It's Funny to hear GM being defiant as the inevitable is about to happen(Toyota becoming number 1 in the world). As History will sadly note an American(the father of the 2nd industrial revolution) was responsible for the demise of the Big 3. The father of the second industrial revoultion's child(Toyota) is resposible for the demise of the children(GM, Ford, DC) of father of the first industrial revolution(Henry Ford). Actually the Big 3 automakers should blame Gen Douglas MacArthur for inviting this American to Japan to help in the rebuilding after WWII. But then again the Big 3 had sent this American packing after they rejected his teachings and to this day are paying for it dearly.
I remember in the 1980s as the Big 3 were bad mouthing American Labor as the sole source of their woes, Toyota and Honda started building MFG plants in the US employing this libeled American Labor. What do you know the quality of the American made Japaneese cars were almost the equivalent of the cars made in Japan.
In the 90s, the Big 3 again blamed their diminishing market share on American Labor and begin offshoring their labor to 3rd world countries. Meanwhile, JDPowers and CR were making a mockery of the Big 3s quality/reliability woes.
In the new milineum, the Big 3s trash talking continues as they blame again American Labor for their woes, but this time it's the company retiree pensioners and their Health benefits. The Bravado of Corporate America is best exemplified by Enron, in their total contempt for American Labor which is what the Big 3 are all about. GMs newest Silverado commercial announcing "This is our Country" is a Corporate America's Oxymoron. Here they preach Patriotism, when in reality Corporate Americas CEOs are ONLY patriotic to the almighty dollars they have lying in an offshore bank account. I always believed that incompetent Management were punished(Fired), but imagine rewarding the suddenly fired CEO of Home Depot, $210 Million for his incompetence is beyond me. GM can say whatever they want but a POS is what they will continue to build!!
