U.S. Automakers Continue To Lose Money On Vehicles Built In North America

If this is true, how much longer can the domestic guys stay in the game? Just a theoretical question?

I have a feeling that instead of the "big" 3 fixing their problems, will take all of their manufacturers ouside the country for cheap labor and still survive that way and yet make much more money.

A logical one at that. These companies lose billions not millions and they still operate, i don't know of any other business that can survive losing on the products they make just to get the product off the lot. Fuzzy math is a alive and well?

And talk about unions?!?!?! What about Europe's unions!? Europe can kiss that 35hour workweek goodbye pretty soon here b/c of Chinese and Korean competition.

Hey jackass....my entire family is business people and engineers. Im an engineer. For you to find pleasure in someone getting shafted is sickening. What'd they ever do to you? Yea I don't think that factory line workers should be making what they do....but I definately don't wish poverty upon them.

You need to check your attitude at the door pal....you seriously have some issues. With that attitude some "union goon" might hear what you have to say and knock some humility into you.

How come they mention Ford with each vehicle "built" in N.A. while Nissan is mentioned with each vehicle "sold"?

If the UAW doesn't cut back on their obscene "free for life" health benefits and "slow down, you're making us look bad" attitudes, there won't be a UAW left. Toyota/Honda have proven that automanufacturing can exist quite nicely w/o unions.

CUt back on advertising. Every other commercial is a domestic car ad.

This story honestly makes me want to cry. This is horrible for America. It just shows how gov't regulations and unions, while well intending, end up backfiring and putting everyone out of a job. These are American institutions that are crumbling down. DOn't get me wrong, the companies are partially to blame, but the less "free" the market is, the more blame can be placed elsewhere for failure.

Unfortunately, geographically, Mexico is a part of N.America. I can't think of many UAW/CAW workers who are happy that the Fusion and Cadillac ESV and others are still built in N.America.
