New study shows U.S. automakers losing money on every car - Autoblog (#)

„Supply and demand. If you send a message that you want a car assembled here with mostly American parts (again, there is no purity thing but I wasnt as many jobs (parts) as reasonably possible) then that is what they will give us. If buyers are buying anything from anywhere then you can't blame a seller for going anywhere eventually. AND if you aren't happy with the offerings from the Big 2 then by all means, this a free country, go start a car company and show us how it is done.“
