GM people are not dumb they just have choices that are bad and worse. Their 
"sunk cost" (cost before they build car 1) is so horrific that they can 
only make money on cars with a lot of profit, not "loss leaders" or economy 
cars. You think they did not sweat every penny out of the HHR and still 
come in $100 over the PT ?

Chrysler went broke in 1979 and now has M-B as a parent. Toyota and Honda 
don't have 60 years of benefits adding to overhead.. You say GM isn't 
competing. The problem is that GM *can't* compete unless something drastic 
happens.

I don't like it either and have no good answer other than all of my cars 
are GM (but the newest is a '92).

Did used to rent a lot of cars but my favorite naturally was an Oldsmobile.
