I don't think you know much about global business (and you call me not bright?). I don't have time or space to explain it to you. the real ignorance is folks buying a Chevy or Ford and thinking they are getting an American product.

Upshot is the U.S. automakers made their bed with inferior quality product and shoddy management and uncaring labor that let other auto makers into the market. The market responded by buying the better product and actually boosted (forced?) the domestics into designing and building a more quality product.
