The auto industry in the US is no longer a growth market. Like VW saying they are going to sell 1,000,000 cars a year in 10 years. They are smoking crack. That will only happen by stealing market share. Suppose you did find a formula to sell a bunch of cars right now. You are only going to sell 'so many'. There are only so many drivers out there. So after you have practically "given away" a ton of cars in 2009, what happens in 2010? Who's buying in 2011? The way they are going to survive is not to sell more, its by fixing the root cause==reducing cost. The UAW and the rest of the US auto industry is going to have to adapt or die.
