So how did the non-Detroit makers do, or is this because of Greenspan's battle against economic growth?

Any way you slice these turkeys, these car companies are TOAST.

It is clear that Toyota and Honda are grinding them into dust. RIP

make a good, safe, economical car and sell it at a reasonable price and people will buy it.

make a good, safe, economical car and sell it at obscene prices, and you get what you deserve.

This might explain why Ford has called us 2-3 times in the last month asking us to consider purchasing a new vehicle.

Crapboxes.

Nissan and Hyundai make better cars right in the US in MS and AL.

Theres no need to buy American.


And yes, the Sonata is much better quality than many GM and Ford vehicles.

Paraphrase of a quote I read somewhere:

There is no problem in the automobile industry that good product will not solve.

Ford should stick to what they do best, trucks and Mustangs, and maybe improve the look of their small nimble foreign Focus. Dump Taurus for goodness sakes... and Crown Victorias only work for cops, I would scale back to a Camry size and convenient like competitor instead, maybe with a Tbird look. Big Sedans are a waste in an SUV world.

Chrysler ought to be ashamed for selling vehicles as bad as their minivans. Poorly made, overpriced and 9 times out of 10 whenever I see a trail of blue exaust smoke going down the road, you can be sure it is coming out of a Caravan's tailpipe.

Probably had a lot to do with gas prices. Last month would have been a good month to buy a big car.

Cadillac is GM's best division I think.
