10 Cars That Sank Detroit

[Bill Bess]

Hey Now..I just got to weighin on this one.

Think back to the 50's, cheap cars..buy a new one every two years..no problem.
60's, bigger cars, more HP, still cheap to buy..same poor quality.
70's, really junk quality..getting more expense..really poor quality, had to do a valve job every 35'000 miles and hope to hick the darn thing lasted until it was paid for.
80's , still junk, slightly better quality, too many mis guide attempts to improve, they provided too many new variations of the same old stuff.
90's, better quality, more dependable, more expensive, poor service from dealers, couldn't compete with the continuing imports.
2000, much improve quality and reliability, improve mileage and performance, but too many models that nobody wanted and staggering increases in costs. Too many government reulations and requirements, Unreasonable Union demands and stupid contracts...no end to their stupidity.

Anyway, here we are in a situation that doesn't give the car companies much wiggle room, no way out and they will fail. Whos' fault is it?

I think it part public perception ( mindset) that foriegn cars have better quality, Americans that won't support their own countrys products, Unions, greedy CEO's and very poor leadership in the big three.

Buy one of the big three now...Obama will cover the warranty forever! How can you beat that deal.
