GM Holden and Ford Australia have pig headedly watched their market share plummet as they continued on making gas hogging large cars when the market had shifted to small to medium or diesel power vehicles - serves them right.

725601 2008-12-05 22:15:00 As for the current world wide financial meltdown, imprudent borrowing and lending is the root cause, coupled with greed, not capitalism as such. KenESmith (6287)
725602 2008-12-05 22:33:00 To cut the big 3 US auto makers a little slack, American people do need to buy big cars as they need to travel big distances.

It was not their fault petrol went though the roof.

And they are making electric cars - Chrysler Volt looks good.

And a lot of their problems are due to the auto unions demanding redundacy pay and health care etc, and the fact that various States would not let them shut dealerships etc.

The problem we have here Ken,is these inefficient bosses paid themselves exorbitant wages.

725604 2008-12-05 23:07:00 Why should they get bailed out?

Coz no Guvvment wants to deal with the subsequent unemployment figures?

But IMO they are dinosaurs that should be left to natural attrition. Asia builds better, cheaper more reliable cars.

The US can just suck it up and deal with it.

Which they won't. :cool:
