"Perhaps one of these days Ford and GM will realize that if they design cars that people actually want to drive, that might help with their profitability."
You can't say that on Free Republic. It's all the union workers fault. Management has nothing to do with turning out the autos that come from G.M. and Ford.
Thing is, even if the management does manage to bring out a good design, the UAW goons sabotage it with poor build quality and even outright sabotage.
No improvement in quality will be possible until the unions go byebye.
