If gas prices stay high, American automakers are dead. Trucks and SUV's are the only money-makers they have.

"IF true, market forces at work, nothing more, nothing less."

Yep. GM/Ford have discovered that their products are not worth what they'd like to sell them for. Now they simply need to find the price at which their product moves.........and then make sure that their cost of doing business results in a profit.

Of course that last part won't happen until after they declare bankruptcy and void all their union contracts/pensions. It's now clear that this path is unavoidable.
