The big three tried several times over the years to make smaller cars that got better gas mileage but people wouldn't buy them. They produced what people would buy!...biga$$ guzzlers.

The Union's greed in demanding the lowliest worker make $24 an hour and rediculous benefits while doing shoddy work is, in my opinion, the BIGGEST reason the big 3 never could and never will be able to compete with the imports. Even the imports made in the US are union free. Their employees have voted down the union every year! The reason? The companies treat them like gold. Listen to them. Reward them in ways other than outrageous pay and benefits. They make the worker feel appreciated and valued. The worker returns the favor by doing good work!
Until the unions are busted out of the big 3, it will never change. I would like to say let 'em fail but what about the millions of good people working in other businesses that support the auto industry. Can we really afford another 3 or 4 million people on the unemployment rolls...losing their houses....etc?
I don't know what the answer is but a good start would be throwing out every one of the top executives along with the union. Offer the workers a fair wage and insurance plan, etc.
BTW, the new Chevy Malibu is a great car. I'd consider one over a Toyota Camry but I would be afraid it would be worthless when parts and service were not available for it!
