Ford and the big three have been doing this for years--dressing up their junk cars as new, good designs and selling them to bankroll their failed business plan.

Ford and GM deserve to go broke and out of business if they continue to do business as usual. Bankruptcy may actual wake them up and give them a chance to dump the union failed business model.

"Ford and GM deserve to go broke and out of business if they continue to do business as usual. Bankruptcy may actual wake them up and give them a chance to dump the union failed business model."

The union is a major part of the problem, but only part. The UAW doesn't design vehicles that consumers don't want to buy. That's management's fault ... as is the marketing decision to run pickup commercials throughout NFL telecasts while viewers are getting a beer from the fridge or emptying the beer in the john.

But FReepers would never criticize management.
