US auto bailout [49]
You may laugh, PLK123, but management signed those contracts.
i sure didn't say that they did not but i surely wouldn't say it was all free will either. that is not how the unions work.
i disagree with you on the quality comparison.. i have driven many fords, a chevy a couple of nissans, toyotas, hondas and a benz. all the cars made over seas were hands down better in quality compared to anything coming out of detroit. even the nissan that i had that was made in japan was way better then the same model made here stateside. all the foreign cars were also way more reliable and easier to work on when they did need some help. that's all in my experience, no bs. that's why i think, the big 3 even if they survive will have issues for as long as they put out crap.
however, i do agree with you on the bad managment in motor city but even when directives were coming out of Stuttgart or Berlin, chrysler was still making junk.
