A lot of people, especially some in very high places are very critical of GM closing the factory that produces the Versa and justifying it with the lame excuse that nobody in the US is buying them. We know that everybody here is buying high profit trucks and SUVs while there is still a lot of demand for small Versa type cars in other countries. GM is we know, being very unpatriotic in sending the production overseas to where the market is just to try to keep from loosing money on the car. So how about this for a solution: The US gov't. orders all branches to change their auto purchases to include lets say 50% US made compacts or Versa equivalents in order to keep the jobs here. Sure this is gov't manipulation of business and free trade, and I would not be in favor of it myself, but it would make a difference in GM being able to keep production here instead of just yelling "UNPATRIOTIC!" and telling them that they need to keep the plant open and loose a lot of money.
