I concur with you 100%. I don't get why some here are so bent on beating up Toyota, Honda, And Nissan in an effort to save the UAW. It's not there fault GM and Ford built and now are reaping the benefits of a faulty business model.

I used to have a 96 Honda Accord and I traded it in 2003 for a Ford 150 Supercrew. I regret it now. Needless to say when we bought a new vehicle for the family in 2005 we we skipped the Big three and got a Toyota Sienna. The quality is second to none. When my truck is ready to be traded in I will look at Toyota and Nissan and pick from those two.

You don't understand. I hate Toyota because of the unfair trading policies of the Japanese. Sell cars in the US at a loss in many cases. They sell cars in their own country for top dollars because they prevent US car companies from selling in their country. Also, Japanese care companies are subsidized by their government. Our government makes it difficult for American companies to compete because of rules and regs-anti-business. I won't argue that GM has been badly managed over the years. However, trade policies are such that even with good management, American companies are at a disadvantage unless they move their plants to third world countries-using slave labor really.
