Still doesn't explain why Americans are buying Toyota though and not Fords.

I didn't think that was the question. I thought the question was why Toyota can make money and Detroit can't. The union thing is a big difference between them. Toyota has a pricing edge and a management/workforce collaboration edge. If Toyota and Ford made the exact same product, Toyota would make more money.

There are, of course, other differences between Toyota and Ford. One very prominent one is that they don't make the same product. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Ford and I'm not alone.
