smart business move.

I had expected GM & Chrysler to do this earlier. If they did do it,I missed it.

Seeing as their owned in large part by the UAW I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen.

I seem to have noticed, lately, that Ford's TV commercials treat Toyota and Honda as "the competition".

Not GM and Chrysler.

Problem is they may well ask for a bailout to pay for it!

GM and Chryslwer should have gone into bankruptcy and voided the contracts with the union.

Chrysler’s been doing it for years.
was $100K a few years ago, last spring was $70k + a coupon for a $20k car

I know a lot of folks that took it. Blew through the money in a year or less, now bitching about having to work for $10/hr and 0 bennies.

The ones on layoff, still drawing 90% of their pay + full benefits. Some just got called back temporary, enough to reset the clock on their goodies.

The UAW owns a big piece of both companies along with the federal government.
