Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, and other car manufacturers in the USA don't seem to have the problems of GM, Ford, and Chrysler. How do they differ from the Big Three? Hmmmm ... the words "United Auto Workers" comes to mind.
There’s also the added point of those makers didn’t spend 30 years pissing all over their customer base. The “Olds diesel”, the “Cadillac Cimmaron”, and the Ford Pinto come to mind.
