Now, while I am always quick to smack down the American car folks, I get the feeling that we are now entering a pretty bad scene.  And who do we blame?  Most likely, everyone involved, from the Unions through upper Management.  It seems like a small miracle that Chrysler and GM lasted as long as they did.  I mean, come on now, can we really call the junk known as the K-Car, the last salvation of Chrysler?  Or the X-Cars from GM? 

I was reading the comments on the New York Times site, and the overwhelming response from the readers was complete hatred towards GM Management, Unions, and the products they produce.

By producing such garbage in the eighties, when many of us were just begining to drive, the American manufacturers effectively alienated an entire generation of future car buyers.  And it didn't take a crystal ball to see this all coming.

Looks like there is more than enough blame to be passed around on this one.

Just a shame that so many innocent working folks had to be affected by this mess.
