Bye Bye Big Three?

Well for one thing. It will force that fat of the US big three to take a look at themselves in the mirror. Really times are changing. 80-90% of the American public see the car as an appliance. Do we really need 5 mediocre appliance mfg's? No not really. Three of the 5 are not that good at it either.

We have abused and weathered the last 100 years of the great world of the automobile, but the facts are what they are. You have to ask yourself can the last 20 years of auto production be the same for the next 20. Maybe. Why do people like my son and his friends think differently about life and the automobile. The car is only the conduit. Henry Ford got his wish; "transportation for the masses". This is a cycle and like anything else. We are overweight and the fat needs to go. Change is good but most people are scared of. The industry will survive but it will be small and agile not fat and slow.

You have places around the world where that are just busting at the seems for independence. The auto industry will be there not just GM, Ford or Chrysler. The big 3 need to get off their arrogant fat asses and fix what they f'd up. Just think of the potential in mfg cars to export to China or India? That's good for another 20 years worth of work.

The reality is that we as a nation and as well as individual (myslef included) need to loss some fat the cost will be high, but the result great.
