Chrysler and GM might as well merge. That would be the only way to re-negotiate the massive payouts they owe over the long term. I'm surprised with robotics there are any human workers left to be honest. Must be the union keeping them in there. The auto industry in general is already too big to fail. In 2008 when every related supply/support business was tanking they had to prop these companies up. I respect Ford for at least trying to do the right things, even though I'm sure they benefit as well.

As a side note about the pricing on new cars.....hell with that. Why would I go buy a $55,000 4wd supercab truck when I can get the same one 5-6 years old with low miles for 16k at 60 months and 3% interest? Just be picky and find the right used one. Then again there is nothing like buying a new car, but I've already been through that stage and had some really nice stuff. When you drive a car you paid 80k for for 3-4 years and it's then worth 20k you learn pretty quickly, haha.
