If the Auto Companies are bailed out, how does that mean Americans will buy cars the Japanese put to shame?
I really don't understand the reasoning behind it, fail now or fail later Americans are buying cars less and less every month, and a huge majority simply lost faith in Detroit. This is just prolonging the inevitable, NO ONE WANTS WHAT THEY'RE OFFERING! Are you going to force people to buy cars they don't want and have told you loud and clear through domestic sales numbers?
So a bailout will suddenly increase interest in buying a Ford F-150 and the new Mustangs/Chargers/Camaros which are a disgrace compared to their 1960/70s counter parts? Somebody please explain.

A bailout will keep the auto companies afloat for a few more months. . .

The funny thing is that American cars are build really well- the problem is losing the PR/Marketing war with the Japanese.

Bail out is only post phoning the inevitable. GM could put out the best car out there, but as long as they pay out salaries (pensions) to people that are not producing, they will end upside down.

Not necessarily

No Americans will still buy the cars they want from manufacturers other than the Big Three. The Big Three will go hat in hand to government again, an idiot politician will plea for another bailout and on and on it goes in the Parliament of Whores.
Die, Big Three, Die!!! Take the UAW with you.

The difficulty is that these companies have had so long to be innovative and they failed, their companies,their brand and the millions of American people that depend on them to feed their families. Our Capitalist form of governing depends on big companies making good business decisions, not just get rich.

I agree. I’m really for buying American–I never bought a foreign car before my present one, and look to buy American with smaller purchases whenever I can. I looked all over for a good American car, and decided that the Charger was the only thing I wanted. Then I found I could get a Passat at about the same price, and that it was a better car–so guess what I bought.
The only explaination I have is that, now that the political winds have changed and perhaps oil will have less influence over the vehicles we produce, that we could see the American car industry revolutionize and start coming up with cutting edge greener cars soon. With how long it takes a car to get from drawing board to concept car to assembly line, this bailout seems silly (though I have to say, GM already has a pretty good green car in the concept phase). So I think the purpose is to keep people employed until the companies can be viable again. I don’t know how that’s going to work out.
