I'd also like to point out that Ford has had the ultimate bailout for decades. Its called the "damn near every police car and city vehicle in the country is a ford," and they make a shit load of money off that.

I'd call that a wise business strategy.

Bob Dog is right though, American car companies generally make crap. And to make matters worse are all those "free-market capitalists" that insist on buying American just because it's American. That's not capitalism, that's nepotism at worst and nationalism at best. Capitalism would dictate that consumer's buy the best product regardless of who makes it.
