And which of the above mentioned American cars were designed by members of the UAW? I used to vilify the UAW until last year when it became clear that Ford did not need a bailout, but GM and Chrysler did. All three had to deal with the UAW. Different outcomes.

The Unions make it very hard for Detroit to be flexible, change course quickly, or make much profit out of smaller or economy cars.

I think that Washington DC, with its hostile attitude towards energy, and the resulting gasoline price fluctuations, together with our ridiculous environmental laws ALL contributed greatly to the demise of Detroit.

Unions and Greens -—

A horrible combination!

Even worse are corporate execs who did not fight back, and caved into the crazies!

And which of the above mentioned American cars were designed by members of the UAW?

None.

Designers and engineers are not U.A.W. members.

UAW designed cars?

They may have had part in the design of the Chevy Monza.

I would not be surprised.
