I was watching the financial channel and heard one of the stiffs explain that costs must be cut so that GM and Ford could sell more cars. Outside of the rejuvenated Cadillac and the Corvette, I don't see an appealing GM or Ford car. Chrysler isn't worth mentioning. US auto makers have to rely on a large segment not caring about safety or reliability. Or at least not willing to look it up. Perhaps the big three strategy is to have the vehicle in the auto shop most of the time, thereby being "safe". Ford and GM management should seek an "earmark" grant so they can buy Toyota and bring Toyota to its knees. There might be something to that. Daimler bought Chrysler which almost brought Daimler to it's needs. Fortunately, Daimler was able to dump it. It will be interesting what a private firm can do with Chrysler, if anything. jttmab
