The question remains, even if the BIG 3 get the loans and start down this path of redemption. Will the American public buy what they produce??

I ask this as I witnessed two of my co-workers decide it was time to replace their older cars and both of them bought "imports". One bought a V6 Camry and the other a Honda Civic Si.

Seems to me that except for some die hard enthusiasts (Corvette, Camaro, and Mustang buyers) the Big 3 just can't break through this barrier to garner the bread and butter buyers necessary to remain in business.

BTW when I asked my co-workers why the Toyota/Honda vs say a Malibu LT or Cobalt SS they both said "are you kidding".

How do US auto makers overcome this basis???? I just don't feel the love from the buying public.
