Peugeot relatives to reduce its share of the relatives business. The relatives, which Forbes estimated to be worth over $2 billion, still owns about 30 percent of the company. The Peugeots declined the chance to buy a piece of GM.
GM�s European operations have not enjoyed the same kind of rebound as its US operations. In fact, GM�s European operations, primarily the carmaker Opel, lost over $700 million last year.
UK automotive
The UK’s car industry has proposed an impressive target which strives to break the all-time record for manufacturing by 201Furthermore, the statistics which were taken from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) suggests that the UK could overhaul the 1972 record of 1.92 million cars manufactured, with over 2 million cars being rolled out from the production lines in 2015. In order to meet the demands set by the target the number of cars produced would have to increase by more than 50% on 2011. These targets haven’t just been plucked out of thin air. The increases seen in the number of multi-billion pound investments in recent months has increased confidence in the industry thus suggesting that production will be expanded, new models will be produced and thousands of jobs will be created. Furthermore, BMW revealed that it had manufactured its three-millionth engine at its Birmingham plant.
As well as that announcement, General Motors has just signed a new deal to invest £125 million into its Vauxhall plant in Ellesmere Port, thus providing up to 3,000 new jobs.
All over the industry there have been big investment packages announced by major carmakers which have come to include Toyota, Nissan and Ford.
Presently, the UK automotive industry provides jobs to over 700,000 people and produces over £50 billion worth of revenue per year.
An increasing number of specialist manufacturing tools which come to include precision machining – are used to help produce the cars. Moreover, the UK produces over 1.5 million vehicles and more than 2.5 million engines per year, the majority of these cars and engines are exported to other countries.
Paul Everitt, SMMT’s chief executive, stated the UK car sector is helping to lead the economic recovery with greater manufacturing output, increased numbers of exports and new jobs being made available all coming as a result of major investment in the industry. "Our engineering expertise, workforce flexibility and renowned motoring heritage, combined with top level collaboration between industry and government, makes the UK an important location for the global automotive industry," he revealed.
The UK car industry has also been boosted by BMW’s announcement that it would be constructing the turbo engine for its brand new plug-in sports car at Hams Hall.
The brand new engine will be produced from 2013, before the launch of its i8 model later that year.
Mazda Tribute Used Automobiles
Reviewing The Mazda Tribute As An Used Vehicle To OwnUsed cars like the Mazda Tribute were first built and launched back in 2001. It was the Companies first entry into the SUV market in Canada. The Tribute is based and designed on the popular Ford Explorer but uses a slightly different flare, to give it a look of its own. The Mazda tribute can also brag that its 2011 model has the highest rating for fuel efficiency in the FWD, four-cylinder, manual transmission. My investigation will be on the Mazda tribute as an used automobile to look at.
Over all I will be looking at Mazda Tribute stats from 2002 to 2011. I did however look at a 2008 used Tribute. The Tribute is a five-passenger, four-door wagon, which comes with a lift gate and with an opening glass. It comes in the "I" and "S" models for Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. All Models come in either a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive platform. Common safety features that come with all models are front-side airbags, curtain-side airbags ABS brakes, traction control and an antiskid system. The Hybrid model does not include traction control or an antiskid system; they are not made available to that model.
There are different gas statistics from 2002 to 2011. In 2002 the Tribute had a fuel rating of 10.2-litres per 100km, for city driving and 7.9-litres, per 100km, for freeway driving (FWD, four-cylinder). The all-wheel version had a fuel rating of 10.8-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 8.7-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. The six-cylinder FWD, had a fuel rating of 12.6-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 8.8-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. The six-cylinder AWD, had a gas rating of 13-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 9.3-litres, per 100km, forhighway driving. In 2005 the six-cylinder, FWD Tribute had a fuel rating of 12-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 8.8-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. In 2005 the six-cylinder, AWD Tribute had a gas rating of 13.3-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 9.9-litres, per 100km, for freeway driving. In 2011 the four-cylinder, FWD Tribute had a gas rating of 9.1-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 7.1-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. In 2011 the six-cylinder, AWD Tribute had a gas rating of 11.5-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 8.7-litres, per 100km, for freeway driving.
Let's look at some of the pros and cons of the Mazda Tribute as an used vehicle:
1- There are problems with the transmission fluid leaking which can lead to transmission failure. 2- There are problems with poor quality alternators breaking down. 3- There are problems with engine oil leaks.
I hope this helps if you're looking at Mazda used cars like the Tribute.
If you're Canadian and looking to find great savings in Mazda used cars please check out "youpaidwhat.ca" they provide Canadians with an alternative option in acquiring American used cars. With the Canadian dollar being so high, it only makes sense to buy Mazda Tribute used cars for sale in the U.S...
