My point was that the public's perception won't change until there is a huge shake up. The general public is currently blind to the increases in quality no matter what the automakers are currently doing.
While their quality has rose, their perception is still the same.

I missed nothing. This argument is not about quality. Those huge strides have come real damn late. And if that is in fact true, then restructuring under chalter 11 might be exactly what they need to do. Reduce the number of and types of vehicles and sell the **** out of those to get back on their feet.

Don't talk about what's in my eyes. I own a ford, chevy, jeep, hond and a damn yamaha bike.

I DON'T CARE WHERE THE PROFITS GO! It's none of my business. If any of us really did we wouldn't be buying so many chinese goods. And if you are buying those you are just blowing smoke.
If you cannot stay on topic then there is never anything that anyone can say that will affect your way of thinking. The idea of where the profits go, is an ENTIRELY different subject. But you cannot deny that there are thousands of jobs at foreign manufactures right here in the US. Would you rather them go under and lose those jobs, even though they are producing cars people want, so that you can keep your job?
You and the big 3 are relying on blind loyalty. Sorry, but that is gone.
