The one thing that the Big 3 have in common is that every plant they have is represented by the UAW. The only off shore car company plant that ever became unionized was the Hundai assembly plant in Bromont, Quebec which was shut down within weeks after the union was certified. They would rather shut down a relatively new assembly plant than have a unionized shop.

Wayne,you're pretty good at"selective"posting.

25 years ago?try 35-40.25 years ago Japanese cars were made better than our "Detroit Iron".Nothing says garbage like late70s-early 80's GM cars.

American quality policies?That's funny.You mean Dr.Demings quality policies.The ones Japan took to heart and Detroit said F.U. to.

Walmart did the same thing as Hyundai.
