Jeff-thanks for the post, the article is an interesting one and something that in my town has been known for months. Their is plenty of blame to go around in this deal, so research it and then blame all guilty parties. BREAKING NEWS-Toyota is laying off people in the United States! You gentlemen (not including Jeff Lee) have not a clue about what the deal is about this GM crisis and what the consequences could be if GM falls. I see it everyday in my community and it is sad. Hope you never have to go through what people in my area live with everyday. Spend some of your time online looking at the Detroit News or the Detroit Freepress or the local Detroit television news broadcasts to get a better idea of what the real deal is.
This is not opinion, but the brutal truth.....
Have a nice day,

In an earlier post I did bash Chrysler and I still feel they deserve it.They have been building cars that aren't keeping current with real world situations.I have a 1999 Dakota I tow with and I love the truck.Their
problem is with the cars.They flat out get **** gas milage.Being taken over 3 times since the early 80s hasn't helped their image.This gas problem didn't start recently and they never worked to raise fuel milage in the cars.GM still hasnm't learned to stop the model duplication accross brand lines.Let GMC build trucks,Chevy bread and butter cars,buick more upscale cars and Pontiac sportier cars and let Cadillac be what Cadillac used to be.Hummer should have been dumped before they came out with the H3.And I wish I could get 80% of my pay for sitting on my *** when things got slow.Auto workers have known their jobs were not 12 month guaranteed,that's why they get a high rate of pay.And the Jap cars are laying off only because us poor suckers dont have the money to buy ANY new cars.And BTW I have never bought and very infrequently ridden in a Jap car and I'm 63 years old.And I race a car that parts are not the easiest to come by.They are out there,sometimes having to be either fabricated or modified.I can't go to an AMC dealer or Summit/Jegs like the big 3 for some of my stuff.The ironic part would be if a Jap or Korean co. bought a majority share into one of the big 3.
And Detroit hasn't been a suburb of Beverly Hills for a long time.
