This is gut check time people. The Japanese government supports their companies, it is time to stand up and be counted or start heading to the rice boards.

I support the Big 3.
I was 100% american when it came to cars until three years ago. I would buy two new american cars every two to three years. I got tired of all the warranty problems that GM or Ford would try and deny. It just got really old. This is why I went to Toyota and BMW.

In regards to the bail out. I do not agree and I do agree. If we just give them money then we are fools because it will not change anything. The unions have bankrupt the auto industry. This statement may not go well here. However, what company can support $7 billion in retiree health care?

When times are good and you are loosing money maybe something is way wrong!
