actually that rumer been running around for a while, Ford, GM, Chrysler they all had money given to them to keep them from going bankrupt.
if anything it probably be a good thing to buy one right now because of the employee pricing. Personally I rather go with Japanese cars, like Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi is made by chrysler but still has Mitsubishi stuff. Honda,
if you really want to get technical Toyota is American too.
