I would definitely take a Lamborghini Murcielago over a Honda Civic. Any day.

I want a Vincent Black Shadow.

To be serious, maybe if the big three didn't pay billions for people not to work, the prices would be lower and the quality would be higher.

No no, Bugatti Veyron is always more welcome than a Honda, Chevy, Buick, BMW, or Benz put together.

Seriously, Ford has made some good advances forward and so has Crystler. Crystler with the help of Benz no doubt. That's about it. These others are stuck in the past. They need to get some new engineering and sexy body styles.

BMW reinvented themselves I don't see why Chevy or Pontiac can't. Don't see what I mean? Look at the last 10 years of BMW lines and tell me what you see. Chevy still makes cars with cheap plastic buttons and a dash that looks like it was made from cheap plastic. The bubble buttons, you know what I'm talking about. All the cars have the same radios, buttons and interior features. Example: Pontiac Sunbird is the same car as a Chevy Cavalier. Dumb!

Quality is also a problem with these guys. The first cars that dared to give 100,000 mile warranties were not American made sad to say.

Lots of cutting corners on design and quality. This cost the big three big sales. Now it will be twice as hard to bring people.

So, I think US car makers can do very if they were to learn from their competitors.
