The "Big 3" want to go bankrupt and are taking as much money on the way down as they can. They have blinders on for the simple reason that when (not if) they go down; they will be able to go non-union. They will produce the same crappy cars (smaller), put a higher profit in their pocket, and sell them for slightly less. Buy used, get a fresh motor from a crash when needed. It's called recycling.

A couple of items.....How long does it take FORD to ship the cars already produced in Europe to the US?? This will show FORD they need to get going to produce then here. Retooling here is a lame excuse.DOT will need to help pass these cars here.
Smart is already producing a diesel car that gets 100 MPG and we can't get it here; only in Canada and elsewhere.
