In the recent news, there have been two major automobile manufacturers that have announced a partnership with America's Credit Unions to Invest in America by providing discounts to members looking to buy a new car.

GM has adopted the Invest in America program by offering members up to 4.5% off of the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) on top of any other rebates or discounts offered to buyers. Chrysler's involvement has been established through a "Credit Union Member Cash" program which offers $500 or $1,000  (depending on the model) to members financing a new vehicle through their credit union.
