Bail-out or no, the biggest problem is that Detroit is NOT making cars that people will buy.
Poor product, bad after-sale service, dishonest dealerships, and salespeople from H*ll, have all left a bad taste in peoples mouth.
What's next, asking for a huge tariff on foreign cars? It may be the only way they can compete, in today's shrinking market.
Ford may survive, GM and Chrysler are probably toast.
