The arrogance of GM, Chrysler and their employees never ceases to amaze me. Some of these people literally think that they are God's gift to auto manufacturing and that the entire country will come to a screeching halt if they went down.

The American driving public gave up on GM and Chrysler long ago. Either both companies work to make themselves relevant once again or into the "ash heap of history they should go."

I love this guy and agree with everything he wrote. In the 80s I got a new Cadillac every two years. The last one was a 1990 model. That was the end of my General Motors affair. I am now almost twenty months into my latest Toyota, an Avalon Limited, and it is a far superior car to any of the Cadillacs I owned.

Fortunately, Ford has already start the process of reinventing themselves to essentially have a product line like that of Ford of Europe (very smart move, given that Ford of Europe products are well-liked even with fussy European buyers). And Chrysler tying up with Fiat is just as smart move, because the current Fiat product line has come a LONG way from the old "Fix It Again, Tony" days, if you've seen the Grand Punto and Bravo lines now sold in Europe.

As for GM, they may have no choice but to negotiate a planned entrance into Chapter 11 reorganization in order to shrink the company to a manageable size with a proper product line.
