		<description>I have to agree with Mr. Harrison, and will never buy another car from one of the American firms.

It&#039;s just like PanAm and TWA in the airline industry -- they pissed away their legacy and they are now a footnote in American history.

There&#039;s no stopping the inevitable when all the stakeholders are trapped by their own denial. Let GM, Chrysler and Ford follow their destiny and die -- since you can&#039;t reverse their longstanding culture of mediocrity.

New auto manufacturers will take their place, and earn the right to serve consumer transportation needs.</description>

		<description>bottom line is the US auto makers make terrible, inferior products that break down easy and just don&#039;t have much quality in them

I owned a Chrysler Sebring once and even the dealer couldn&#039;t find out what was wrong with it, after me spending $2,000 to try and find out... I ended up selling the car for $400... yep, $400. Which is less than the tires cost.

Why? because the Sebring was a money pit and broke down all the time, many times on busy highways where you could get killed by speeding traffic

So it was me or the Sebring.

I will NEVER buy a US made car again. They are krap.

Honda, Toyota, etc. (even those made in US) are well made.

So Detroit, you blew it with your krap product.

We taxpayers shouldn&#039;t bail you out for your lousy products.

If any local business fails it cannot apply to Uncle Sam for a freebie. Why should the Big 3 US automakers get a freebie at taxpayer expense?

Let &#039;em fail. They can sell their corporate jets and find something else profitable to do.</description>

		<description>No, that can&#039;t be right! The Auto bailout only affects over paid union members. All those who called the GOP Senator&#039;s offices with threats of riots if they bailed out Auto; knew it would not affect them. That 10, 20 maybe 30% more of their 401K will disappear today. No that can&#039;t be right. Say it ain&#039;t so.</description>
