what I dont see is anyone going after the unions and demanding more work for less pay. if you get more pay for less work your boss files bankruptcy anyone who has owned a business knows this kindergarten level fact. when are people going to get this basic fact of life.

Nobody is understanding the real reason. 2 weeks before 2yk gas was$.99 but went up to $1.59 because of y2k . after that never came down. Sorry second week went down to$1.39. The reason was demand and supply. Suddenly it is an excuse .What we really need to right to officials for investigation. The oil companies are making huge profit.That what people need to do and send congress who doesn't agree when election come back home.

THE US AUTO BUSINESS WILL GO THE SAME AS THE US STEEL INDUSTRY- WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE BUT PREVALENT.

The ol Volkswagon Beetle was not know as a fuelsaver, the early diesels had not heat to speak of and the new Volkswagon Beetles are also not very good on gas.

Better check out some Domestics.

The fellow that only bought BMW should wait till he goes in for servicing and parts. Here in Canada the Anti-Freeze for the BMW's is $45+ 13% tax. This on account the aluminium is such it cannot withstand our regular stuff and it will attack the BMW alloys. Good luck buying German evn Mercedes-Benz after a few years are worth nothing here in Canada and are just rusting away.

Their getting what they deserve, too bad we the working class have to pay the price. The Auto Industry, Wall Street you name it. Instead of bailing out Wall Street and making us pay for it, give the money to the people. They cound give every legal citizen 1 million dollors. Think what that would do for the economy and be a whole lot cheaper then 700 billion

THE MAIN PROBLEMS WITH THE DOMESTIC CAR COMPANYS 1) THE UNIONS HAVE PUT THE CAR COMPANYS IN A POSITION THAT THEY CAN NOT AFFORD. THE PAY AND BENEFITS THEY GET ARE THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY. 2) CEO/S AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAKING WAY TO MUCH. YOU EVER WONDER JUST HOW MANY BOARD OF DIRECTORS THERE ARE ON THE BOARDS OF THE BIG 3? OVER 12 ON EACH MAKING 1 MILLION PLUS EACH. THE UNIONS NEED TO GO FIRST. NONE OF THE FORIEGN MAKERS HAVE UNIONS IN ANY OF THERE PLANTS WITHIN THE U.S. WHY IS THAT?

You're all correct!

The American car market reflected its true value to the producers when VW North America painstakingly punched us in the face over twelve months of delay in redirecting the TDI series into Euro markets because their demand was greater, or their profit was better, even with freight costs . . . Regardless of why, the fact remains: America has lost its big stick and we don't account for much in the New World Order.

I'm sorry, did I forget to mention we're sitting on scads of oil, an industry we developed from Spindletop to what it is today? 'Grow' more fuel too and stick it to Exxon while we're at it.

This was a problem that the U.S. automakers and government knew about 30 years ago and did nothing about it. The biggest problem is greed and U.S. automakers not really caring about the consumer. But it is also our problem because the consumer for years bought huge trucks, SUV's and sport cars that were not fuel efficient and were way too expensive. I just hope that we can produce fuel efficient vehicles before gas is $10.00 a gallon.
