"YES, but Toyota had 3 of the top 5."

And two of them are made in the US. I am not claiming US car companies have a reasonable product mix. They don't. Ford is the closest, and they are running hell-bent for leather to improve that.

"The fundamental problem 6 months ago was that the union contracts"

No, the fundamental problem has been the "bigger, lower, wider" meme that has dominated their thinking for over a half of a century. That is ok when the economy is doing well and gas is cheap. But every time that has changed, they have bled heavily and lost market share that they never regained. And they never learned. So they have been steadily ratcheting downwards.
