The production cost/price breakdown for a typical $30,000 do you know how much goes towards labor? How many man- hours does it take to build the average car? When you spread out the hourly rate over the number of cars built how significant is the cost of labor to the customer?

Answer these questions grasshopper before inserting foot in mouth.

“The production cost/price breakdown for a typical $30,000 do you know how much goes towards labor? “

I know that over $7,000, alone, 10 years ago, went to pay the pension fund.

You might want to take that stick out of your ass before making snarky comments. It seems to keep you from knowing what you think you know.

I also know GM claims a $19 billion shortfall, still, on that pension plan.

“However, when total benefits (including pensions and health care for workers, retirees and their spouses) is factored in, GM’s total hourly labor costs is about $69, while Toyota’s is about $48.”

That is $140,000 per worker. THAT is not a LOW cost.
