My my... you really don't like un.ions do you? Chances are you would have done better for yourself had you taken a un.ion job. You wouldn't work for Magna now would you? I am really unconcerned as to how this all plays out in regards to large corporations and whether or not someone continues to make certain models of cars. The loss of jobs is very sad, but humans are very resilient and I know workers will get other jobs and survive. To those that worry about warranties from a bankrupt or obsolete company, I think you put way to much faith in warranties. I put my faith in in the passion of the people who design and build the vehicles. They are the best chance at having a trouble free ownership with a vehicle. Aftermarket warranties are available if it is a must have though, I just consider them a waste of money. The domestic verses Japenese vehicle debate...they both have good and bad points. A car manufacturer shouldn't have to rely on the exclusion of other manufacturers to stay in competion. There are a lot of factors at play here, don't put it all on the un.ion. Have you looked at the salaries and bonuses of executives in the last 20 years? Open your eyes people. Who makes the products? Executives get paid regardless of performance in most cases and then they'll lay workers off when the company is in trouble rather than doing the honourable thing and resigning as a Japanese executive would do.

UAW are you kidding. Please don't come south with any U N I O N ideas. That is what has killed the US auto industry. UAW is a dieing org. And they only have themselves to blame. Chrysler should of headed South when they were bailed out the first time. There would of been no u n i o n and they would be in alot better shape today. s are for lazy people and single minded in purpose. If I have offeded anyone, I am sorry for that. But if you work for a , I would be looking for another job real soon. They are dinosuars and with their track record... headed for extincsion. Parasites and that is all I have to say.
