Actually, Dave, it's the men from YOUR profession, bean counters, that drove Detroit into the ground. The engineers designed good cars, the union and management were ready to build them, but then you BEAN COUNTERS stepped in. They spoke to management. If we did this, took these functional parts and designs and made them as cheaply as possible, out of cheap materials just good enough to get out of the showroom, would not our profits be THAT much greater? SURE, some would fail, and people would die, but not enough successful lawsuits to outweigh the increased PROFIT! LOOK at the NUMBERS! If we took these materials that we put in our show cars, and substituted cheap vinyl and plastic, LOOK at how much more PROFIT per vehicle! ..and on and on. It was the BEAN COUNTERS that did in Detroit, and the managers that listened to them. But, those managers GOT their bonuses!
