The problem with Detroit is that instead of spending the money to improve internal controls, be innovative, and produce a better product that people want, they'll spend the money on advertising claiming that they've accomplished those ends. Ford, GM, and Dodge, however, do make good reliable trucks. Realize that some people have to carry a one ton cargo or tow a trailer on a regular basis and need the horse power and appropriate drive and suspension systems. I believe that the USA needs a manufacturing base for national security purposes. We can't afford to lose those skills. We also need engineers and that profession will go where there's manufacturing and need for their expertise.
