The main problem with the US manufacturers, particularly of cars, is not the banking crisis or the mass unemployment it has caused. (Do you see the American Japanese-car factories suffering?)
It’s the fact that their new products are designed by committee (i.e. ugly) and devoid of many commonplace advances in manufacturing and ergonomics (i.e. cheaply-made, but not cheap, pieces of crap). Also their marketing is sclerotic. For each new GM model, there are 10 different guises/camouflages.

Actually, their biggest problem, in the US, is the fact that the socialist-made Canadian GM cars are cheaper, because our socialised healthcare expenses cost much less than the US's private insurers' get-rich-quick schemes of accepting ridiculously-expensive dues and not paying out for cancer, for example. How else can US insurers afford to bribe Congress to turn a blind eye? I ask you.
