Detroit took its customer base for granted...

While many blame the unions, it was management who agreed to their demands.

Mismanagement and attempts at quick fixes have caused horrible long term damage to Detroit and her brands.

Personally I think Detroits biggest problem has been mismanagement, across the board. Only at a place like GM could you be accused of sexual harrassment 8 times and still have a job in the same company.

It does seem that finally they are starting a turn around, GM rediscovered styling, at least partially... etc etc etc.

Time will tell.

Chevy Duramax, HD2500........

Simply AWESOME! I have two, they get 20mpg, pull heavy loads w/5th wheel trailer, the '02 has 650,000 & the '05 has 270,000. They both run like the day they were new, and all I've done to them is change oil, filters and tires.

They ride like stretched limos, and I use the '02 to make personal trips (Crew cab) because it is so comfy, looks good too!
