As someone who has sold to GM and Chrysler, I can certainly understand why. The auto makers like their suppliers to cut the price for the same product every year, sometimes 10-20 percent a year for each year of an agreement. Yet, their finished products cost more every year.

All the auto manufacturers do it. The trick is to not let them become your sole source of income.

I have often wondered why GM has always reserved the stick for their suppliers, never for the UAW?

Between this and the outsourcing, GM deserves anything they get.

Yet, their finished products cost more every year. The union payoffs have to come from somewhere. :-)

I supposwe that GM is not aware that getting a new supplier each year is obvious to the car purchaser?
I bought my last American-made car in 1962.
A repeat does not look promising...
All things being equal I prefer to buy American.
But not at the price of being a fool.
