blame the suv for killing the u.s car companys they spent som much money on making them and not on there car line up and know that the suv market is staying in a straight line and not dieing or growing they don't have anything to make up for the whatever effect of the past suv craze ! that were the import companys are killing them right now they never stop the focus on there root cars and stanard trucks. and the biggest thing other then the uions killing them is that they spent the 20 years building this rep of making bad low quilty cars and trucks.. ever look at under a caviler parts bin car!! and it you under a car like a civic there's real design going on under there !
