[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 826760, member: 52914"] It's true, Mookie. The solution isn't quite as simple as "make X type of vehicle". A big problem is that the unions are forcing the hand of the Big Three. They have to chase the cash cow because they have to make tons of money because they have to pay out a ton of money. Not all of the blame is at the union level, as there is plenty of wasteful spending at the corporate level, too. Luckily, the UAW has realized that they are a big reason why the Domestic auto is uncompetitive on many levels and have eased their contracts to ease the burden on the manufacturers and make to competitive again, at least on fiscal field. It's...complicated. But not the end. The Big Three will be around for many years to come. It'll take at least 5 years before life starts to appear again, but it's there. Don't expect a whole lot of new cars or updates to be coming, and expect to see quite a few models quietly leave the party. [/QUOTE]
