Bankrupt them, downsize them, get rid of the onerous contracts and
merge Chrysler with Ford.

No bail out.



On some newscast, I heard that a US Congressman or Senator made the
comment
to the 'Big 3' that maybe they were making their vehicles 'too good" and
therefore repeat/replacement sales are slow.
If this is true, what a sad commentary on those in power.


Liberal mentality.

Agreed. For what I paid for my truck I expect it to be the best, low
maintenace and high quality.

If I wanted cheap crap, I would get a 4x4 truck from China, under $10K. Or
a Nano from India for $2500. And at $2500 if it lasted 3-4 years and the
transmission died like my last GM did in 6 months, I would just buy a new
one.

But my guess is China and India are getting quality in. At one point
Japanese was low quality, but they improved at a long but steady rate to
become the better quality choice. These countries will do the same.

Like TVs, computers and other stuff. Probalby too late to fix GM unless you
like spending $10 to save $1.
