Looks like production will slow down for a couple of weeks in the upcoming months.

At the auto maker's plant in the northern city of Ramon Arizpe, where more than 600 layoffs are scheduled to take place this month and next, General Motors plans to stop production for six days in March plus the entire week of Easter, in April.

The Ramon Arizpe facility produces the compact Chevrolet Chevy, as well as sport-utility vehicles Saturn Vue, Chevrolet HHR and Chevrolet Captiva Sport.

"In order to maintain a balance between production and inventories, we've had to adjust once again some of our operations at our Mexican facilities," said Hector De Hoyos, director of manufacturing for General Motors de Mexico.

I could see this coming with the many HHR's on the dealer lots.

If inventories are large I could see them carry the 09 models way into the next model year. GM has already done this on a couple Saturns and the G8.

We will more plants shut down soon in the states. I would not be suprised to see Lordstown to shut down soon for a few weeks.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect to find too many 2010 model cars in the future...

that more people will be moving to my city looking for work. i was hoping that i could move to mexico and get a job there. is that the one in mexico??? or if it was in detroit i could of went there and bought a house for $1.

I'm pretty sure there are some houses in Detroit or Flint for $1 if you want...:D

it was on the news today , $1. detroit

I read some where unemployment in Mexico is pushing 40%.

Isn't that about the norm for Mexico. though??? What is the norm anyway? I mean, not every citizen can work in their services/tourist industry or migrate to the U.S.:D

Mexico's unemployment is so high because for all intents and purposes, it is still very much a third world country. Lack of education and illiteracy are a huge problem. Much of the country is still agrarian and there are a few industrial centers like Ramos Arizpe that make up the bulk of the industrial employment. You still have to be reasonably literate to work in an auto factory on the line, so those jobs actually wind up going to people at the top of the food chain.

Keep in mind those in the kidnapping and drug cartels also count as unemployed so the real number is not 40% but closer to 6% LOL.

As for houses in Detroit at $1 there still over priced.

here is anouther one of my brilliant ideas.:bow: since all the hispanic people are moving here looking for work , housing industry is down so that puts many of them out of work here , gm don't know how to run a business. why don't they re-open factories in detroit , and put the hispanics to work there , where they can also afford housing. it would be nice if my hhr had made in usa printed/engraved on it. i worked in factory , we had many cambodians working there , it was a good deal for all , at least i thought so.

Sounds like Detroit....45%+ illiteracy rate. I cannot imagine nearly half of any US City being illiterate......but there it is.

Judging by the spelling I've seen on some other forums, I'd say 45% illiteracy is low for the nation...

So you mspella a word and your a waste ? Get real brother . :eek:

Every auto maker is in dire straits right now. They are all doing temporary line shut downs. Toyota down 51%, Honda down 41% and so on. There is no place to put their new vehicles as the older models aren't selling and as they move the little sales they have, production will ramp up again accordingly.
