<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In line with one of your points: I just bought a

even visually, it was inferior. Couldn't get a Bendix in a timely

$134.) Difference would have been worth it, but I needed to get the
brakes fixed pronto. Hope the thing works O.K.--brakes are too important

trash bin, and on goes a Bendix.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Popular conception of the average autoworker that helps foster the notion
the original US car manufacturers sell over priced, inferior products because
of organized labor. I personally do not favor unions but saw their need first
hand. I spent 3 1/2 years with GM in Tarrytown NY, 2 weeks on the assembly
line and the rest of the time in skilled trades with a short stint as a per
diem supervisor. The press failed to mention when publicizing UAW wages that
typically a "line person" was working 46 to 54 hours a week and the press
included health and pension benefits into their hourly wage numbers. Add up
your salary and all benefits and break it down by hour, I think you will be
surprised. Fact is very few could do what autoworkers do in a typical
day, hang 600 or so fenders, bumpers, doors, paint and lay lead in full
jump suits with respirators ( 50's through 80's ). It is hard, boring and
tedious work. But many of those people put their sons and daughters through
college so they might have a better life. They were a huge part of the
middle class, which by the way pays the freight in this country and far too
many send their sons and daughters overseas to push questionable
political agendas. During my tenure with GM I saw 3 deaths and countless
serious injuries. For sure, there were abuses on both sides, union and
management. However, the UAW did not make the decision to put all their eggs
in one basket pushing low mpg SUV's in a world of $60 + barrel of oil costs.
The major blame of the original US automakers current blight can be laid at
managements doorstep, adopting pay later schemes to pay for benefits and
paying executives as much as 500 times what employees make. The totally out of
control health care costs in this country threaten to bankrupt everyone if
left unchecked. In fact many big US companies in general suffer the same
business model, pay later and pay way to much to the decision makers for
making questionable long term decisions. Not everyone can be a rocket
scientist, doctor or Bill Gates. I'll continue to purchase US made products
when available and that's the real crime, often their is no US made
alternative. If my recent experience with overseas built junk LCD TV's is any
indication, we all soon will wish we didn't export the middle class. You
get exactly what you pay for, never more. </DIV>

<DIV>What seems to be forgotten is that Chrysler paid the govt back every

<DIV>I may P.O. some people, but I firmly believe that the industry's main
problem is the Unions. I remember growing up in the 50's and 60's. There
were strikes nearly every other year with the Unions DEMANDING greater and
greater benefits, now we are all paying for them. One is early retirements
with life time guaranteed medical benefits, with NO contribution from
the workers, another was paying some HS drop out 3 times the minimum wage
just to but lug nuts on the cars.</DIV>

have to agree. IMO the domestic car companies produce as good if not
better vehicles than their overseas counterparts. It has become
"trendy" to own certain plaques over others. A Chevrolet Z06
Corvette with no other changes other than a Ferrari badge would
cost well into the 6 figures instead of 70K. There used to be a
saying "as GM goes so does the USA". Many think that no longer
applies. I say watch what happens if GM and/or Ford goes chapter
