Exactly, the American automotive industry wants one thing, "MONEY". From the Corporation head, the Unions, and the workers who want more money to do less work.

And it is also North American peoples fault also, we want everything for nothing.
Because of that attitude look what we get, poor workmanship and poor quality cars and most things in general. This is also the reason why everything is being sent overseas. Imagine how great North America would be if we were more like the Japanese.

Me personally I have this attitude. "Pay now, or pay later".

I would rather pay more for a better quality car then buy a cheaper quality car and pay for all the repairs and extra fuel costs later on, which in the long run is becomes more expensive then buying the better quality car in the first place.
