Not to mention all of the companies that the big 3 squashed before anybody could have ever heard of em. They came to be called the big 3 for a reason, they had a monopoly on the market for a long time. And I agree with the statement about the unions, they had a valueable purpose at one time, now they're just part of the problem. Why should a worker on an assembly line make $30-$60 an hour just to push a button or run some screws in? The guys in the field get paid ALOT less(believe me I know, I used to work at a dealership) to fix THERE FUC@UPS! PDI's could be a real PITA sometimes because the people building these cars just don't care. They sat around for years saying the import craze wouldn't last, well it did last because they built a better product. By the time the big 3 caught up in quality, well what were seeing now is evidence of what happened.
