how quickly everyone jumps on the anti- D3 movement. people look at what the media says about their finances and losses and automatically assume that management incompetence is to blame. everyone over simplifies the issue to Toyota= good, D3= bad without really looking into the issues. Before I go any further, i would like to say that, YES, the big 3 messed up up on more than one occasion. That being said, i have never heard on the news how much money Toyota lost on the new tundra, or how much Nissan has lost on the Titan. If i can find the numbers i will post them, but it is measured in the billions. this from the companies that everyone thinks are perfect, and just happened to perfectly release their new trucks as gas went through the roof.

No one mentions how GM has more tipple the dealers of toyota, but can't close them with its downsizing efforts because of dealer protection laws.

No one mentions how all of those layoffs over the past year or to are still getting paid 95% of their wages because of the UAW.

this is not supposed to be a full out, go big 3! speach. rather, i just want people to try and realize that this whole issue is much more complex than people realize.
