Bob
Did you really write and mean this:

"Until the big three get back into the business of making automobiles that people want"

Have you ever heard of a minivan Bob?
I thought that was made by Chrysler years ago, maybe I'm wrong. Such a bad design wasn't it, you hardly ever see any on the highways. So bad even Honda and Toyota make them now. What Japanese engineer gets credit for that design Bob ?

Such an unpopular vehicle wasn't it, such poor engineering and styling. Were they bought just by people who thought it was patriotic to "Buy American" or do you think they were purchased by Americans who actually liked this product.
Give some credit to American automobile manufacturers would you.
Also, ever heard of "Jeep", built during the war
and still around, imagine that. And who was that war against?
