well, considering how much GM is losing money even with laying off jobs same as ford and delphi, i am of the opinion that they are losing money because of bad management decisions. (they killed off several good cars in the 80s for the worse IMO) but, a few of the domestic brands are actually making money, though not enough to keep GM as a whole bouyant. kill off the heads, reform the smaller companies, to have a new group of automotive manufacturers, since it does seem that Pontiac AND Saturn are both the only ones that are activately selling, while Buick and Cadillac are still not selling enough volume to justify the massive investments they both recieved, and GMC is losing money, not enough trucks to compete with the likes of Ford F series, Ford is losing a battle with the idealists and realists, trying to introduce new models and trying to shake off their deserved reputation of being "Ford Rental car manufacturers" which had the boring models being developed by focus groups, not exactly ideal but it worked for a short time. Delphi, im not sure whats up with them, although ive heard many stuff, and most seem to imply that delphi is losing money and its either go bankrupt or go offseas. Chrysler, having already been bought by Daimler, has been very good in sales and marketing compared to the other 2, and since their key models have been consistently revamped and restyled more often, and bringing the Hemi back wasnt a chance decision, it was a smart decision keying on the emotions of people, and now with their Challenger concept, they are sure to keep buyers.
