It isn't doing well either. I am worried that we are about to lose the entire American car industry. I don't think Ford and GM will go out of business but rather they will be bought off like Chrysler was by Mercedes.

And there is no excuse for such a development...........we should not be at the bottom of the heap given American technical prowess and design capabilities. I just think the mgmt for both companies is out of date and stodgy. Adding to the burden is the unpaid pension funds with both companies.
